Have you ever been tempted to set a small goal, simply because you perceived it as being easily attainable? I believe that most of us have been guilty of this more often than we would care to admit. Perhaps you didn’t pursue what you really wanted, because you were afraid that you would not be able to obtain it. Now, just take a moment and imagine what you could accomplish if you decided to challenge yourself more. What if you decided that you would much rather try and miss the mark, than not try at all? Are you willing to stretch yourself beyond what feels comfortable? We are naturally wired to avoid discomfort. For this very reason, you must be intentional about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Begin by thinking about what it is that you would like to accomplish before the end of 2015. Next, ask yourself “How can I stretch this goal?”
Your potential is unlimited. Therefore, you have the capacity to overcome any challenge that you encounter. Remember, your mind sincerely believes whatever you ask it to believe. Today, I challenge you to upgrade your belief about what you are capable of achieving. You deserve to have a vision that stretches you. Don’t worry about seeming unrealistic. If you want to be extraordinary, you must first have an extraordinary vision. When you upgrade your vision, you are ultimately choosing to challenge your self-doubt and silence your inner critic. Until next time….
