“Nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.”
Denzel Washington
“But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep moving forward? That's how winning is done!”
Sylvester Stallone
The New Year is almost upon us. Maybe it is already here by the time you read this. Whatever the date is, we need to remind ourselves to keep moving forward in life. Never stay in your current state for too long because that leads to decline, decay, and depression. So how can we keep advancing into the New Year and Awesome Life?
Start by figuring out where you are today. Right here, in this very moment! Look back just once a year to see how far you have come on your grand journey. What great adventures, feelings, and connections have you made so far? How many times do you feel you have levelled up in life? What do you like about yourself and your life so far?
Take Stock of Your Progress. Where do you want to go, and how far away is your BIG goal? What are you going to do about it in a month, this week, and this very day to make progress? What is your passion or Mission in Life? Calibrate yourself, decide on what’s important, and then take immediate action every day. Progress will be easier if you do something, even small things, every day in the direction of your goals.
Celebrate the WINs. Did you make some progress today? Celebrate! Did you overcome an obstacle or that feeling of not wanting to try again? Victory! Did you wrestle with competing responsibilities and choose the one that moves you forward? You are a champion! Don’t stop now. Rinse and repeat this daily!
And the last ingredient in your Forward Journey is to realize that time is flying by whether you like it or not. Whether you notice it or not. Might as well have some epic challenges and meaningful struggles as you keep trying to make some daily progress in the direction of your hopes, desires, and mission. Start today!
“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
Seneca. On The Shortness of Life
