When goals become jobs to be done, dreams are nightmares we avoid. Keep things fun.

You can’t change and be somebody else in the future unless you start becoming a little better at being that future person today.⁣⁣

Are you in love with your idea more than your reality? Change that.

Real-time relevancy gets real results, now

I did hundreds of interviews with people in retirement or approaching retirement. Here was their theme: 'I was waiting for a time when I’d have more time, education, experience or money to do what I wanted to do…only to find out when I got there that I still needed more time, more education, more experience and more money.

Nothing new or innovative is created without a stretch of the imagination. Reach your goals by reaching for the sky with some brain stretches of the imagination every day.

I’ve learned that people say they can’t put their goals at the center of life (family, time, travel, faith, health), but they have no problem putting work there at their expense. If that hurt, good. Change something.

I suddenly realized that if we are sitting around waiting—maybe even begging and pleading—for our circumstances to change so that we can finally live life the way we really want to live, chances are very good that we will stay stuck waiting forever.

At the end of each day, as you prepare for the next, take an inventory of your life, your thoughts and where you’re headed.
