11 Strategies To Expand Your Life In a Powerful Way
1.Define your future. Describe the life
you’d like to live. The future you see defines
the person you’ll need to be. Identify the
traits and qualities you’d like to acquire. Think
bigger than yourself. An acorn that only thinks
as an acorn will never become a mighty oak.
Stretch yourself. You are undoubtedly
capable of more than you ever dreamed is
possible for you.
2. Become the person who would achieve
your goals. As you develop the skills,
knowledge, relationships and demeanor of the
“future you,” your goals will be the natural by-
product of your growth. Spend an extra hour
each day in the study of your chosen field.
3. Give more than you must. Nothing
advances until somebody does more than they
are paid to do. Always deliver more value than
others expect. Don’t require others to
acknowledge your generosity. Give with “class.”
4. Make time for what you love. If you
don’t live fully, you deny the world your
potential contributions. Your “play” sometimes
contributes as much as your “work.” What you
love reveals the value you bring to the world.
5. Refine your Inner Circle. We define
ourselves through our key relationships.
Explore the mix and depth of those with whom
you spend most of your time. Release those
who limit you and connect with those who can
help you live more fully.
6. Resolve your unfinished business. Either
deal with it or discard it. Say your apologies,
face your fears, pay your debts, express your
gratitude and get on with living. Don’t let
yesterday drain value from today and
tomorrow. Break out of the limited world of
your past and start to grow.
7. Rethink existing habits and routines.
Describe your typical day and then
reconsider every aspect of it. Change or
expand the places you go, people you see,
things you do, and the time you devote to each.
Try new things. Learn a new language, go
someplace different, do some things you’d
typically pass by. Find out what your
possibilities really are.
8. Lighten up. Stop stressing over things
that only matter to you emotionally. When life
isn’t fair to you, get over it quickly. Take your
misfortunes as “course corrections” rather
than “catastrophes.” Let go so you can grow.
9. Tighten up. Sloppiness in life allows more
variables to creep in and spoil your plans.
Stay on target, increase your self-discipline,
master the art of self-motivation. Sometimes
details matter a lot.
10. Profile yourself. Keep a journal of your
goals, concerns, fears, and dreams. Review it
at least once a year. Look for patterns that
reveal your core values, natural velocity,
natural intelligences and recurring situations.
Realize how life ebbs and flows for you.
Notice the natural cycles of life. Know
yourself.
11. Invest in yourself. Set aside a portion of
each year’s income to acquire new tools and
teachers to increase your potential. Refine
your systems, get expert coaching, attend
special conferences, cultivate a study group,
and appoint a board of advisors. You are your
only true asset. Send part of today ahead to
the person you’ll be in the future.
