In Navy Seal training, the first task of the day is to make your bed. It was inspected and at the very least, you accomplished one task successfully. And you build on that success, continuing on course to complete other tasks. After all, if you cannot complete that first task well, how well can you do during the rest of the day? Finally, even if your day doesn’t turn out as well as you wish, at least go home to a made bed! So, how are you going to start your day? We know from the best leaders, success is based on being focused. Anyway, what I do first in the day is be joyous that I have this great day ahead of me, and then, I think of the one thing at least, (besides making my bed), that for sure I’m going to complete today.
Now the thing is, I’m sure I can think of many things I can do that are important. However, what can I focus on that is the most important. And this is how you build the best you, that is possible! Focus on one major thing and then get it done. (image in AI) (click on Title at top of blog to make/view comment)
Consider this – My Tia told me repeatedly that making my bed, eating, brushing my teeth and the other routine daily tasks may keep me occupied. However, I would not progress in life without doing something new, working on a new skill etc. In my recent years, I realize that there are so many opportunities for helping others and contributing to making their lives a bit better.
Interesting, it’s like, helping make another person’s life better is the quiet way you can measure your own success!
