GOALS


We hear about setting goals all the time. Most of us set goals for 2008. We all set health and fitness goals as well as other goals. One of my 2008 goals was to read at least one book per month. So far, I’m right on track. The 1st book I read was “Quiet Strength” The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of Winning in Life, by Tony Dungy. This is a great book! The 2nd one was “What it Takes to be Number One” , by Vince Lombardi and Vince Lombardi Jr. Another fantastic book. The 3rd book and the one I’m going to discuss in 212 Degrees, by S.I. Parker. We all know that water is warm at 211 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. Just one degree changes everything. If we give just a little more effort in our daily lives, we can change things in an extraordinary ways. So what does this have to do with health, fitness, training and Pro Performance? Well, a lot. Take a look at these facts:
I you choose to talk to talk to one new person per week, you could create 52 new friendships in one year.
As a parent, when you wake up each morning and realize that your children will absorb your actions, they will grow up to be contributing adults to the level of your influence. If you add an extra 15 minutes to your children each day, you will add more than 2 weeks of influence to them per year.
Invest $100.00 in greeting cards per year and send your spouse a note each week. What will a card per week do for your marriage?
At work, add one hour per week to your professional development and you’ll be in the lead, in whatever profession you’re in.
As a student, add one extra hour of study each week, and you will have added the equivalent to one full work week to your area of interest.
Eliminate one half hour of TV per day, and gain 182.5 hours per year to allocate elsewhere.
So here are a few examples of just giving just a little extra effort. I hope this will inspire you to give just a little more. If you are interested in the book 212 degrees, please visit http://www.walkthetalk.com/ I make no money from this book so this isn’t a sales deal. This is a great book!
Set goals, give a little extra effort in whatever you do and remember, NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!
