Hey Shoremates!

Welcome to Activate Your Brain: How Understanding Your Brain Can Improve Your Work — and your life by Scott G. Halford

Action Items

1. What is the no kidding, honest to goodness definition of success for you in your life?  Try to be as specific as possible. From here, ask yourself how much it would realistically cost to have that, and I encourage you to be creative here.  For example, if a goal is to have a beach house, one thing you may do is ask yourself how much time you would spend there, get a condo, and rent it out for the times you’re not there.  After you’re done with this, ask yourself what actions you need to take this year, this quarter, this month, and this day in order for it to happen. Shoremates, this will take time if you’re being truthful with yourself, but I guarantee the amount of clarity and freedom you’ll feel from identifying it and moving towards it are worthy every second of your time.
2. If you have a partner, or are in a relationship, ask them to do the exact same thing.  One way that bitterness may rise in relationships or marriages is if one of the partners feels like they’re sacrificing their dreams for the other partner.  By being clear with each other, you’ll be able to brainstorm how both dreams are compatible, which will help strengthen your relationship. 
3. What is one new thing you resolve to try today and this week to help you get closer to your goal that you came up with in action item number 1. 

Always, Always Remember,

You've got this!
