Enjoy Life Podcast w/ Nick Maizy: Live Your Best Life

Get Back Up!

Of course, you want to get back up. Never stay knocked down. There will always be challenges and setbacks.

Unexpected things happen all the time and they may throw you off track of your goals. When they do Get Back Up. But, before you just right back into doing what you were doing, think if there is a better way.

Success requires persistence. If you just give up, you won’t get anywhere. At the same time, dumb persistence probably won’t get you very far either. If I keep running at my goal and keep running into the same brick wall, then it may be time to try to find a door or a different way.

Commit to your goal and not giving until you achieved it.

Commit to learning and improving as you pursue your goal. You don’t have to change your ultimate goal to change the path to get there.

Commit to making the changes needed to achieve you goal.

What challenges have you faced while pursuing your goal? Setbacks? 

What can you learn from them?

How can you adjust or change to keep moving forward?

I heard it once said that your priority is what you’re doing right now. Not what you say is your priority. But, what you do is your actual priority. Some may say that you can’t always be working on the big priorities in life. Sometimes you have to work on the smalling things. Well, that is true. Of course, it is okay to focus on the smaller tasks when needed.

If you say or want your priority to be one thing, but your actions say something different, then it may be time to change.

At the end of the day it’s what you do that counts. If your priority is your family, but you don’t spend any time with them or you don’t spend any of your effort or attention on your family, then are they really a priority?

You actions show what is important to you. Make sure they match what you want your priority to be for your life.

No one else is responsible for what you do, achieve, experience, accomplish, anything. It is you who is responsible.

You have goals. There are things you want to accomplish. What you choose to do or not do will determine what you achieve or do not achieve.

It is not your mom, dad, brother, sister, friend, anyone else who will achieve your goals for you. It’s no one else.

Don’t be discouraged. Your success being up to you is a great thing. It is a wonderful thing.

There have been plenty of people with nothing at all that rose up, worked hard, persisted through the challenges, and hit their huge goals. That means you can too. It’s possible for you to do great things.

When your goal rests on your shoulders, you have the power. Your goals are more important to you than anyone else. They are your goals. Own them. And strive for them. Follow the example set by all those with far less that achieve their goals.

The journey to the big goal you want to accomplish can be tough and maybe not so fun. It will probably take a lot of hard work and persistence. You’ll probably have to keep taking steps forward even when you don’t feel like it. There may be a time when you feel like quitting and giving up.

There is one thing that many people ignore when it comes to achieving goals and it just may help you. I know that it helps me when I take the time to use it. What is it you ask?

There is a lot of power in having fun, enjoying yourself, and simply having a good time.

Often, people see the journey to their goals as a long hard road they must endure and enjoyment will only come at the end. The road can be difficult. But, it doesn’t need to miserable.

If you’re intentional about what you do, you may even be able to enjoy the journey to goals.

Keep taking steps toward your goal. Just remember along the way to do things that you enjoy. When you do those things, be present, enjoy them, think about enjoying them.

Don’t steal from your enjoyment by thinking about the hard work to get your goal while you’re trying to have fun. No.

Work when it’s time to work. Play when it’s time to play.
