Keep on keepin’ on…

“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving forward. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” ~ Conrad Hilton

So we are one week into the new year and I must ask you; how are you doing with your New Year’s resolution(s)?  Hopefully you recall my January 1st blog about setting and achieving BHAG’S (Big Hairy Audacious Goals-from Built to Last, Porras and Collins), one year at a time.

The quote above, by Conrad Hilton, is a quote that hangs on my computer in my home office as it reminds me of the most important ingredient (next to God) in the success formula.  And that is to keep moving forward and don’t quit.

All things considered; if you are working the P.E.A.C.E acronym (e.g. with the help of God, you have a Plan, coupled with the willingness to put forth the right Effort and Attitude combined with drawing strength from the Community of people around you all while doing things that give your body Energy you will have a great chance of succeeding at achieving your BHAG’S and/or getting your house in order.

The question is, what happens when you have a bad day or two?  What happens when you fall off the wagon?  What happens when things aren’t going your way?  What happens when the attitude goes south or the effort is just not there?  What happens when you have a day or two of eating or spending “wrong?”  What happens when you get sucked into comparing yourself to others and you become derailed?  What happens when the spirit to keep moving forward begins to grow weak?  What happens when you begin second-guessing your dream?

…what happens?

If you are committed to achieving your BHAG(S), you simply need to keep moving forward with a commitment to do the next right thing with a refusal to give up…it works…I write from experience.

P.E.A.C.E.

Romans 5:3-4. “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
