Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To encourage you to dream of your future success while focusing on the present.

Let’s Get Started:

Who cares what you WILL be doing? All that matters is what you ARE doing.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s vital to create a vision for your future, but this is just talk unless you do something about it in the present. Ultimately it is the actions you take here and now that distinguishes your level of personal success.

Also keep in mind that even if you ARE doing something about getting to where you want to be, it is still being active towards where you WILL eventually be.

One good question to ask yourself is, “Am I presently taking the necessary actions to lead me to my desires or am I straying away from them?”

If you notice yourself moving further from your goals, stop and evaluate what you are doing. Perhaps you became distracted from your original intentions and just need to get back on track.
