Hi.
If goal setting is your cup of tea then I urge you to listen up. There can at times, be too much on your plate, I know. Focusing instead on high impact generators will provide you with personal satisfaction and bonus.
Imagine if you can, having a short list or reminder, of what is essential to give your day “maximum impact” ….. so that you can free up your time to do the ‘other stuff’ on your daily agenda. Not a long list of ‘To do’s’ but more a short list of ‘Must do’s’.
List is the wrong word and I admit to being wary of “lists”. In fact, You and I are talking goals. Real, practical and essential. Not extravagant. Simple and effective. Small in scale but Big in impact.
Here’s three [3] that will set you up for a fantastic day, every day.
Don’t worry unless it’s personal …
The worry factor often gets turned up a notch too far. Much too far. You worry about stuff that isn’t worth worrying about. Why?
“Worry” is time consuming. It’s holding you back. It’s unnecessary, most of the time. “Do” instead of “worry” is the mantra that I want for you. Try not to stumble with the ‘finer detail’. Your work/Art is meant to be put out there. Put it out, don’t worry what others may or may not think.
There will however be times of worry … Family, friends. This is natural and respectful. Take the time to heal in these circumstances.
Otherwise, do the important stuff don’t worry about other stuff.
Be Do better than the day before …
What a great little goal. A daily benchmark. I’m not talking about plotting a chart of achievement on your living room wall or wherever you put your charts. It’s more like a feeling. A tangible feeling. A ‘knowing’ that the day that came before was good and today will be even better and tomorrow and so on. Stretch … just a little, every day.
Have at least One Meaningful conversation …
Nourishment for your soul. Peeling back the surface layers of casual connect. Learning. Listening. Understanding. This is stimulation for your senses. There is so much cyber connect and less human interact on a true connecting basis. Having a goal of at least one Meaningful connect per day will keep you grounded, rounded and real. And when you are real then you are having an impact.
This post is another part of a series of blog postings called “Life as You live it” .They are designed to be short, sweet, to the point and provide you with hopefully … plenty of food for thought. I hope that you enjoyed.

Making Your 40’s & 50’s Shine
Hi David,
Life does involve a lot of thinking,planning,conjecture,wishing,desiring,projecting and realigning.
All these activities are directed at the future.It is a fact that no living being has been able better it’s past.It’s always the future ,and the present that is available for improving.Yet we find ourselves caught in a tango with the past.Worry is essentially rooted in the past.It is a subtle projection of the past disturbance on the future.It is a connection between a disturbance in the past with another likely one in the future.
That is why i appreciate your urging to do better than the past.It is actually cathartic ,healing and emancipating.
Thanks
Mona
