Time & Money. Sonja Becker

view right and prove that other interpretations are wrong.

      Stop making excuses. Let your results speak for you. Allow your mind to concoct all the reasons explaining why you have yet to reach your goals. Acknowledge those ideas, and then let them float by. None of them hold any clue to your effectiveness. Train your attention to watch the outcomes you produce.

      Assess your cash flow and your intimacy every day. Both are dependable barometers of your aliveness. If you are doing without these essential qualities, you are probably frozen in your mental interpretation of life.

      Clarity comes from observing the outcomes of your actions. Every experience either provides additional energy or robs you of it. The rest is just explanation or justification. When you truly learn something, your vitality increases. Your mind may react with confusion. That just means you are entering new territory. Often when your plans go awry and your whole life is collapsing, you will catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror with eyes as bright as fire.

      Contemplation is a technique of relaxing while considering many possibilities and perspectives. By remaining calm, you can accept all possible outcomes emotionally. Once your mind is clear, a clear mission begins to emerge.

      THE MISSION STATEMENT

      Your mission requires a plan, just as a journey requires a map. The details may be fuzzy at this stage of business, so don’t worry about getting a business plan together yet. Just start with a simple mission statement that communicates to other people what your career means to you. Write your aim in a few simple sentences so that potential associates can evaluate your intention. What will your project or business deliver to other people? How will you achieve your purpose? Why would others be inspired to assist you? Be sure to put your aim in positive terms.
