Know When to Adjust . . . . Your Action Steps

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached,

don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”

Confucius 551 BC – 475 BC, Chinese Teacher,

Editor, Politician, Philosopher

   

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Know when to adjust . . . . your action steps

 

There will be times on your success journey that it becomes clear that you’re not going to reach your goals . . . .  doing what your doing.

 

This is not a time . . . . to quit on yourself . . . . or on your goals.

 

It becomes a time that you have to adjust. Take a realistic look at your strategies . . . . the actions steps that you have been taking to achieve your goals. Make sure both your strategies . . . . and your action steps . . . . are pointing you into the direction of your goals. 

 

When you’re committed to your goals . . . . and you have the passion to achieve them . . . . don’t quit. Focus on what you have to do to achieve your goals. Make the positive adjustments that are required to get you back on track . . . . and to regain the forward momentum to achieve your goals.

 

Success and achieving your goals . . . . is not sprint to a finish line. It’s far more like a marathon  . . . . to where the winner has to have the endurance to not only finish . . . The winner has to adjust along the way to the conditions that they find themselves in.

 

Stays focused on the big picture and Know when to adjust . . . . your action steps to achieve your goals. Your adjustments will make a big difference on the direction of your success journey . . . . and the results you achieve.

Good morning Lou -  I like the differentiation between goals and action steps.  If you have passion you will achieve them but you might need to make modifications along the way.

Adjust is a must for any type of success! Success isn't as easy as it looks but when you don't give up, that's when it matters the most.
