Line of Sight

Once you’ve lived a while and had some success, you get to pause and look back at what brought you to today.

It’s really easy to say ‘That decision I made was brilliant’, and take credit for all you have and have done.

What it harder, is realizing you didn’t know the future back then, and while all your hard work resulted in a whole bunch of reasons for your success, you just as easily could have made a completely different choice.  That choice could have taken you down a path and resulted in a totally different situation, a totally different life, and a totally different you.

So that line of sight can be an indicator that what you did at the time was correct, and you have to realize that some of it was just plain dumb luck.  Something aligned with your intention that made this successful.  Now don’t get me wrong, there is grace, there is divine intervention, or the matrix.  Whatever you believe in, but one thing is sure, you had a vision and you got there.

The important thing is while you know you got there, you didn’t necessarily have a clear line of sight as to how you were going to get there.  What exactly you would do to make that happen on Tuesday at 10:10 AM six months from now.  As you got closer you did, but not today.

You can influence your outcomes tomorrow by choosing to spend the time doing activities that are related to your goals.  You can have line of sight on the next thing, the next day, the next two weeks even.  And you have to pivot.

How you spend your day today indicates what your future holds for you.  There is a direct line of sight between the time spent, and the results achieved.  It really is so simple, and yet so hard.

So think about where you want to go.  Have a vision for what that looks like.  Use all the tools at your disposal, and then take relentless action to get there.

It’ll be fun!
