How often do you hear “She always gives more than 100%”; “We need everyone to give all they can and more”? Often we hear such exclamations at a time when you feel she is or everyone is already giving as much as they can. How can we do one iota more?
Well, when you wonder how anyone can give 100% or more consider this mathematical exercise. Perhaps it will shed some light onto your understanding.
If: A=1%, B=2%, C=3% . . . .X=24%, Y=25% and Z=26%.
Then:
Knowledge = 96%
Hardwork = 98%
Attitude = 100%
Perseverance = 131%
Persistance = 129%
And don’t think that a bunch of ‘hotair’ will get you by. Hotair equals a miserly 71%.
So knowledge of what needs to be done and hardwork alone don’t put you over the top as requested. Attitude gets you to 100% and a good dose of Persistance and Perseverance take you way over the top!
The same holds true for goals and dreams. One might have the correct tools to achieve goals but without the right mindset – attitude and perseverance, for example - those goals become what they started out as, dreams.
When you stop to plan your goals, to pursue your dreams, remember that the right mindset of attitude and some perseverance allows you to give more than a 100% and takes you over the top towards successful realization!

If you have read Dr. Stephen Covey’s classic, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, you should recall his quadrant diagram that displays where we spend our time and where we should spend the important time of planning.
I came upon some interesting information form a friend of mine, Kordell Norton, in a newsletter from him. He writes, “. . . don’t START doing things but first STOP doing things.”
Interesting in that the reason we plan is to avoid or eliminate doing those things that keep us from accomplishing other things.
We are all faced with being pulled ’seven ways from Sunday’ day in and day out. Having a set of priorities for the day, the week, the quarter, the year, helps us to decide where our precious time should be spent — doing what is important and not urgent.
Now, if we weren’t doing things that interferred with doing what’s important then we wouldn’t have to plan, would we? We are already doing what we should be doing. But we get involved in doing this and that and at the end of the day, we ask, “What did I get done today? NOTHING!” That leads to being frustrated, out of control of our own destiny, being a passenger in someone else or something else’s plan.
So, the next two steps and only two steps you need to take are: 1.Stop doing what your are doing! What do you need to stop doing in order to move to the next level? The second next step is use a strategy of DREAM BIG as found in Someday Isle which is available by clicking on the button in the right column and see what might be holding you back from moving forward in 2010!
