Chris Errington’s latest article is a must read and touches on true performance, accountability, and goal setting.
Chris writes that you need to not only demand more from life but it is also imperative you demand more from yourself.
Chris goes on to suggest that we should set our goals higher than we can achieve. Depending on your mindset, you may disagree with this notion but I personally couldn't agree more with Chris!
A few months ago I was subjected to a speech from a self-proclaimed motivational speaker. This gentleman proceeds to tell the room that setting goals too high is not realistic and that if the goal isn't achievable it’s just a dream! Hearing this I couldn't help but think that this is a recipe for mediocrity and disaster!
Take a moment and think about the greatest performances that you have ever witnessed. Do you think they were the result of what society deemed to be safe, realistic goal setting? Do you think it was the result of someone giving average energy and effort? Moreover, imagine a world where all goals were based upon what we perceived to be achievable at that very moment…
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be average! I will set the bar high! I will put in the energy and effort to make my dreams a reality! I will demand more from life, and myself!
