Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the
natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals. -Jim Rohn
A champion doesn't become a champion in the ring, he's merely
recognized in the ring. His “becoming” happens during his daily routine. - Joe
Louis
Jack
Nicklaus was known for his pre-shot routine, which included setting up his shot,
establishing his stance, looking at the target and then swinging the golf club. Why is this important? His consistency was tracked at a golf
tournament to a second or less of variance on every shot he took. No matter what happened, he maintained
consistency and it helped him become one of the best golfers of all time. However, other golfers did not have the same discipline
and consistency in their routine. They
would get frustrated and speed up their routine, which would cause various
issues when they swung their golf club.
What
does Jack Nicklaus teach us? Consistency
is key!
As
the author has discussed her “5” things she does each day, she has learned a
few things:
·
Be Intentional - Do the same actions at the same
time every day. By being intentional,
the author will not be delayed or hindered from accomplishing her daily
routine. If she does not complete
something during her morning time, many times the author will not go back and
complete that part of her routine later in the day.
·
Focus – Each day, it is the decision of the author
to have personal growth. She focuses on
the areas that are important for accomplishing her goals and dreams and is
consistently moving on the bridge toward her dreams and goals.
·
Accomplishment - By completing the “5” early in
the morning, the author puts herself first.
Additionally, accomplishing things early in the day sets the author up
with a growth mindset and she continues this throughout her day.
Once the daily routine is complete, the rest of
the day is free to do whatever the author desires.
Routine is not a prison but the way to freedom from time. – Mary
Sarton
ACTION: Do you
have a daily routine for personal growth?
If not, create one. If you do
have one, are there any changes you need to make as we get into full swing in
2021 to accomplish your goals and dreams?
