YOUR LIFE A-Z: OFFENSE

PREPARATION FOR WINTERY DAYS IS THE BEST WAY TO LIVE ON THE OFFENSE

OFFENSE

To live your best life is important to have a plan of “OFFENSE” and of course a defensive plan as well.  NAIGATION requires and offensive plan.  Being the KINGFISH of your life is to live a plan of offense.  What do you want? When do you want it? What is the best wayto achieve it?  What resources do you need to achieve it?  Whom are you going to choose to be on your team?  Cut negative people from the team or at least bench them.  Acquire the best teammates that you can.  For instance, if one of your goals is to go back to college then who are the people that are going to be there to cheer you on?  Who is going to listen to you when you complain about a class or working while going to school?  Is that person going to be helpful by reminding you that this is not going to be forever?  Get out your pen and paper and write yourbig goal at the top of the page.  Next, answer each of the above questions with a list of 3-5 actions steps.  Being on the OFFENSE in our lives puts money in our savings account for emergencies such as flat tires or an unexpected hospital stay.  Being on the offense helps us making healthy food and exercise choices because we have bought into the fact that we must invest in our health.  Being on the OFFENSE plans vacations in order to keep motivated and break up daily monotony.  Live your life on the OFFENSE. 

Your Life A-Z GO

GO! The Sky is Your Limit. 

GO

Go is an action word.  Go after it - as in, fetch it from yesterday.  However, did you know that GO is also a game, a very ancient Asian game?   It is a game of black and white round stones with simple rules that allows its players to enter a meditative state of focus.  It is often said that you will not get where you are going unless you focus on where and how to get there.  Where are you going this year?  How are you going to achieve your desired goal?  See, if I had chosen the word "goal" for the first “G” word of the year, you could have easily felt burdened.  “Oh my, do I really have to work so hard at this?”  So, I chose a playful word again.  “Go,” literally means don’t stay.  Move.  Get up.  Change your position.  Go.  Get on your mark, get set, and go!  Go forward now. Take another step toward your goal.
