The Second Book The 46th Chapter - Achieve More Than Before

Aug 30/17

Have you ever worked on a goal and completed that goal but felt you could have done more?  Did you feel if you put in a little more effort at the time your results would have been better and more importantly the value of that experience could have been higher for you?

I think all of us can think back to an experience, a moment, project or interview where we could have done better.  I would like to share a story of my weekly running routine and the importance of pushing forward after a setback.  My running time for me had been improving for 2 years to the point I was very happy with my performance.  Then I had an ankle injury and my performance took a drastic step backwards.  So the initial success of my performance increased relatively easy and I saw improvement most days on my time.

After my injury and trying to improve again seemed like more of a struggle for me this time.  I went weeks of showing little to no improvement.  It was during these weeks the desire to quit running was higher than I experienced in the past.  I knew I could do better however for whatever reason my body would not perform like it used too. 

I know I could achieve more but wasn't getting the results I was used to prior to my injury.  I refused to give into the temptation of quitting, I refused to let all of what I worked so hard for slip away, like grains of sand in a hour glass.  With greater determination I pushed myself harder as I knew with each step I took, I had a little more to give.  From that starting point in my mind of wanting to dig deeper, the results started to improve.

That is all it takes on your own goals completion is to push just a little harder with each step.  To increase just a small amount per step in your daily results, will end up in a large gain overall.  With each focus of increasing your value at what your currently doing you will achieve more than you did before.

I can think of no better sense of satisfaction when you know you dug deeper and achieved your results you desired.  These intangible gifts that you provide yourself, that no else can, are what will carry you to your destination for you.  Statements you tell yourself I tried my best and you know you could have done better, no one else will know, but you will.  The more you tell yourself these untrue statements the more you will not be able to succeed in your goals.

The more you can drill down to your core at being honest with yourself is when magic will happen.  This magic is the secret ingredient which unlocks your passion.  Move yourself in a way that enables you to achieve more than you did before and this will add to your self-confidence of you.
