Reality dictates future actions and outcomes.

The basics of any venture are essential.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life. Work with people you like who treat you well and forget the ones who don’t. Stay focused on the solutions, not the problems. While reality dictates, have faith in your actions. Take the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.

 “I’m very good at what I do; I’m going to start a business”. That’s great, but there is more to running a business than being technically competent. You need to start with the basics because you will never be the best if you don’t enjoy your work. However, to enjoy what you’re doing, ensure the basics are in place and remember that great things never come from comfort zones.  

This concept of a better quality of life will not become a reality unless you take the right actions to improve it. Once you have determined what caused a relapse in your quality of life, decide what replacement behaviours you want to practice. Uncover the actual quality of life by picking up the pieces.

Break your old routines.

Start today. Reality dictates when you maintain old routines. Do something different every day to break bad habits and acquire useful ones. Get out of the rut and create new pathways to your future reality. Take a different route to work, get up earlier, or do something spontaneous. Seek practical people to point out old routines that need an upgrade.

Don’t let too much of the past dictate reality.

It is so easy to dwell in the past that you can lose sight of what you are trying to accomplish for a better future.

Celebrate your successes. Don’t wait until you reach your better future by letting reality dictate. Enjoy the journey and the little victories along the way. There will be celebrations that reinforce the new reality.

Do not give up.

The beginning is always the hardest. When reality dictates, it will take time to make any significant shifts towards a better future. Remember, it is still darkest just before the dawn. It has taken you this long, so a little longer won’t matter.

Expect the right outcomes and keep working on the actions to make it happen. There are never any guarantees, only more opportunities to act. Make every day count, and remember that the small steps add up.

By helping your community, they will respond more positively and assist you in taking action.

Quotable quotes.

“First comes thought; then organisation of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of
those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your
imagination”. Napoleon Hill

“Reality dictates future actions only when you don’t focus on reality and keep doing the things which work well for you”. Peter Sergeant
