One day she was asked to make a list of three. Unplanned assignment. Thought required. Time was limited for the response. The gut answered.
The list boiled down to three simple words.
Commitment.
Consistency.
Prioritizing.
Each can be applied to life and self daily. Committing to self. Committing to goals. Consistently working on self. Consistently working towards goals. Prioritizing what is important to self. Prioritizing life to mesh with all of the above.
At times these three words can work for you. At times these words can work against you, if you let them. Perspective is important in life. Everyone has their own perspective or view. Sometimes we need to show others a new perspective to foster growth. Sometimes no effort is needed as your modeling of those three words show themselves in life.
If you had a list of three words what would they be? Why would your gut spit those words out? What do they mean to you?
For her, it seems she is hyper-focused on her short term goals. These require commitment, consistency and prioritization daily. I do believe that is why her gut answered with these three words. However these words have depth. They go beyond her initial short term goals. Rather they are staples in her every day life.
Sometimes she may get off track in life and need to refocus. Realign priorities. Recommit to something. Practice consistently doing what needs to be done to achieve a, b and c.
Life.
Words.
Actions.
In life she chooses words that have actions. She chooses actions that have meanings to her. She also take actions without hesitation. Sometimes she may stumble. Sometimes she may shine. Either way she is writing her story and living it each day. Some days you get an up front seat. Some days you don't.
I am her.
My action words for the purpose of this post are undoubtedly:
Commitment.
Consistency.
Prioritizing.
As I close out this post I can say each of these action words are helping me reach my next milestone. Where will your three words take you?
