Today is a fresh chance to refocus,
To gain clarity and to fall in love,
Not with the destination but with the journey itself.
Imagine having two pairs of glasses.
One pair is for nearsightedness,
Helping you see the details up close,
The daily actions,
The small steps that make up your life,
The other pair is for farsightedness,
Allowing you to see the big picture,
The vision,
The dream,
The goal you're working towards.
Farsighted glasses are like those motivational quotes about vision and dreams,
Uplifting but sometimes distracting.
Nearsighted glasses,
They're like your daily planner,
Unexciting but essential.
Without them you would stumble over your own feet on the way to the grand vision.
So both are essential but today let's focus on those nearsighted glasses and appreciate the beauty in the steps right in front of us.
There was a time when I only wore my farsighted glasses.
I was always focused on the distant future,
The career,
Car,
The house.
I thought happiness was waiting out there but in that pursuit I missed the simple joys and growth along the way.
It was all like dining at a five-star restaurant but only thinking about the dessert.
It took me years to realize that fulfillment doesn't come from the goal itself but from savoring each step on the path.
Here's the balance.
Farsighted glasses remind us where we are headed,
The why behind our work.
But if we don't focus on today's steps we'll lose our footing.
So put on your nearsighted glasses and focus on the little things,
The effort,
The progress,
The small victories.
Success isn't just reaching the top of the mountain,
It's every step along the way.
Here's an exercise.
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath and think of your biggest goal.
Now ask yourself what can I love doing today that brings me one step closer.
Find that one small action and commit to enjoying it,
Not for the result but for the joy of doing it every single day.
And remember this mantra as you go through your day.
My actions build me,
My challenges shape me and my gratitude grounds me.
Repeat this after me.
My actions build me,
My challenges shape me and my gratitude grounds me.
Let this be your reminder.
Success is built in the moments you live with passion and purpose.
I encourage you to listen to this audio every day in the morning until this way of thinking,
Living and being becomes second nature to you.
