Gearing up for a new school year? It is about this time you may be thinking about how this year will be better than they last. It is a challenge and sometimes a downright struggle to get into routines that require a bit of ”work.” even when we know that they deliver great results! To make these good routines stick, you must keep at it, be persistent and FOCUS on the outcome. Doing the assignments even when you don’t feel like it or when you don’t think you can takes willpower and resolve – both of which are choices you make and perspectives you choose to take. Not liking something is a very poor excuse for not doing the task that needs doing. Success is then a habit based on consistently good choices. If you haven’t made the good choices in the past (or didn’t need to for whatever reason), you know what to do!
”If it is to be, it is up to me”
