When the days blend into the months, how can you keep anything straight?

Goals can become dismantled to the point where you have none you recognize. As far as your dreams, that too becomes threatened.

You want to rise into your day in a way that energizes you! However, you don’t want to go so fast that you lose momentum due to exhaustion and excuses.

So grow at a pace, not a race!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Grow at a pace, not a race!

You want to pace yourself in life. Getting everything done at one time not only will exhaust you, but it can bury you to the point of you not being able to enjoy what life has to offer. God does have big plans for your life.

So don’t run anywhere and everywhere. Stay close to your goals and dreams as you grow at a pace, not a race.

1. CALIBRATE your steps. Plan and prepare are essential to setting your pace that is reasonable for the season you are in. Rafael Nadal, the men’s champion for Roland Garros 2022, did just that. He took time off from playing some valued grand slams. Fans and critics alike questioned if he was just making excuses or retiring without saying so. Then they would dissect his health issues. Talk about someone in the spotlight. But he focused on what was best for him. And look at him now. Champion for both the Australian Open and Roland Garros. Pretty incredible!!!
2. DEFINE what you want your journey to look like. You have got to understand that life has twists and turns. However, you are on the ride of those twists and turns. Don’t let anyone talk you out of or into something that is not for you. You get to pave a way for your journey of greatness. Again, Nadal knew that tennis is his life now, but that’s not how it will be forever. He has to care for his body and live the life he wants his way.
3. BUILD consistency daily. “One step at a time leads to miles of greatness.” ~ Kristianne Wargo  And those steps need to come on a daily basis. They don’t have to be perfect or completely succinct. “Building consistency develops a rhythm for your goals and dreams.” ~ Kristianne Wargo

Your journey of greatness starts each and every day. You get to wake up and direct your way.

Rafael Nadal is living his dream. Yet, he has more goals set to accomplish. So how can you live your dream like Nadal?

And remember, it’s not about fame and fortune, and being the best of everyone. It’s about challenging yourself to become your best selfie!

CHALLENGE: What do you need to focus on, change, or add to your daily routine that will spearhead your journey of greatness?
