If you fight to survive, you will win the fight and you will survive. If you fight to succeed, you will win the fight and you will succeed. You just have to fight. You have to be committed enough to the end result to battle through everything that comes at you.
I have been committed to making sure I had enough food on the table, to having my bills paid. I have been committed to having enough gas in the tank to get me to the next pay cheque.
-It totally works!
have survived that way for years. Sometimes there would be financial emergencies that get in my way. I fought hard to get around them. I always was working an angle to get where I needed to be: at the next pay cheque.
Name Tag Talk will document my change from Fighting to Survive to Fighting to Succeed.
What will that look like?
1.) It will take me knowing that no matter what happens, I must know that survival will be put on auto pilot. I have been doing it for long enough that I should know the steps in my sleep.
2.) Once that is complete, I will have to define what "Success" is to me. It is so different for everyone that the word itself is meaningless.
3.) Once Success is defined, I will need to brainstorm what the "battlefields" are that I will have to vanquish in order to win said success.
4.) Work the battles one by one and put them on auto pilot.
In order to do this, I will have to work very slow at each step moving it ahead one step at a time. The Red Bucket has taught me that there is no better way to change than slowly. Like cooking a marshmallow over the fire, if you roast it slow like my Mom does, it tastes caramelized. Stick it in the fire and it burns (then you have to eat off the burned shell and start again)
