If you don’t define the priorities for your life, someone else will and when your life is over the regrets will come. Your beliefs should drive your behavior or in reality it was not a belief at all just a feeling. This post by Kate Dixon was very helpful to me:
“Peak performance is no accident. It requires not only hard work, but preparation, focus and intention. The high-performing leaders I work with use these five techniques to be at their very best.
1. Clarify your goals.
When you’re aiming for peak performance, the first step is to make sure you’re really clear about what it is you’re hoping to achieve. As the saying goes, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” Goals like, “Be a top performer” or “Sell more products” sound good, but lack the specifics you need to take action on them. And you’re missing out if you focus only on what you want to do — make sure you’re crystal clear on what your customers (and your boss) need, want and expect.”
