Searching for that magic bullet? The perfect program, tool, or framework that will finally help us achieve our goals. What if the secret to success isn’t out there but within?
As Zig Ziglar once said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” The same goes for any solution you choose.
A study by the University of Scranton found that only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions. The reason? Lack of consistent action.
The best program is the one you use. The most effective strategy is the one you execute consistently. Membership is useful when used. As Seth Godin puts it, “The only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.”
It’s rather simple. The issue is rarely the tool but the users who interact with it. If the results you want are important, you need to apply them repeatedly. Ask any of those who have attained greatness. There were many days when it felt difficult, hard, and even painful to do what they knew was necessary; however, it worked.
Define your priority, select the application that can help you, and then apply. You now have the answer to all the best programs you will ever need.
