Many people were saddened by the death of Kobe Bryant. He definitely had some amazing skills and success as a basketball player. One of the things that impressed me was that he truly had an influence on those around him and his family. What he brought to the game was a focus that helped him succeed. This quote by Kobe would exemplify his success. “if your habits do not reflect your dreams or goals, change your habits.” Looking at his success do you think habits are important? Habits keep have the potential to keep you on track. Without habits our lives can drift off course.
How do you reduce the chance of drifting off course?
We are almost 2 months into the new year and many people have abandoned their goals or are making changes to them because things are getting harder or they have experienced some challenges. Things have gotten in the way as well as there were things that came up that you might not have anticipated. It’s not too late! Take the time to refocus and regain the right trajectory because it is the trajectory or the system that will carry you to your destination.
Some of the challenge in drifting off course is your mindset. When things get hard you may tend to get down on yourself or you may only see the challenges. I have been in that place in the past partly because I did not have the experience to get out of that place and partly because I was trying to do everything on my own. I believe it is important to have goals and to try to accomplish more that you feel you are capable of, but this requires work. There are three areas that you should concentrate on to reduce the drift in your life or business.
“if your habits do not reflect your dreams or goals, change your habits.”
― Kobe Bryant

Leadership is a hard journey. One that should not be done alone. Let me quote Kobe Bryant again and say that “if your habits do not reflect your dreams or goals, change your habits.” I know you have big goals and dreams. Let’s see how you can make them become a reality!
