I hope you think enough of yourself to be accountable to you because you deserve what you desire.
However, that isn’t always the case.
Or it starts out that way, but you are just a softy and you let yourself slide.
You tell yourself, “One cookie won’t hurt” or “I deserve to sleep in once in a while.”
Our human nature provides us with a slippery slope when the newness of something wears off or life starts to set in with its own demands.
Example:
People are like water that flows down the path of least resistance.
Talk to any disciplined person who commits to action every day without fail, like a runner or martial artist.
Ask them whether they feel like getting up every
morning at 5 a.m. to run, despite the cold, rain or oppressive heat.
Ask a new mother whether she bounces out of bed at 2 in the morning because she wants to or because she is accountable to a little baby who depends on her getting up.
We all need to be accountable – to someone or something.
That is why coaching has become such an important element in so many people’s success.
Because everyone needs to be accountable to someone –
and a coach is someone who is objective, non-judgmental and cares about you and your goals.
When the going gets tough, a coach helps you escape
your box and build a strategy that is realistic and attainable, while helping you stretch beyond your comfort zone.
A coach will call you on things when you give in or create excuses, and encourage you to be (and do) your very
best.
Bottom line, a coach will help you discover the strength that’s always been inside of you.
Action Step:
Design your success and build it, and be accountable… find a coach —
Someone you trust and has faith in you — to give you a kick in the fanny when it’s warranted.
