Habit 3: Put First Things First
Don’t feel as if you are out of the ordinary if you struggle with this. Many people do. Many times, thinking about what your “first things” are can help move you along the path. Keeping your first things in mind, respond to the following questions:
Do you really want to pursue and follow your purpose? If so, why? If not, why not?
What is and isn’t working in your life?
What do you want to change about your life?
Before you become overwhelmed, list some small changes you can make right now instead of trying to take on everything at once.
Now that you’ve written down some of the “right now” things you can do, create several realistic, long-term goals and strategies that will move you forward on your journey. You may want to refer back to your goals from Habit 2.
How are you going to hold yourself accountable for following through on your goals and strategies?
Remember to listen to your inner voice to guide you along the path. Forget about what others think of your desire to change. Believe that anything is possible when you’re “on purpose.” Realize that everything happens for a reason when it is supposed to happen, but it’s up to you to make it or break it!
