P.O.W. Series: Priority

, , , , , , , , , 0

Priority is defined as something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives, the things that someone cares about and thinks are more important than something or someone else and therefore coming or being dealt with first.

In our pursuit of our purpose and destiny we have many things in our lives that compete for our attention on a daily basis. It is imperative to gain control over all of the things that we give our attention to in any given day.  In order to be productive to reach our goals in pursuit of our purpose and destiny we must establish a system that helps us to Maximize Every Moment Everyday (M.E.M.E.)! Overall, we must establish a plan for our lives that includes order, Priority, and sequence to enhance our ability to manage our lives according to our vision. The written plan should include: order, in terms of categorizing, Priority, based on level of importance and urgency, and sequence, regarding phases for overall completion.

John Maxwell, has helped to shift my entire paradigm from Time Management to Priority Management. He states, “Time Management is an oxymoron.  Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives.  Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.”  We all have the same amount of time in any given day, regardless of your current condition or position in life, from the lower, middle, upper-class to the elite billionaires of the world, we all get the same 24 hours.  It is what we do with that time, that will have the greatest impact on our lives in reaching our goals for business and for life.

If you find yourself “RUNNING OUT OF TIME” each day and not meeting your goals that you set out to reach for that day, you must step back and take a look at that day.  You must reassess what alternative did you choose that outweighed (in terms of importance) the tasks you set out to complete for the day. What did you make a Priority over achieving your goals (barring all family and health emergencies)?

Here is a list of questions that you can use to help you in your assessment:

  1. How important is it to me that I fulfill my purpose and destiny?
  2. Am I intentionally pursuing my purpose and destiny with intensity and tenacity?
  3. Do I have a clear schedule in place that everyone involved in my daily life is aware of and supportive of?
  4. Do I have a strategic plan in place for my business and/or life goals? (Remember: Priorities are easy to identify when you have a plan that includes, goals, objectives, tasks and dates of completion.)
  5. How do I need to reorganize my life to Maximize Every Moment Everyday (M.E.M.E.)?

You may say, “Well Dr. J., you don’t know what is on my plate.” And I will say well let’s check your plate to see how much on there helps to propel you towards fulfilling your purpose and destiny.  It’s time to do a PLATE CHECK! Successful Priority management requires sacrifice! There are times in life that leisurely activities must be limited, inclusive of, but not limited to: television, hanging out with friends, retail therapy, or even curling up with your favorite novel, etc. While I am not here to be a taskmaster, I am here to motivate you to Prioritize and “Master Your Tasks”!

Make your Purpose a Priority! Let’s Tap Into the Power of these words to Power Up and Soar Beyond the Limits! I want to encourage you to post these words where you can see them daily as reminders. We would love to hear about the systems you have put into place that have helped you set priorities and reach your goals.  Please share in the comment section below.  If you would like to share in a vlog or FB Live interview, please let me know. Please help me to encourage others, your testimony is needed to help encourage and propel and inspire someone else to Aspire Higher and Soar Beyond the Limits in business and life to live the Abundant Life!

Transcending Horizons Blog Image - Tenacity

P.O.W. Series: Tenacity

, , , , , , , , 0

Tenacity is defined as being persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired; not easily pulled apart; and not easily stopped.

We are continuing to tap deeper into this Power of Words Series that is inspiring, empowering and giving us the right seeds to plant in our lives that will fortify and propel us into our purpose and destiny.  This blog has been on FIRE with expressing the importance of pursuing Purpose, being Intentional in our pursuit, and doing everything with Intensity!

As we delve deeper into our series, we must realize the pursuit of our purpose and destiny requires Tenacity! It requires us to be persistent with a dogged devotion to achieving our goal. We must be insistent upon producing measurable results as we progress and move forward toward our destiny. There will be times in our pursuit that some stages will take longer than others and it is during these times that we must remain patient.  It is during these times that are desire to achieve the goal may begin to fade. However, we must be Tenacious! Titus Lucretius Carus once said, “Constant dripping hollows out a stone.”.  We must understand that it is our constant chopping away at the tasks, that will fulfill the objectives, that will in time help us to achieve our goals and move us closer to our destined place.

Along the way, “life happens” and circumstances arise that present challenges, nevertheless we must be Tenacious. We must be stalwart, which means marked by outstanding strength and vigor of body, mind, and spirit. In order to be Tenacious we must be undaunted and courageous when these tribulations arise in our lives. It is important that we root, ground and fortify ourselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically, so that we can remain Tenacious.

 

There are many people, including myself, that are testaments to what it takes to remain Tenacious even through tests and trials in our lives. It is during these times, that the thought to give up and through in the towel comes to mind.  But, when you have to “get a grip”! “Get a grip” on that your goal, “get a grip” on your dream and don’t let anything pull you apart from it! You must be UNSTOPPABLE in your pursuit! THERE IS NO “THROWING IN THE TOWEL”! The only thing you need to do with the proverbial “towel” is use it to wipe your brow and keep pressing toward your Dreams! And be Tenacious About it! Remember you will WIN if you don’t quit!

We would love to hear how you remain focused and held on to your goal and your dream through the storms of life.  Please share in the comment section below.  If you would like to share in a vlog or FB Live interview, please let me know. Please help me to encourage others, your testimony, is needed to help encourage and propel and inspire someone else to Aspire Higher and Soar Beyond the Limits in business and life to live the Abundant Life!

P.O.W. Series: Intensity

, , , , , 0

Intensity is defined as having or showing a characteristic in extreme degree, marked by or expressive of great zeal, energy, determination, very strong feeling, deeply felt and concentration.

Pursue everything you do with INTENSITY! You are given breath each morning, which means you experience a new day and opportunity to pursue your purpose and destiny with intention! The fulfillment in your arrival to this destined place is contingent upon how passionate you are about living your life to it’s maximum potential designed specifically for you! You were born to manifest Greatness in the earth, so there is a responsibility you have to PURSUE your PURPOSE with INTENSITY!

You will only have what it takes to fulfill your dreams, based on how bad you actually want to LIVE YOUR DREAMS! I have 3 questions for you:

  1. ARE YOU LIVING YOUR DREAMS?
  2. DO YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS?
  3. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT LIVING YOUR DREAMS?

The answer to these questions, should IGNITE an INTENSE FIRE WITHIN YOU! There should be evidence showing in your life that you are pursing your dreams with an extreme degree of passion, zeal, and concentration.

Marcus Buckingham said, “Always work hard. INTENSITY clarifies! It creates not only momentum, but also the pressure you need to feel either friction or fulfillment.” The INTENSITY that you feel to fulfill your dreams, will create the momentum that you need to arrive at your destination. The pressure is needed, because it acts as the INTENSE flame that will keep the fire burning to create a level of friction and discomfort in your current state to drive you to the place of fulfillment.  Therefore, when people see you going after your dreams like a it’s your next breath and they ask you, “Does it really take all of that?”, respond “YES, and then some!”.

To reach your goals and fulfill your dreams, you will have to PURSUE THEM WITH INTENSITY! I WANT TO IGNITE AN INTENSE FIRE WITHIN YOU TODAY! Some people are waiting on the calendar to launch them into the NEXT LEVEL and live their Dreams. I AM IGNITED and LIT NOW! ARE YOU? Don’t let the calendar tell you what to do and when to do it!

Transcending Horizons Blog Image - Intentional

P.O.W. Series: Intentional

, , , , , , , , 0

INTENTIONAL is defined as a determination to act in a certain way, a resolve that is usually clearly formulated or planned, an aim that has meaning and significance, and have the mind, attention, or will concentrated on something or some end or purpose.

We should be careful to examine our actions and interactions. We need to ask ourselves the question, “Am I being INTENTIONAL in my daily actions and interactions and what is the end goal of every action and interaction? John Maxwell states, “When you’re intentional you can add value to everything you do  and to every person you meet.”  We should strive for EXCELLENCE in all that we do and say! Therefore, we must be INTENTIONAL in our thoughts, the words we speak, what we do and in our engagement and interactions with others.

According to Rhonda Yearwood (http://www.rhondalyearwood.com), “When we become more intentional a shift takes place and things happen. The crazy thing about being intentional is that it really isn’t that hard. We make it hard when we allow laziness, doubt, and fear to make our decisions. All of that turns into bitterness, anger and envy. We can’t hate on the next person when they move differently and are intentional about what they want in life. Start your own movement and be intentional about your purpose here.”.

Fulfilling our purpose and destiny is highly dependent upon our determination to be intentional and all we do. There are many benefits to being INTENTIONAL, here are a few:

Benefits: 

  • Decreased frustration & Increased Productivity: As we go throughout our day, most of us wake up with goals (written or unwritten) of what we plan to accomplish during that day. Most of the time if you have not written a plan of action, you will find that you did not meet your goals, thus you end your day with frustration. YOU MUST HAVE A DAILY PLAN!
  • Growth in your Character & Discipline: When we are intentional in thought, word and deed it develops and refines our overall character. We become better people, having an understanding that our behaviors affect not only ourselves, but also have an impact on others.  It also creates an increased level of discipline to monitor your intentions and reflect on and evaluate the outcomes of EVERY action and interaction.
  • Creating Connections: As we interact with others, we need to intentionally consider the outcome for ourselves and the people around us.  We can choose to be that positive light in every room by: complimenting people around us, giving kudos (no matter how big or small the accomplishment), offer your help when you see someone struggling, and being genuinely concerned about the well-being of others. Great Communication habits is KEY to creating and maintaining relationships. Whether we are communicating for business purposes or personally, we should ALWAYS BE RESPONSIVE (return calls, texts, emails, etc.), even when we are busy or unavailable we can use an “auto-response system” that will give the estimated response time. We also want to make sure that we listen, ask questions for clarification, and respond accordingly.

Being INTENTIONAL in business will require a clear formulated plan of how you will add value to your products, services, and programs. Particularly in business, it should be our priority to add value with every customer experience. What are you doing to ensure you have added value in your business? We must be INTENTIONAL to add the “WOW FACTOR” to EVERY customer interaction.

Being INTENTIONAL is not only important in our businesses, but is essential to our overall life. When you set out to do anything in life you must set your mind, will, and emotions in that direction and relentlessly pursue it, with the INTENTION to be successful! This is even true when it comes to love and family relationships, whether it is intimate, mother, father, sibling, children, friends, and coworkers. You must resolve that it is important to you to add value to your life and the lives of other on a daily basis!

The Time is NOW to reflect and examine whether or not we are living our lives with INTENTION to add value to everything we do and every person we meet. I can show you how to intentionally create value in your business and life!

Transcending Horizons Blog Image - Purpose

P.O.W. Series: Purpose

, , , , , , 0

Purpose is defined as the feeling of being determined to do or achieve something, the aim or goal of a person, and subject under discussion or an action in course of execution.

“What is my purpose?”, that is the question that we all face at a very early age.
Ms. Bertice Berry hit the nail on the head and gave us the absolute reason that it is imperative we seek to answer this question for our lives.  Not only do we need to answer it, but we need to walk in it.  It is the very reason why we were born in this earth.  We were created and custom designed to fulfill a specific purpose.  According to the definition, it is the aim or goal of a person.  If you are functioning in something other than the purpose you were born to manifest on this earth, then you are simply living to die, by never manifesting the reason why. When you walk in your purpose, you will fulfill the reason why you were born and reach your destined place. You have everything you need to fulfill your purpose.

We all have a responsibility to live a purpose-driven life.  Someone is waiting for you to operate in and walk in your purpose.  Your actions and efforts should be directly connected to your purpose. When you are pursuing your purpose, you have the passion, which is the fuel to not only keep you going, but to propel you to the next level.

Your purpose is the foundation upon which you should be building your business. Whenever anything is created it is created FOR A PURPOSE, to bring solution to a problem. Your business provides an answer to a problem.  You must make sure that the goals and objectives you perform in your business are focused and targeted ON PURPOSE, according to your vision and mission. Staying focused and walking IN PURPOSE will ensure you SOAR BEYOND THE LIMITS in business and life!
