The word “enable” has been resonating with me for the past few months. Now, before I take an action, I question if my actions would empower me to take a step forward, backwards, or merely stand still. At this point, I want to keep moving forward; further into my destiny.
Typically, around the fourth quarter of the year, I start setting goals for the new year. However, for me to increase my probability of achieving those goals I must empower and equip myself to do it. So, for every goal I write down, I follow-up on them by asking myself …
• What are you doing to enable yourself to achieve the goal you set forth?
• How are you empowering yourself to bring your vision to fruition?
• What do you need to allow, or equip yourself with, to make it happen?
If I can’t give an answer to the questions above, I’m not serious about achieving the goal. I figure giving myself goals without giving myself the means or authority to achieve them, is simply giving myself words on paper to read rather than goals to exceed.
