Success, world-class health, internal fulfillment and sustained happiness don't just happen. These elements of your best life are created.
All too often we look at a human being playing their best game on the playing field of life and assume they got lucky or were born into their lofty condition. What we don't see is all the devotion and discipline that went into crafting the extraordinary results we see.
What I'm suggesting is that personal and professional greatness takes work. I'm not someone who would ever tell you that you could get to your dreams without having to make some sacrifices and pay the price in terms of dedication and self-control.
The best amongst us make it all look so easy. It is called the Swan Effect - elite performers make personal excellence look effortless and seem to make things happen as gracefully as a swan moves along the water. But like the swan, what you don't get to see is all the hard-work taking place below the surface.
The best way to create spectacular results in the most important areas of your life is through daily practice. First you have to make a plan for everyday when you wake up or after your breakfast. Then practice this method of planning the day and stick to the plan. There can be situation where we should deviate from our initial plan. But the important thing is that we have a plan to execute. Then you don't need to go after the success. Instead it will come after you.
