Looking Out for #1: How to Get from Where You Are Now to Where You Want to Be in Life

=====================================

by Bob Schwarztrauber

I stepped on the scale this morning and the needle indicated 162 pounds. Same as yesterday. Same as last week. Same as last month.

This number would make many people very happy. Even many people my 5’9″ height.

But the flab between my chest and groin would indicate 150 pounds would be a better number. My doctor agrees.

You want to know why I can’t lose weight? Maybe why you can’t too. Or maybe there is some other change you’d like to have happen to you, but it’s not.

Here’s why. It’s quite likely you haven’t changed what you’re doing. Same actions, same results.

I know it’s true for me. Oh, I’ll skip the odd snack, or have a salad occasionally, and I’ll take a walk some days, or exercise a few days some weeks, but the kind of regular, continuous, habitual change I need to make to see results I have not made. And so my weight remains the same.

Same actions = Same results.

I never have trouble writing  though. Many do. Maybe you do too.

I suggest you set a conscious, unbreakable commitment, that is, write down the exact time and amount of time when you are going to write, undisturbed each day, every day, and make it a part of your life. At least until your book is done.

When you make it a priority, it gets done. Change happens. That’s how I got started in writing. That’s how I’ve come to begin and finish more than two dozen books in less than 5 years.

You work on that. Set an appointment for yourself, a goal for writing. Do that one thing and your book will get done, and much sooner than you ever thought. That’s why I included a plan you can use for writing in my book, Book Writing Magic.

I’m off now to trade this delicious looking jelly donut for a pair of scrambled eggs. I’ll see you tomorrow.
