Are you living a life of regret?

Your future can and should be bigger and brighter than your past. In my Coaching Tip today I’m talking about living a life of discipline rather than regret. But in order to do the things you want most to do in your life, and to become the kind of person you want to be, you have to know what that looks like.

First, you need to be financially secure and that takes planning. Balancing assets and liabilities is more important than profit and loss. Most people tend to raise their expenses to meet their revenue, but you need to be investing in valuable assets and really thinking about what you spend. Wealth is not just about having money, it’s more about what you do with your money and the short term decisions you make that impact your long term reality.

Health is the next key consistency, because if you lose your health you have nothing. Staying fit is easier than getting fit, and getting fit is much harder the older you are. Maintaining fitness and energy is crucial in your life and your business, and doing the things that keep you performing at your best is a decision you make every day.

Discipline is about knowing where you want to go in life and setting a path to take you there. Too many people never think about how their lives should look in 20 years, and then they end up someplace they don’t want to be and wish they had done better. People also let daily obstacles or trigger events from the past affect their lives in negative ways. You can take charge of your outcomes by setting some simple rules for yourself now around finances, health, knowledge and capabilities.

Really start to think about the time you have and the time that’s passing, especially at the incredibly fast pace we live in today. Realize your time on the grid determines the off-grid time you get for yourself. Your future will be bigger than your past if you make it that way through making good decisions and living a life of discipline.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Coaching Tip, and I look forward to seeing you here again next week.
