Going for big goals in life can seem like you need to shoot for the stars to get what you want. It’s easier than that.

The big stuff in life can seem overwhelming. But it’s only a series of small accomplishments that add up to success.

I like to think of reach goals as pole vaulting – a sport where winning doesn’t require you to soar to new heights. As you run toward your dreams, keeping your eye on the prize, you only have to clear the bar to succeed.

Clear the bar by a little every day, and you’ll be thrilled by how high you will fly.

The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the people with whom you spend most of your time.

They are influencers, but here’s the rub.

Most folks spend their days influenced by others. Worse, they do it without giving permission or even paying attention.

Are you happy, fit, motivated, prosperous, and living large? I bet you are hanging out with folks who are the same. If not, you’re not.

What’s the quickest, easiest, and most fun way for you to change your world?

Find a few new friends, co-workers, and yes, family members who are living the life you desire. Don’t focus on what you feel you’re losing. Once you begin meeting new folks, you’ll forget about the way your life used to be.
