At this time of the year, each day the calendar is adding 2+ minutes of daylight.  In the winter months, that can be such a refreshing bit of news. 

Daylight to me is the gold standard for spring, summer and fall when I can elongate the days, stay outside in my beloved garden and finish the day late in the evening still with a bit of “light” left in the day. 

Plants, people, animals all need the light.  My puppy adores sitting in a sunbeam on a pillow in the lazy morning sun.  Sometimes I join her because the light just feels good.  The sunlight just seeps right through me to my bones.

Each day we get to have 2+ more minutes of light in our day. 

What if we treated our goals that way?  Each day we added just a bit more polish to the ideas and results we want to produce.  What if we did not treat our goals like they were gigantic obstacles needing to be done now, but easily prepared and designed a simple system of doing good work each day?

Goals can be somewhat overwhelming even if they are just what we need to accomplish.  I always have a wonderful strategy for increasing my sales; providing better and deeper service for my clients; learning new material so I can incorporate it all into the content I produce for my books, articles, TV appearances, radio interviews, keynotes with associations etc.  It all makes sense to learn more and offer more.

It is how we do that I think that produces the quality of our lives.  I am going to take a clue from the daylight.  Instead of attacking my goals like there are enemies to be overcome, I am going to visit with my goals; cherish them and feel empowered by them a bit at a time.

My former business consultant/coach built his very successful reputation and practice based on completing his 3 most important goals each day.  Judging from his success, that is a great concept we all could adopt. 

As I was writing this note to you, I’ve decided to prioritize my next day with the 3 top most important items I need to get done.  It feels better already. 

Daylight increasing.  Designing our goals to create confidence, pleasure and terrific results without feeling overwhelmed. 

You know what, I like this.  To our success!
