I consume every helpful resource that assists me in achieving each of my hand-written, carefully thought-out goals to the best of my ability and within a reasonable time frame. Doing this allows me to excel in my passion of helping people realize their dreams.
Your directional statement should be clear on two things:
• What you are doing now with your life to achieve more.
• Your passion.
These two things will help you become better at identifying your strengths, communicating to others what your best strengths are, and learning to work within your strengths. Once you know what you want to do and what to do to get there, you will be better equipped to impact more people. I hope the example of my directional statement has helped you begin thinking about your own Directional Statement.
Maybe it will also motivate you to know that once I wrote mine out, this simple exercise improved my productivity tenfold. It brought a renewed focus, and it made life easier for me to deal with. If it doesn’t fall into my idea of success, then I don’t put time into working on it. It really is that simple. If things in life come your way that seem like great opportunities, but they don’t line up with your DS, make the decision right now not to waste your time with them. If these so called “opportunities” have come into your life and don’t fit into your DS, you need to recognize that those aren’t opportunities that have come your way, but they are distractions.
Your DS brings order, defines success quickly, and helps you accomplish more. Your directional statement will streamline decisions for you and makes your thinking process simpler for both big and small life decisions. When you streamline such a huge part of your life as decision-making, it allows you to focus on other important things in life.
