Actions for Victory or Defeat?

Jul 7

I don't know about you, but I want my life to head in a positive direction, where I'm able to see growth and transformation not only in my life but in the lives of those around me. But let's face it: life comes with highs and lows. We should not try to ignore or forget that the not great stuff happened, we should be learning from the lows and letting them teach us how to do and be better. Why? So we can accomplish more victories individual and as a world. Have you ever wondered why I devote a post each week to the topic of victories and have a whole newsletter devoted to it? Why I share about it on social media each and every week? Because as James Clear said:

"Every action we take is like a vote for the type of person we wish to become."

I want to be someone others can rely on. I want to be someone I enjoy being with. I want to be someone who makes a difference in the lives of others. I want to be someone who has physical and mental health. I don't know who you want to be, but I do know that your actions reveal a great deal about the likely direction your life will take and who you'll be when you get there.

What do the actions you take in your life reveal about who you're becoming? Are you taking care of yourself and the others who matter to you? Are you learning and challenging yourself so that you can expand your career prospects? Are you spending time with people who build you up and make you enjoy life? Are you actively working to care for and improve the world in which you inhabit? Or are you spiralling in a downward or sideways direction that makes it seem increasingly challlening to get going back in the right direction?

What actions do you need to take this summer to put you on or keep you on a path to greater or continued victories in your life? Yes, those actions can include summer favorites like resting and healing, because those actions show that your physical and mental health matter to you and you know that you need to work on that before you can work on other things. They can also include what most people think of when they talk about action like cleaning or learning or working or communicating. What do the actions in your life reveal about where you're heading and how your present journey will likely end up and what should be the next step you take?
