Pay Attention To Your Failure Points
Where things go wrong again and again is where your greatest opportunities for change lie.
Where do things go sideways for you?
In relationships. In work. In your health. In whatever you do.
What tends to trigger failure for you?
That’s the magic spot.
That’s where you need to make the change. Do the healing. Craft the plan.
If there’s more than one failure point — and let’s face it, there’s always more than one failure point — start with the most pressing one. The one that occurs most frequently, or the one that does the most damage.
What leads to you quitting?
Is it that you run out of energy? Or motivation? (The lie that is motivation is a topic for another day.)
Sometimes, it’s not specifically you causing things to go sideways, it’s your life circumstances. Illness can cause things to go sideways in unpredictable ways — whether it’s your own illness or that of someone close to you.
Toxic relationships can also cause things to go sideways — and those aren’t always as easy to leave as we’d like them to be.
