I always feel that the older I get the more time seems to Superman by. Get it? As in fly fast like Superman. That is a cheesy joke, Danny. Okay, fine. Anyway, that makes me think. Wow… I am getting older and my time is limited.

So, I ask myself, am I living my life to the truest potential? Where was I last year compared to where I am today? Am I satisfied with the results?

Now, to answer these questions, I would say I am pleasantly pleased with my growth. You might be asking, “Danny, what did you do?” Well, I followed four small rules every year, and these powerful four have helped and worked for me and my endeavours.

But that’s the thing. We must have some sort of plan to achieve something. Without a plan we are lost and going in every direction, only to be stopped by a dead-end zone. I am a big believer in resolutions because it keeps me on track and focused. To be honest, a resolution does not have to be on the first day of every year. But it can if you want it to.

A resolution starts when you first believe that you can do something. You have made a pact with the universe that you are ready to do something great for your life. You are at the starting position and ready to kick some serious you know what. 

I simply see every day as a resolution, and what that does is make me evolve every day. Live by the day. Let that be your resolution. So, let’s say you have a goal. We obviously need a plan, a strategy, and then we take action. I like to revolve my powerful four on these below:

PASSION

Without passion there is no need to do anything. I want you to feel that accomplishment before you even start working on it. Feel that joy. The harder you put in your effort, the faster the reward. Live happily and with passion.

What is life without passion? It is boring. Passion fuels our drive and intensity to live our life to the fullest. I want you to live limitless. Whatever you do and focus on, then do it with so much love you will be great at it. Put in the work but be passionate when you do it. That is when you know you found your calling.

MINDSET

Our mindset is everything. It is the greatest gift we have in addition to our strength. With a strong mindset, anything in this world is possible. The only reason why many don’t dream big is because either it takes hard work, or they don’t believe they can. If their mindset is that way, then they won’t do it.

Your mindset should not be based on what others say or have done to you. It should not be based on a rejection or a setback. It is based on the beautiful mind that you were given and believing that this beautiful mind can make miracles happen. The bottom line is you can. It is not only a matter of believing you can, but how bad you want it.

“I can’t” mindset: I can’t, means ZERO. You will not take any action because you don’t believe you can do it. You must eliminate this.

“I want to” mindset: “Want” is like, “yeah, I think I can, but I don’t have the time. It is not much of an urgency. But I will eventually get to it.”

Eliminate this because you are at a 50/50 chance of doing something, and the passion is not fully there.

This is why I tell people to stick with “I must.” “Must” creates an urgency and a determination to go all the way, regardless of any setbacks. When your life is a “must,” your reward will always be “I did it.”

If you can’t stop thinking of accomplishing something, you have already instilled “I will” in your mind. Now, you have set your mindset to success. You are not worried about failing.

FOCUS

Whatever you put your focus and attention on is going to show by your results. If someone watches TV or plays video games all day every day, then what are the results? The results will be empty.

However, if that same person decides to find something to pursue and focus on something positive, then what is going to happen? They will enable themselves to take positive actions with the power of focus.

With focus, you don’t care what shirt your friend wore, what TV show is playing on Netflix, or what your neighbour is doing at this moment. You are like, “I am going to make my life extraordinary. I have no time, but time to move ahead.”

CONSISTENCY

One of my favourite words is “consistency” because consistency means growth, evolution and success. Let’s be honest here, without any consistency towards a goal, we tend to stop. It’s like a person going to the gym to lose weight.

They felt good for a week, but what happened? Life happened. They then go once a week and suddenly they flat out stopped going to the gym. They subsequently go back to their old routine.

Anything you are after, don’t stop. Go all the way. And most importantly, keep learning as you keep evolving. The bottom line is that you can start anytime you want. But before you start, have a goal, set a plan in mind, and start ASAP.

Don’t wait for a special day to start or a holiday. You can start today if you are all ready to go. I believe in you. But do you believe in you? I hope so. It’s time to make 2024 a beautiful year of joy, happiness, abundance, good health, wealth, peace and success.

Don’t worry too much about his life, her life, or anyone else’s life. It is called your life for a reason, and your life requires your attention today. It is saying let’s make magic happen in this world, and magical people like you do that the best.

Whether it’s 2024 or 2054, it does not matter what year it is, all that matters is that our positive mindset remains the same. We must continue to strive and go forward. We are resilient, brave, and strong enough to keep evolving.

PASSION • MINDSET • FOCUS • CONSISTENCY • THESE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE ANYTHING!
