Lethal Drift

He’s comfortable, but…

Scott asked me if I knew why he wasn’t getting where he wanted to go. I told him that, from what I could see, he was exactly where he really wanted to be: comfortable.

Lethal drift

Scott talked a big game about getting somewhere, but couldn’t have been convicted in a court of law of ever doing very much about it. Scott was in a lethal drift in life.

Happens when

The lethal drift happens when what you want, and what you actually do, don’t align. We are distracted while we slowly die in place.

You don’t align your attention and intention

The hard truth is that we must all decide what few things will get our attention. That attention is the most limited thing in our lives. If our attention does not align with our goals or intentions, we may be in a lethal drift.

You can stop the lethal drift by…

• (Checklist alert)
• Reviewing the goals you care passionately about achieving, twice a day.
• Enhancing your visualization of the goals at each review.
• measuring daily or weekly progress to get real about actions.
• Aligning attention (actions) with intention (goals); don’t kid yourself.
  

So, ask yourself: “Am I like Scott, or not”?

Scott died a long time ago (figuratively speaking). He is now just waiting for a comfortable burial. Is that what you want? What could you be convicted of, in a court of law, from the evidence of your life (calendar, check book, credit card receipts)?

If you are not like Scott

Do you want to be, or have something beyond, what you are, or have, today? The journey starts, or is revitalized, when you get a progressively clearer mental picture of what are you living for.

You can begin with one step

Getting and staying in action is the key. Forgive yourself when you make a mistake, rest a little, and get back into action.
