There is a clear gap between where your daily emotional state is today and where you need to be. It’s time to take a close look at what is causing this disconnect. Are you living in a suffering state? Are you assigning blame for that to a circumstance beyond what you think you can control? Remember: If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. It’s time to take massive action to get back control over your life and emotional health.

There is a significant gap between where your love life is today and where you want it to be. But don’t despair! You would be surprised at how many people are dissatisfied with their relationship, but they don’t do anything to improve it or make a change that will put them in a better one. Consider shifting your perspective to one of giving instead of taking. Most people enter a relationship in order to get something; they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. Try it!

Are you easily distracted? Do you feel confident that your daily regimen is best-suited to help you achieve your outcomes? If we want to change our lives, we must change our habits. To begin making a change in your productivity level, first take a close look at what you do every single day. Write it down. Track it. Evaluate it. See how it is contributing to where you want to go. And if it doesn’t serve you, get rid of it! It’s time to take a different approach to your personal and professional output, because whatever it is you’re doing now – it’s not working! But what better place to start than a clean slate?

Feeling utterly dissatisfied in your career? You have a gap to close if your professional life is going to be at the level that you desire it to be. Perhaps you don’t have a goal that inspires you! Create a vision for your ultimate career – one that lights you up, makes you feel truly joyful. Then focus on that goal, because where focus goes, energy flows. One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. This is your opportunity to fixate on what you want and go for it!

When it comes to finance, like anything else, the only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself. “I can’t save money.” “I have too much debt.” “Any money I would put into retirement now goes into my kids’ college fund.” “I lost so much in the divorce.” All of these are stories you tell yourself, and you must break free of the ones that limit you. The first step is to change your strategy, because if you’re running east looking for a sunset, it doesn’t matter how positive you are or how hard you work at it, it’s not going to to work because it’s the wrong strategy. Hint: A solid financial strategy will always start by “paying yourself first,” so you can begin to tap into the power of compounding. You need to figure out what you really want, eliminate expenses that don’t bring you joy, set realistic goals and create an achievable plan to get you there. Then, break free of your stories, and finally, change your state. If you’re constantly stressed, overwhelmed or frustrated, you won’t have the fuel to implement your goals. Find a way to recharge. Your mental and emotional state determines how well you can execute your financial plan.

Even the most famous philanthropists and most respected global leaders in politics and business can feel like there is a big gap between how much they are contributing today and where they want to be – so you are in good company. The key part is knowing that you want your score to be high in this area, that it is important enough to you to acknowledge that gap and desire to fill it. But how do you do this? Start by mastering your own psychology, because a true leader owns themselves and their actions in ways that cannot compare to how they are with others. Learn the strategies and tools that will help you reach your potential as a leader, and then go out and implement them immediately; you’ll quickly see how wonderful it feels to create lasting, positive change in others. Let that feeling fuel you to do it again, and again – until pretty soon you will realize: Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.
