Many of us struggle with our "to do" lists, checking off (mentally or literally) all of the things we need to do on a daily basis. But WHY are we doing the things on a "to do" list? Is it not to be for example, more successful, happier, wealthier, closer to our family and friends, and so forth? I set out each day what I want TO BE, and this sets in motion those things on my usual uninspiring "to do" list, with great EASE!
My To Do List helps me move towards my To Be List. My To Do List helps to keep me organized, but I also use it to set goals that I want to achive. And doing now helps those goals become a reality. I love the post Michelle!
I agree, subconsciously though the to be fuels the to do so it works out nicely that way. By never losing sight of what I'm trying to become, the to do becomes simpler than normal.
I have to agree with payment proof. When I list all the things I need "to do", I know I will achieve what I want "to be".
That's a smart way to trick the mind and reduce the drudgery that inevitably creeps into any routine, repetitive action. It's one thing to project a mental image of a goal accomplished; it's quite another to put in the training and hard work that's required to materialize that goal. I agree that constantly reminding yourself of the end result helps to keep the drive and excitement alive, making it easier to put in the necessary effort to make it happen. Hermas
Nice post Michelle. Once you start focusing on "to be", your "to do" list gets populated and acted upon appropriately.
Great post Michelle. That is definitely something to think about. That could really change the outcome of the day. I am going to consider this and see what kind of difference it makes.
I really like your heading - our 'To Do' List and our 'To Be' List - but we do need to understand both. Otherwise, we have our heads in a cloud, only thinking of our 'to be' list. We also need to realize that in order to make our 'To Be' list a reality, we need to face the reality of our 'To Do' list. We need to do what it takes to move us closer to the goal of our 'To Be' list.
