Are You Focused Enough To Hit Your Target Today?

 Are you focused enough to hit your target today? Truth is, there are so many potential distractions and interruptions that happen throughout our day. Because of this, it's crucial to stay-on-point with following-through for whatever it is we need to complete.  If you're considered a 'go-to-person' within your circle, chances are you easily abort your mission(s).  This means you're also a 'plenty yes' person'; you frequently respond as 'yes' to most people - like plenty...  A simple "I'm not able to assist you right now" is all it takes, and please know this is not a 'no'.  It's merely a 'not right now'.  Plain and simple.  If your circle is not receptive to this, it's your responsibility to introduce them to your non-negotiables. Period. The truth of the matter is, if you're a 'go-to-person', you're circle is already aware that you're willing and able.  That's why they come to you in the first place. The bottom line is, are your circle members willing and able to respect your response.

The 'in the meantime' of seeing this play out (how they respond/react to your 'not right now'), is the true test of your alignment with your circle members.  You may experience some members totally aborting, others will experience growing pains, and some will immediately get on-board.  You too may experience growing pains, but hold on because resilience is your reward. Be consistent; being stretched is part of the test. 

I'm told that, '... you can't build muscles lifting feathers...' (crediting Joyce Meyer - Evangelist).  So prepare yourself for some fights.  People hear 'no' even when you're saying 'not right now'.  Your goal is to stay focused to hit your target(s), and your benefits will be: your boundaries become respected, you become empowered, you're building (mental, emotional...) muscles, and you get to accomplish your goal(s).  Sounds like a win-win to me.
