What is that one thing you need to get done today?

Life can be a struggle at times.  Everyone has things that they have to deal with - a personal illness, job loss, credit or debt problems, a sick family member.  Life can be overwhelming, and beat you down, and make you feel like you're not going to go anywhere, at any time.

It doesn't have to be a tragedy or bad situation that has you stuck either.  Your life can seem to be going well, but you're just stuck in neutral, and not making the progress that you want.

Everybody has goals.  If you don't have them written down, you're missing something, but you've got goals - short, medium, and long term.

Some goals are financial, or personal, and are about moving you forward:

  • Get a new job
  • Buy a nice car
  • Get a bigger house
  • Start your own business

Some goals are more about just making it through the day

  • Make it to work on time
  • Visit a sick parent
  • Get out of bed
So what's your goal for today?

The problem with a lot of goals is that we have no idea on where to start.  Life can be a mountain of not enough time, and too much pain, and it's hard to climb that mountain every day.  You can feel overwhelmed.  So you don't do anything.  And you don't get anywhere, and you don't make progress, and the mountain never moves.

So move the mountain.

The phrase we hear all the time is "How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time".  Same thing with goals.  How do you move your mountain?  One thing at a time.

So right now, I want you to pick your goal for the day.  And it doesn't have to be big - it just has to get you moving.  If your goal is to get the basement organized, make today's goal to fill one garbage bag, or to haul 5 things up to the garbage, or to clean 10 sq ft.  And then go do it.  It's a little thing, but it gets you started.

Want to learn to code?  Today make sure you read two websites and do 2 tutorials.

Want to get a college education?  Today pick two colleges and find out what they need to admit someone in your particular situation.  That will give you your next goals.

Then the key thing is, go do it again tomorrow.  And the next day.  And the next day.  And don't stop.  Do little things that get you towards your goals every day.  Five years from now you're going to be five years older.  Are you going to have moved towards what you really want in life?

So pick something right now, then go do it, today.

5AK!

There are not any specific betting methods and strategies, because the cards are drawn at random. You can only depend on your inner feeling and intuition for the path of the profit. First, you receive two cards face up, while the supplier distributes just one for himself. His second is face down, which seems to be a turning point on the player's next move.
