For some it’s a reality check – that point when we have to stop what we’re doing and determine if we are headed in the wrong direction. You don’t achieve ultimate success if you’re treading water…unsure of your goals…feeling overwhelmed…worrying about who’s looking over your shoulder.

A reality check often means making some hard choices. Obviously you have to objectively analyze what’s really causing you to be so stressed or otherwise unable to succeed, and actually do something about it. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Some people are extremely successful, or on the way to achieving their most important goals. However, most aren’t, because they’re stalled or just unwilling to experience a reality check.

Take time this week for a reality check. Evaluate where you are. Reaffirm where you want to be. Make the difficult choices.

“Choices, not circumstances, determine success.”
