Your Best Year Ever

Now it’s your turn. Your best year ever isn’t a movie you can sit back and watch. It’s a vision that needs to be built, starting now, or it won’t come true. It’s no accident you were drawn to this book and that you’ve stayed with it till the end. This is your year; this is your moment.

Don’t defer your dreams. Don’t delay your goals. Don’t procrastinate on the one thing you need to do today to make meaningful progress in your personal or professional life. Once you’ve determined your next step, take it. Don’t wait. Take a LEAP.

Patton took action. We need to do the same. If you want to see a big change and combat the Law of Diminishing Intent, you must be willing to take a big LEAP. It’s as simple as four steps, one for each letter of the acronym:

Lean into the change with expectancy. When you notice that a change is desirable or necessary, that’s your green light. Punch the gas pedal. That inkling is all you need to get going.
Engage with the concept until you achieve clarity. Don’t let the feeling pass. Work with it until you’ve got a sense of what to do. That nagging thought in the back of your mind might be the start of a whole new adventure—or the ladder you need to climb out of a deep rut.
Activate and do something—anything. Sometimes we wait to move until we have all the information. That’s a mistake. Clarity comes in degrees. And you only need enough light for the next step. Even if you get off on the wrong foot, the rest of the journey will become clearer as you go.
Pounce and do it now. Once you’ve determined your next step, take it. Don’t wait. Waiting feels safe, but waiting kills dreams.

you can beat the Law of Diminishing Intent and create your best year ever by leveraging what I call the LEAP Principle:

NEVER LEAVE THE SCENE OF CLARITY

WITHOUT TAKING DECISIVE ACTION.
