My Smart Watch

Some months back, my daughter saw a picture from my college days and asked rhetorically  “Wow! Dad…you used to have a flat tummy?”.

We went back and forth and I told her I would get the flat tummy back just to prove to her that we can do anything we put our hearts to. I even promised to throw in 6-pack abs. I wasn’t sure exactly how I would achieve this goal that I set…then I bought a new Phone and it came with a SMART WATCH.

I knew I had to work on food portions and be more active, I had to take more steps daily. My doctor had always said that…I knew everything I needed to do but the SMART WATCH helped tie it together.

It reminds me when I have been sitting for too long (constant reminders)

It tell me my daily goals and how I have fared

It shows me the progress made so far and encourages me to stay focused on the goal

I have been going one day at a time, cooperating with my Smart Watch…even on days that I don’t feel like it.

I went from almost 240 to 198lbs (wifey still thinks it’s too much) because of a device that broke my main goal down into measurable daily goals and encouraged me to achieve them. All I had to do was take care of a Penny/Cent/Kobo and the Pound/Dollar/Naira would take care of itself

Now to my point…

I was discussing my wife 2 weeks ago and we started talking about how we all have goals in life. Some appear cumbersome that we don’t even know where to begin tackling them. If only we could break them into measurable and realistic daily tasks/goals  and have some form of “SMART WATCH” to keep up accountable.

Your Smart Watch could be your spouse or even a reminder on your Phone; an accountability partner that knows what you should be doing and pushes you to do it…someone/something that reminds of the small goals so you don’t get overwhelmed by the big goal. Someone/Something that helps you consistently go one day at a time until you ultimately achieve that seemingly unattainable big goal.

Find your “SMART WATCH” and when you do, COOPERATE with Them/Him/Her/It
