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
