One theorist (more specific, a plastic surgeon theorist) tells us that it takes 21 days to form a new habit.
Other theorists tell us that this is a myth and that it actually takes much longer.

You decide.

At the end of the day, the formula is clear on CHANGE – whether it takes 21 or 61 days.

CONSISTENCY…CONSISTENCY…CONSISTENCY.

Consistency automatically causes friction.  What friction is created, you ask?

Sacrifice.  To be consistent, you have to sacrifice one thing for another.

Let’s look at some examples.

Example one: CONSISTENTLY HOPING
What is being sacrificed here?
All of us, I’m sure, have had the conversation with The DREAMER, at least once in our lives.
The DREAMER may even have been or currently is you.  The DREAMER smiles at the vision in their head.  They even excitedly share their dreams with others.  But, have you noticed, that some DREAMERS explain away why they cannot achieve their dreams sometimes soon after sharing them.  Interesting, hey?  They may even spend hundreds of dollars at “Give Me Hope” style conferences, return with notepads full of strategies, inspirational quotes, and even scribbles of names and numbers.  Hmmm…

Here’s an example of a DREAMER ===> WATCH ME 

Example two: CONSISTENTLY MOVING
What is being sacrificed here?
You definitely know this person too.  Ahhh!  The MOVER and the SHAKER.
You know; the one people say ‘forgets where they came from’.
The MOVER and the SHAKER takes those baby steps that people laugh at them about, tell them they’re missing out on the fun of the now, and scold them on trying to be different when they’re really just like everyone else.  Unbeknownst to the COMFORTERS, those baby steps are the shifts that steer The MOVER and the SHAKER from being a DREAMER into a REALITY MAKER.  Then, bam!

Here’s an example of a DREAMER molded into a MOVER and a SHAKER that went back to help the COMFORTERS ===> WATCH ME

Selah…

What’s going to cause transformation in your child’s life?
You can live in Hopeville that they will grow out of it (without making any changes).  Will good grades, confidence, and/or broader life experiences suddenly show up, though?

Being CONSISTENT is a must.
But, first – do you even have a DREAM for your child’s future?
Let us help you transform your DREAM, their DREAM, into baby steps to get them MOVING toward it becoming a REALITY.

We have openings for private one-on-one strategy sessions currently available.
Whether you need a quick 10-minute chat seeking advice or a customized action plan to give you step-by-step professional recommendations of key strategies, programs and/or benefactors to help steer your child in the right direction.  

If you’re ready to take action on your DREAM, click here.

Let’s continue to invest in our children as whole beings – fueling their mind, body, and spirit.
Let’s do this!

Chat soon,
