Nailing It...

Dear Why Team member,
​
Are you nailing it?

Consider the metaphor of building a house and how many nails it requires.  What are the nails you need to hit every day to build the life you want?  Are there nails you are not endeavoring to hit or are missing when you swing?  Could more collaboration with others help with your construction?  Would you like to remodel or add an addition?  Where do you need to nail it?
​
Since you’re reading this post you are already part of a group of master builders but are there places in your life that need...

...a nail or two?  If so, identify what you want to build, why you want to build it and grab a bucket of nails!  Of course it helps to have a great hammer; YOU are the HAMMER!  Are you taking care of yourself, do you have the energy and fortitude to drive in the nails that will effectively build a life to better serve you and others?  Think of the daily nails you feel you need to hit if you are to build what you want to build.  The fundamentals must be addressed first before we can give sufficient time to the decoration, comforts and facade.  

Consider the nails you must hit to get a good night's sleep - hammer into your psyche the importance of quality sleep if you are to be on your best behavior tomorrow - early to bed, early to rise - healthy wealthy and wise.  Are you nailing it well with your food choices?  If not, ask why?  Why is putting crap in your body defined as a treat?  Hmm
​
Love yourself enough to care for yourself - nail down your priorities - if your priorities are feeling loose, nailem' down.  

Each nail driven contributes to the overall construction of your life.  What are you building and why are you building it?  Be more intentionally proactive less unintentionally reactive!  When it comes to your priorities, your infrastructure, your foundation, are you nailing it?  And if not, consider rededicating yourself to what you want to construct in 2017.  Start with your WHY to establish your WILL and your Will will show you the WAY to nail it.

Make it a great week,

Steve Luckenbach
