How can you change your life to get results?

We are now a month into a new year. What have you done in regard to any new year's resolutions? Do you even remember them? One of the keys to change is WANTING to change and for this, you need to have good reasons to change. What is your WHY? Be very clear on the benefits of changing your habits and also look at the cost of not changing. Doing this can provide you with the leverage to make changes in your life that will produce better results.
Consider what habits you have that are holding you back. Just changing one habit could make a significant difference. Example, how are you spending your time? Perhaps you have a budget for your money, and do you also have a budget for your time? When you decide on the results you want to have in life, it becomes more clear what you need to do to move forward. The change starts within you.

Wayne Carey and life after sport

It's disappointing that some of our most successful athletes become undone in their own personal lives. Wayne Carey is another example of a sportsman that is unable to translate success on the sports field to success off. With recent events there has been much speculation by various experts. Speculation includes Wayne Carey's consideration for AFL's Hall of Fame.
It begs the question: Is the Hall of Fame confined to feats on the sporting field OR should it recognise athletes with champion qualities off the field too?
Perhaps if the Hall of Fame (in any sport) considers the latter, then the next generation of sportsmen may aspire for greatness in all facets of their life.
I believe its important for athletes to think about goals beyond their sport. I'm talking about goals that compliment sporting success and these can address personal, career and financial areas of life. Goals provide direction and when you set them, write them down, and then commmit to them, you will define your path. Your actions and behaviour will reflect your goal. By thinking about the type of person you want to BE, and setting boundaries on how you will act, then you can get greater results in life.
Create balance in your life and think about what else you want to achieve in life. How do you want to be remembered?
