“If I can’t do it perfectly, I won’t do it at all.” This attitude has kept me…you and any other closet perfectionists out there from getting back on the proverbial horse far too many times to count. We want it done and we want it done exactly right or why bother? Sound familiar?
We all have a little perfectionist in us, but this all-or-nothing mentality may actually be the reason you are underachieving.
All-or-nothing is a paralyzing mentality.
It is why so many resolutions fail.
Goals do not have to be black and white. Instead make small changes that help you get closer to achieving the end goal. In this video, I will give you 4 tips on how to reach your goals without an all-or-nothing approach.

The journey on the path to our goal is sometimes more fun and more rewarding, but often we get fixated on…
“I will be X when I have accomplished Y.”
Does Y really make you X?
What about what happens between X and Y?
Today’s video will help you to avoid missing out on the “in between” and actually reach your goals in 2014 instead of giving up in the process with these tips.
1. Be consistent and focus on one thing
2. Celebrate the small things
3. Prepare to “fall of the wagon” (aka Damage control)
4. Accountability
Let the Inspired Living community help you keep you on-track and accountable. Share your goals with us in the comments and let’s celebrate the small stuff!

Yep! that was ME! All or Nothing! Powerful Wisdom Keri! … Awesomeness Unleashed! 😉
FOCUS is what Creates Everything!.. And what it’s All about. Where our attention goes .. energy flows .. and where energy flows … Creation is the result …etc. This was a biggee for the boy! A lesson which I had me go through the pits of depression! I believe I create my own reality through the choices and decisions I make in each moment – there have been so many life experiences where I would stand in the middle of them wondering … “How the hell did I create this one!!!?” It took what seemed forever for me to realise that it was ALL about what i was Focusing on .. and .. that what I focused on .. I manifested. (the good and the bad (contrast). What turned this around for me was simply practising to focus (pre-paving) on the feelings of what I wanted as an outcome ONLY.
Celebrate Small things – AGREED! 😉 – It’s always those of us who want more than most .. who have usually been through more so-called negatives than most – celebrating the smallest positive experiences in those times helped me feel good .. gave me a feeling of Relief … Absolutely necessary! 😉
Prepare to Fall Off the Wagon – Maybe … personally .. I wouldn’t use the word ‘Prepare’ here for me .. too close to ‘expect’ 😉 .. I’ve come to realise that whatever I prepare for .. expect .. always manifests ;-). When I really ‘got’ that I was creating everything .. the part I was playing in creating and manifesting what I was, I practised Preparing … Expecting … Focusing … ONLY … What I Wanted. My life changed from that point. And your comment on Guilt? Sooo critical to get that one! We ARE Human .. we don’t always get it right .. and we’re not supposed to! 😉 … how else do we learn to be more, do more, have more? It’s by stuffing up, getting it wrong, that I have learned the most.
Accountability – to someone .. to keep yourself aligned to something …can be a critical stepping stone .. until you can do it for yourself. It’s also been absolutely critical that the person I choose to do this with – is someone I align with on an energetic level. 😉 … One couldn’t choose a greater life coach than someone who has walked the walk … someone like KERI MURPHY!!! 😉 …
I love you powerful Soul! Keep Shining! 😉
