BABY STEP

Reverse engineering is the concept of planning with the end goal in mind and working forward with logical steps along the way. Let’s borrow this brilliant idea for today’s topic.

Instead of beginning with the end goal, let’s begin with the typical regret.

1. Ask yourself this one question: How will I FEEL about this LATER?

2. In other words: What do I usually REGRET when I don’t take a chance or make a change?

3. Then, take those chances and make those changes one Baby Step at a time.

When we reverse engineer the regret, we set ourselves free from it.

Once we start considering our actions that way, we can create the outcome we desire rather than being victims of random circumstances. Now, WE are in charge. WE are in control. And even though we have no idea what obstacles will pop up, we are certainly in command of our thoughts, our emotions and our beliefs.

And that’s the perfect formula for a life we enjoy...free from regret :)
