Sense of urgency

I have a question and some food for thought about the sense of urgency. What is this sense of urgency? Bob Proctor refers to it as an ability to automatically detect those projects or activities, that are goal achieving and be disciplined enough to set your self the goal to fulfill this project or activity as fast as humanly possible without hesitating. And I agree with this, but the key is - how do I develop such an marvelous sense? Can I just start picking projects to fulfill and then hope for better results in my life? I think not... Bob says, that he can teach us how to do it, but what if we don't want to pay money for it, or we can't? After all we can't know if the information we will get is going to help us at all. So paying for the air is not a smart thing to do. So here is what I suggest you do.

1. Read again the text in bold and try to understand the concept.
2. Write down on a piece of paper all available projects to you.
3. Think about every single project as a good project and try to see the good end result if possible.
4. Filter out the best of all and if possible, participate in all of your top 3 - 5 projects.

Remember, do not participate in more than you can handle. You must provide the participants of the project with your very best services to make it goal achieving!

Try this out and let me know how you succeed by posting comments. For any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

If you also want to get a deeper understanding of what this sense of urgency is and why you should create it for you, you might want to look into these addresses.

Those in bold I recommend especially.

Keep up the good work and don't expect to get "lucky" and be happy, instead start being happy and you will get "lucky". Luck is just series of properly made decisions for the future, that are paying them selves. Every time you follow your heart you make one such decision. So start building your "luck".
