Welcome to Daring Daily On Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

every day.

Here's your success mentor, Daring Hardy.

Have you ever heard the adage?

I will accomplish this even if it kills me.

Well, in my early years of goal setting and achieving, I almost died and I missed a lot

of other opportunities along the way.

I became so dogmatic, so focused on the goals that I had set and the specific plans that

I made to achieve them, that my blinders kept me from one seeing the easier and faster

routes to my destination, two, that some of the goals that I deemed important at the

start of the year or the decade were less important than I originally believed, and

three, in that blinded focus.

I didn't even see the even better, more significant, more consequential, and even easier

to achieve opportunities that presented themselves along the way.

One of the greatest challenges to success is learning how to stay focused on your goals

while remaining flexible enough to adapt to any needed change.

Even though we have designed a very specific strategic plan to achieve them, it is equally

important to remain open and flexible all along the way.

If you look back at most of your defining moments or those pivotal events that transformed

your life, I bet most of those were unplanned and happened unexpectedly.

Life is a mystery.

You never know what might show up.
