When I was a kid, every thing started with Ready, Set, GO! – Whether we were racing our bikes around the neighborhood, running, swimming, or playing a board game. It was the beginning of all events.
Looking back I see it as a training ground for accomplishment. It encapsulates a three step process to success.
1. Get ready (i.e. prepare). Before we can embark on our journey we must be prepared. This may mean knowing where you want your journey to take you. Preparation to succeed is vital.
2. Get set (i.e. the time to start is imminent). There are many aspects of this but the one that strikes me is the excitement of beginning. I can clearly recall the excitement of anticipation for the beginning. It is important to be able to hold on to the excitement of the beginning through out the journey. How excited will you be when you’ve attained your goal?
3. GO (i.e. do it). You are ready, you know your goal and you have a plan for achieving it. You are set, the excitement is so strong you can hardly contain yourself. Now is your time to go for the goal.
