When we look around the world and identify people that are dominating their craft, whether it be an athlete, an entrepreneur, or even a fairy-tail-like couple, they all have one thing in common: they’ve mastered the mundane. While “the mundane” looks and means something different in each of these examples, the common theme lies within their journey to finding that success, often coming down to the execution of life’s simplest decisions.
The road to mastering the mundane isn’t for the faint of heart, but here are 3 ways that can help you on your way to achieving a better lifestyle, relationship, and/ or career.

Identify Your Goal
Whether you identify closest with the athlete, the entrepreneur or the couple seeking prosperity, the common feature between all 3 of these examples is that they identified and outlined their goal from the beginning. Knowing and defining your desired objective is the first step in separating yourself from the pack. Be concise in defining what it is you’d like to accomplish and map out a loose plan of how you’d like to get there.
Perspective is Key
How you approach life makes a difference and it’s important to remember that success doesn’t come overnight. Receiving what you want out of life takes patience and is often accompanied with many setbacks. It’s also expected that there will be aspects along the way that are either boring, repetitive, or feel entirely unnecessary. Staying the course with a focused mindset is key. Mistakes will be made along the way but taking the lesson out of each situation is imperative.
Habits
Every day we make thousands of little decisions that ultimately make us who we are. These decisions compounded over time can greatly benefit the way we live our lives, as well as our overall happiness. Conversely, these same crossroads, if approached incorrectly, can lead to a life of mediocrity.
Creating a new habit can be daunting as it’s common to get intimidated or overwhelmed by expectations surrounding the end goal. Start small, hold yourself accountable, and don’t beat yourself up if you take a personal day. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Seeing results could takes weeks, months, or even years, but it will be worth it in the end.
