The Journal Forward Audiocast: How to Manifest Your Best Life

Episode 17 - Keep a Knocking - Unveiling the Daily Struggle, Keep a Knocking for a Better You

Synopsis: The journal entry "Keep a Knocking" uses the metaphorical song lyrics to convey the ongoing struggle for self-improvement. It emphasizes the relentless pursuit of being the best version of oneself and the constant need to knock on the door of perfection, even though it may not always open. The narrative encourages introspection, asking the listener to assess their daily efforts and strive for improvement. It underscores the idea that each day is an opportunity to keep knocking, keep trying, and keep working towards a better life.

Takeaway Action Item: After reflecting on the questions posed in the entry, create a daily action plan focused on three specific tasks to improve from yesterday. Document these tasks and measure your progress at the end of the day. Engage in nightly reflections, assessing whether you were better today than yesterday and what steps you will take if granted another tomorrow. Embrace the idea of continuous improvement and the necessity to keep knocking on the doors of opportunity. Share your commitment and progress with a support system to reinforce accountability and encouragement in this ongoing journey of self-development.

Reflect & Write:

Are you willing to keep knocking? Will you persevere day after day? Being your best self is not an easy feat. Are you among those who rise daily and ask the question, what must I do today to be better than I was yesterday? Do you retire at night, assessing who you were today and preplanning who you would like to be should the Creator gift you a new day? Do you look at yourself daily and ask if you like who you have been that day? If you do that type of reflection and are honest enough to say you could have done better, tomorrow is a chance to keep knocking and doing more.

Now Act:

Look back at your reflection. What will you do today to be better? Be specific on three things you will do today that will improve from yesterday. There is no resting on our laurels. Yesterday is the past and has no bearing on the present, so keep moving forward. When you go to bed tonight, take time to reflect again. Were you better today than you were yesterday? What will you do if you get another tomorrow to be even better? This is a never-ending process if we are going to get to our best lives and be the best version of ourselves. So, as Nate said, keep knocking again and again.
