The difference between motivation and habits is subtle for many, but of great importance and value for us all. “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn
Why do you care what people think?
Why does it matter what people say? Why does it matter so much to so many of us that we will stop pursuing our goals, passions and what makes us happy? Why do we empower and enable others to have control over how we live our own lives; why is it that we will rather fly under the radar and …
Plan ahead, but live in the moment
Plan ahead, but live in the moment. Don’t allow today to be wasted because you are daydreaming about next week, month, year or even a decade. Always have long-term plans and goals, but work hard each day to get that much closer to those goals. Make progress one day at a time, patiently, yet efficiently and effectively.
Take time off to gain perspective
Time off is important and can be very valuable on multiple fronts. It goes without saying that it is valuable to take some time off from work, change the environment and create a bit of distance, both mentally and physically (I don’t believe in “staycations”) and actually leave the area if possible, unplug and immerse yourself in the moment (with …
Consistency is the key to success
Rresilience is what differentiates those who have succeeded from those who gave up (often a bit too soon). It is always about consistency and daily practice in all that you want to accomplish as a major achievement in your personal and professional life. All great things require work, focus, energy, determination and consistency. Be consistent!
How to set and achieve your goals
We all have goals, but how do you set the stage in order to achieve those goals? First, your major goals need to be measurable and large, very large! They need to be so monumental that they will keep you moving forward and making progress for years, even decades to come. When it comes to smaller goals, they generally come …
Complaining is not a strategy
Complaining is not a business strategy. While we all complain at times (rightfully so if I might add), it is essential to focus on reducing complaints and focusing on positive contributions and collaborative work towards solutions. Complaints on their own provide no value and often result in further negative approach to whatever the environment might be at the moment.
You become your expectations
Expectations, standards and what you believe in will go a long way towards determining your final outcome, your performance and contributions.
Don’t judge people
We have all done it at some point in life, we have judged someone else. In every instance, that was a wrong decision to make as none of us is perfect and none of us should have the audacity to look down on another human being. Furthermore, in most cases, we don’t have all the information and don’t know why …
Think BIGGER!
Bigger! Think bigger and exceed your current grand, life-long goals. We are all capable of achieving more than we think we can as long as we are willing to put in the effort needed to succeed. Also, it is important to note that all major goals take a long time and they require years, perhaps even decades of commitment, energy, …
