If you want to separate yourself and become the best at something, your actions must be different. You can’t just do what everyone else is doing and expect talent to carry you all the way through. If you want something that most people don’t have, you must be willing to do what most people won’t do. It goes back to courage. You need to become comfortable with being criticized and ridiculed.
There is an emotional and instinctual version of yourself that makes decisions and creates action without even thinking.
It can be much harder to stay motivated for the climb up when you have already seen the view from the top. Winning can be dangerous because it can induce complacency. The winners who are able to resist complacency and continuously improve become legends
A simple problem left unaddressed today, could be a major problem a few months from now. Relieve yourself of that stress and anxiety by getting done what you need to get done, so you can focus on the things you want/need to do.
When people are thirsty, they go to the well where they have always gotten their water, they don’t try to search for a new water source. If they came through for you and liked what they bought, the chances of them coming back for more are highly favorable for you. Don’t ignore this, focus on increasing loyalty and satisfaction from your existing customer base. Your customers will not only refrain from going to a competitor but will be an advocate for your products and your company. A loyal customer is the best type of marketing tool you can utilize. Do great work for a few people and watch how the opportunities to do great for many will appear.
A big part of being closed minded is not valuing differences. As I mentioned earlier, we often avoid people who think differently than we do because we feel we cannot relate to them. By doing this you are limiting your perspective and closing yourself off to further discovery.
The truth is that the ability to produce wealth and achieve financial security comes from having personal security. If you have a great understanding for who you are, possess an unwavering belief in yourself, have confidence through positive self-talk and positive reinforcements, you give yourself the power to obtain the qualities that allow for financial security.
You can’t go back and rewrite your history, but you can create your future. The future is all you have to look forward to, so stop beating yourself up over your past and start envisioning your successful future.
I believe that we all have the ability to work towards a point where we can make major decisions the same way we make small moment by moment decisions, like what we are going to eat, what color shirt we are going to wear or what show we are going to watch on Netflix.
The process to happiness, just like becoming an athlete is a process and you have to focus in on the training. You must focus in on the things that make you happy. If nothing makes you happy then you must do some serious soul searching and step away from your daily routine to find your happiness. It may not make sense to others but ultimately it will be the most important thing you ever do in your life and will shape your actions and attitude for the remainder of your life.
