It’s your choice. Be distracted and your dreams drift further away. Or stay focused and have a better chance at a better life: the life you say you want.
Set your phone alarm for 7 minutes and press repeat each time it goes off. Then if you’re distracted it reminds you to stay focused. You can even put ‘STAY FOCUSED’ as the alarm name!
Rarely would this happen.
If you want to be great at a sport, you will need to sacrifice dating time, drinking time, drifting time and put a lot of training in. Same with education, work, relationships, etc.
You’ll need to sacrifice time, comfort and ease for involvement, hard days and tough work.
It will be worth it in the end. But you have to believe it and live it now.
Most things in life are simple.
Stop complicating it.
Make the sacrifices your goal requires and stop dragging it out.
Learn from the past but don’t focus on it. Focus on the future and take action today toward the outcome you crave.
Do not spend time, your life, on meh things. Go after your heart’s desire, your mind’s most exciting adventures and your soul’s true love.
Time is fleeting so only focus on the outcome you crave.
If you know where things are, you’ll find them quicker. When your files are in order, you can capitalise on opportunities more quickly and more often.
People think it takes too much time to get organised and stay tidy. Yes, it takes a bit more time but you save on all the faffing about when you can’t find things.
Make tidying things away properly part of completing the task. You’re not done when you throw it on the desk. You’re done when it’s been filed correctly and the next steps and meetings and invoicing are all in your calendar for follow up.
You need energy abundance! Although some of that is physical, you can go into hyper drive if you use your mind properly.
Your mind can push you way beyond your current limits. Your mind, well harnessed, can make you go beyond all your expectations.
If you get into the zone and tap into flow, you can be unstoppable.
Pay attention Oilers!!
Where do you want to be in 5 and 10 years? Who do you want to be around? What will you be doing?
Start thinking about, and writing down, these great and wonderful future thoughts today. Get a notebook dedicated to your future you.
Note down things on a daily basis, as many as you can, of what you want, or don’t want, in your life.
Review these daily or at least weekly. Focus on the want, not the how, and the when, not the cost.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Start today!
Aiming for ’on time’ is ok but you will often end up a little later than hoped or a little frazzled. It’s not worth the frazzle!
Be early rather than on time. You’ll feel better getting there, when you get there and later on because you did so well.
While you spend your time trying to change circumstances or other people, the world is whirring by.
If you want things to change, try changing how you look at things or people. If you use a negative filter to assess everything, guess what you’ll discover! It will be all the negative aspects of the situation or person.
If you use a positive filter to assess things, expect to find positive aspects of the person or circumstance.
Don’t let a negative mindset drag your life down. Change your perceptions before it’s too late!
You can make yourself happier simply by changing how you perceive things!
Get your head down and do the grinding work. You don’t want to do it but a few disciplined hours each day to move key projects forward will pay off. Within days or weeks you will be over the 50% point and feel the forward momentum.
The whole project will feel lighter as you get past 50% and soon progress past 60%. Rather than feeling drained and restrained, like at the start of the project, you begin to focus on completing and celebrating your successful completion.
Project milestones can impact your mindset and this is especially true once you pass the tipping point.
Stay focused and keep plugging away. Use your discipline and you will gather momentum towards your success!!
