How To Muster Some Great Determination and Overcome Pitfalls
How To Muster Some Great Determination and Overcome Pitfalls >>
As you reflect
on how the current year has unfolded for you so far, notice how you feel about
what worked and didn’t work. If you’re
like most there’ll be signs of disappointment to some extent, when you consider
what you managed to do and not, as per your initial expectations. If this sounds familiar, don’t let yourself
worry too much about it, you’re one amongst many of us who also struggle to manifest
all that we desire. It’s not all lost
though because you, like everyone else, have what it takes to bounce back and
find your way through whatever challenges may have obstructed you. There’s no one who doesn’t go through pitfalls,
we all do, but the key thing is to believe in your natural power and ability to
overcome any obstacle. Just how do you
begin the come back, you may wonder? As
James Allen advised, in his book As a Man Thinketh, “life is full of new
beginnings”. This means you can pause
every hour, day, month, year etc., to reconsider your strategy of life. Take a break from routine work, at the most appropriate
time for you, and undertake a self-appraisal exercise to seriously ponder over
your intentions about the future you desire.
No
doubt if your journey so far hasn’t yielded for you as per your expectations,
possibly because life threw too many challenges than you can handle, and that maybe
left some unbearable dents in your life, it’s imperative that you make the effort
to re-strategize. It may well be that when you look as far back
as where your journey started, or just where this current year begun, there's
very little to nothing at all to celebrate. Nevertheless, when it comes
to a natural and unpredictable world, like the one we live in, such
is something to be expected any period.
So, scheduling a moment or taking a break from routine work provides you
an opportunity to consider what worked or didn't work as anticipated, and to
reorganize, refocus, and make a new beginning to build the future you desire. Allow yourself to notice the enigmatic natural power that you are, then
you'll appreciate how much endless possibilities you have, to make your success
a reality. If you sense a deep burning desire
to make some noticeable life changes, going forward, now
seems the best moment to ready yourself for the new beginning. The way to begin this
process is to make conscious contact with the future you
desire or the outcomes you wish to manifest in your life.
First
Things First
Following
is a non-exhaustive list of questions to help you kick-start your
self-appraisal process and add zeal to your determination to do much better
than ever before:
- What exactly would you like to see become a reality in your life?
- What do you think must change this time around, about the way you handled your life previously?
- What notable steps are you going to take, intentionally and self-driven, to ensure that the acts and efforts you'll provide will yield the outcomes you desire?
- Just how determined are you to getting things done and going your way than perhaps looking to just repeat the same things as last?
If your journey
of life so far feels like there’s no great cause for celebration or lacks that
spark to ignite a sense of gratitude, because you just can’t figure out where
all the past days, weeks, months, years, decades etc., have gone, and you have absolutely
nothing to show for it, then it’s time to figure out a way to change course. In my view, real success is an outcome of
personal organisation, and hence to get yours, that is success, so you can have
a truly eventful and fulfilling experience of life, going forward, you must
begin each day on the right track or pathway.
Now, there’s two critical changes you must incorporate into the way
you’re set in life, that’ll keep you on target, and if you want to know about
it, just keep reading.
“You’ve done all you possibly could, really? No, it’s time
to plan-ahead!”
Step Up for You
A great and successful life is the dream of everyone,
but only those who commit and persevere, tirelessly, to get to the end of their
extra mile, make reality out of their dreams for a better life. The beginning of any form of success you anticipate,
desire, or intend, is built upon the little steps you take each day, in the
direction of your dream or expected outcomes.
If you want some form of success to reward yourself for, so you can have
a meaningfully eventful life, worth celebrating by some margin, you’ll have to
seriously get real with making sure that the little steps you undertake each
day, are configured for advancement.
That means, in the midst of every-day-busyness in your life, there must
be that 20% of activities, as defined by the Pareto Principle or 20/80
Rule, to ensure you have scheduled a moment for what matters most, in
advancing your life to some achievement.
The Pareto Principle or 20/80 Rule, if
you’re not familiar with it, stated simply, in my own words, says “of all the
activities of your every-day-busyness, in other words, whatever you’re busy
about in any given day, only 20% of those are what truly matters, and are
guaranteed to give you 80% of the results or outcomes you desire, and that
leaves 80% of your daily acts, referred in this principle as the trivial
many, accounting only for 20% of the results you want. Now, just understanding that prerequisite, for
needing to undertake, each day, key small steps of activities that matters most
to yield some achievements, is the beginning of setting yourself for a
guaranteed eventful life, worth celebrating each day. Not only that, but your dream or vision for a
better future, must be set, in your mind, exactly the same way, if it must come
to pass.
As you ponder over the deeper meaning of bringing the Pareto
Principle into your equation of life, and perhaps wonder if it’s at all
necessary to break your current rhythm of life, consider also the fact that
your moment of human life is only limited.
You therefore need a way to fuel your enthusiasm to get things going
soon, so you can turn your moment in life into a truly memorable experience. The next critical thing to do then would be to ensure that every day
becomes a moment to celebrate just that opportunity for being here in
life. This means you must
develop a proactively enthusiastic approach, in taking on your daily little
steps of advancement to your dream. How can one do that, you may wonder?
Get
Anchored on What You Are About
In my
short experience in human life, and as well lessons learnt from my teachers and
mentors, such as Dr. Wayne
Dyer, Dr. Myles Munroe, for example, it has become apparent
that the one factor one needs to zest up their life, is the element of purpose.
The latter, defines what one truly believes they were brought into life for. I found out that learning about purpose,
and finding yours, and then linking it to your engagements in life, allows for
the generation of a sense of meaning in life, and that in turn triggers a
feel-good sensation.
Being purpose-driven
is a great way to turn each day into a memorable occasion, and something to
always look forward to. All your daily
acts become moments of celebrating life, as you tap into the power that you
are, to either enhance your being through learning, or to create solutions that
meet defined needs in your life, and as well your community. If you can truly understand this structured
way of living, based on the purpose-drive, and make sure to align your purpose
for being with every act you plan to engage in, you’ll begin to
increasingly enjoy all work you do, including what in the past may have seemed
boring, hard, difficult etc. This,
simply because you now interpret your engagement in a different way, as now you
see yourself as channelling your power,
your abilities, your personal value, in a worthy and
life-enhancing way, to create results that serves life, and that specifically
representing the exact reason you were brought into life. In other words, signifying your purpose
for being. All things done on purpose
always produce a satisfactory and fulfilling experience, and if repeated each
day transforms an entire lifespan into a hugely memorable and non-regrettable
human life experience.
So, if
you can link your purpose with the little steps, you
must undertake each day i.e. your 20% activities of the Pareto Principle,
which works to yield some intermediary achievements that leads to your dream, you’ll no doubt always be in a
great celebratory mood. You’ll be looking forward to each daybreak to engage, not because you must
or else, but because it’s who you are and what you are here for. You are the power that drives and makes life
happen, and the outcome of all of this is your true natural success, and the
feeling therefrom is hugely fulfilling.
New You, New Future!
Beginning this moment then, rather than wallow in
disappointment, make effort to envision a better future. Appreciate others as they celebrate their lives
and see their success as a form of encouragement for you to organize yourself
better around opportunities. Imagine a
life in the coming future, where you can get up each day, see and appreciate
the value in you, engage such value to influence positive outcomes or
achievements in life, at home, at work, at school, or wherever you
have an opportunity to utilize your natural free flowing power of the being
that you are. Do this on purpose, and you’ll see your life
inflates with much zest.
Going
forward, throughout life in general, you’ll make success in most of what you
do, because of the associated enhancement in your levels of commitment,
resilience, and tenacity, as well as motivation and inspiration. Given that your lifespan, as an individual, is limited in this human form, it
makes much sense then that you turn every moment of your existence into a celebratory mood or occasion.
2. Get yourself enthused by the power of purpose and use the energy to drive your activities of what matters most to fruition.
