Beat Down that WALL

So you have crossed the 1st hurdle, you started putting your words to action. You have started taking daily strides towards achieving your goal. Suddenly you have hit a plateau. You have made so much progress but now you don't seem to be moving forward anymore. You feel like you have hit a wall. You are putting in so much effort but, you don't appear to be advancing beyond where you are.

Now just imagine that you have just met a road block in your journey towards your destination. You have a few choices here
  • Turn back 
  • Stand at the road block lost in deep thought
  • Find an alternative route to your destination
  • Smash the road block down with every tool you have available
Whatever the action you decide to take, it has profound consequences for your dream. If you decide to quit, you may never pick up the courage to start again. If you decide to go forward, to beat down the wall, to crush that challenge...you could unlock an entirely new era in your life which is more fulfilling.

The overriding question is the issue of interest versus commitment. If you are only interested in achieving your dream, you will only justify the reasons it won't work BUT, if you are committed to achieving your goals in life then, no matter the obstacles that come your way you are willing to knuckle down, get to work and find a way to get through that tough time. 

It is completely human and natural to feel the need to limit our exposure to dangers and alien situations. However, in the place of comfort lies complacency, familiarity and laziness. Our goals will take us out of our comfort zone and launch us into new territories.

It is time to stare that wall down. Beat it down and launch your self into the the next chapter of your life.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: 21 Time Management Tips to Hack Productivity

Image
By  Jordan Bates   Synopsis “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr. A lot of folks in our society try to be hyper-productive. You know — the people who scurry from task to task, always checking e-mail, organizing something, making a call, running an errand, etc. The people who do this often subscribe to the idea that “staying busy” means you’re working hard and are going to be more successful. While this belief may be true to an extent, it often leads to mindless “productivity” — a constant need to do something and a tendency to waste time on menial tasks. Instead of behaving in this way, I choose to do things differently. Working Smarter, Not Harder The old adage, “work smarter, not harder” has become a staple in the way I go about work of an...

We Should Admire Success, Whether It’s Ours or Somebody Else’s by Paul June

Did someone change the dictionary and not bother to tell me? Methinks so, because “success” seems to have become a four-letter word overnight. When I was growing up (you know, back in the day when we had to walk 20 miles to school, uphill both ways), success was something to be admired, something to strive for. But now, success seems to be something to view with contempt and scorn, as though someone else’s success must have happened at the expense of your good fortune (or someone else’s). Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the good outweigh the bad by far. Success should be celebrated, admired, honored.  Why?  When someone gets a bonus at work, or some other form of recognition, are you happy for him or her—even when you get no such recognition? Or do you become overwhelmed with the feeling of sour grapes  (or bananas) , wishing it was you in the spotlight? What about when a family member or friend is the center of attention at your latest gatherin...
