We often see those overnight successes. We compare ourselves to them; then we think we can achieve the same results. But that's not the case; many people don't get overnight success. Success is a result of the long hard hours of work. Habits and continuous improvement is what gives you what you want in your life. And while you may see other people get the type of success that you want overnight, you can't expect the same results.
Don't Be A Perfectionist
We often get tied up with this idea that we can have this perfect life and have everything done correctly. But even people who are good at their craft will still screw up sometimes. Not Every author will produce perfect books every time. Not every singer will have a perfect performance every time. Sure we could work on something all day. And maybe it comes close to perfect but at what expense?
We're left with less done.
Sometimes getting more done, At a lower quality can have many more benefits.
Don't Multitask
The biggest lie of my life is that multitasking would speed up how much you could get done in a day. Multitasking is terrible, and you get less done causing more stress on your brain. It's so much better to do one thing at a time that we can complete, that will motivate you to do more things afterward. But getting nothing done will cause you to lose motivation. Your brain is incapable of "multi-tasking." What's happening, Is our brain is rapidly switching between the 2 or 3 tasks. Which is a huge overload to our brains.
Say No
We are often afraid to say no. Whether it's to a family member or friend or colleague, we feel that they'll take it personally, or they won't like us much anymore. But the reality is, we often get too many opportunities these days. And we can pursue everything. You can also say no to all sorts of things, not just people but also opportunities.
If you accept every opportunity, then you won't progress very far in one field. This is what many people do, becoming good at a few things is sometimes better than becoming descent in a little bit of everything. Life is short; we should surround ourselves with things that we really want to do rather than things that we have to do to get by.
Get Rid Of Toxic People
There are so many toxic people these days; it seems popular to be negative as much as possible. Just look at social media such as Facebook. It's filled with so much negativity; positive posts are becoming rarer each day. Surround yourself with people who bring you up in more abundant life. If you work in a negative workplace, leave. These people drag you down! Toxic people pull you away from success; you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time around. So choose wisely
Take Risks
Some of the best things I've done in my life has been possible because I've taken a risk. Sometimes it's terrifying, like quitting your job. But it's necessary if you want to get where you want to be in life. Unless you want a life like everybody else, you're going to have to do things that are different from everyone else. And sometimes these things are uncomfortable, really scary. This is why having a backup plan is sometimes a good idea. But not even this is always possible. Sometimes you have to take the ultimate risk with no backup plan, and hope things go with for the best. The best thing about this, Is if you fail. Then you will probably learn a lot about the overall experience and know to do better next time.
Conclusion
People want easy success. But the problem is many people don't get easy success, most of us will have to work extremely hard for it. And it will be worth it! Don't become frustrated, as the things that you are doing aren’t paying off. Sometimes it takes a different approach, and a new plan will change everything. Learn all that you can, sometimes the people doing better than you just know something that you don't.
