Motivation and Success Strategies

Stop Procrastinating, Start Living

Everyone procrastinates. We usually do it to avoid a task that’s unpleasant or daunting. But when procrastinating starts to interfere with performance at work–by causing us to feel worried, fearful, and stressed-out, or by causing others to feel anxious because we’re holding up progress–then it’s time to stop putting the task aside and get on with it.

Here are 10 ways to get out of the quicksand of procrastination and reap numerous benefits, which include improved productivity, enhanced mood, less stress, better coworker relationships, a sense of accomplishment, and restored reputation at work as a “doer.”

Success Lesson: The Power of Transparency

Motivation

No one likes to broadcast that they don’t know something or that they’re not totally up to the task. In fact, we go to great lengths to show the contrary.

Governments have risen and fallen; lives have been devastated, and mistakes have been amplified simply because someone wasn’t humble enough to say “I don’t know.” Transparency is not a novelty accessory but a mandatory ingredient for a person of character. Our world has grown content with truth-benders and fact dodgers, but if we plan to leave a lasting legacy, it starts with the quality of transparency.

A Step Beyond Motivation

Motivation

Taking action is the key to success and for many people, they rely on feeling motivated in order to take action. When we’re motivated, doing what needs to be done is easy. The challenge shows up when our level of motivation isn’t where we need it to be and as a result, at least for most people, the level of action taken decreases and even stops.

How to fall in love with negative feedback

Motivation

You have been working hard to create a sales report to give to your boss. As soon as you return the report to her, she calls you and wants you to visit her room for a couple of minutes.

The topic of the meeting is your report and why your boss is not happy about it. She thinks that you could do much better and gives you some negative (but constructive) feedback about your work.

You go to your desk again, but you find it hard to concentrate on your work. You keep thinking about the feedback you just got.

How To Make Your Dreams A Reality

Motivation

We all got dreams. Some of us have small dreams and others have big dreams. I personally advocate big dreams since they allow us to reach a level of greatness. Nonetheless, we all have some sort of dream, regardless of scope. Life in my perspective is all about capturing these dreams and living out the life we always wanted.

Some people get discouraged by the obstacles in their way and others never seem to muster up the courage to get started. They die with a dream, they don’t die having lived out their dream.

The Secret To Keeping Good Habits

Motivation

For the last two weeks, I woke up at 8 AM. For some of you, that’s sleeping in, but for me it’s early. I plan to eventually scale this back to as early as 5:30 AM.

I will keep this early riser habit, but it isn’t because of what I’m doing – it is because of what I’m not doing.

You Can Face Life with Optimism

Motivation

I’ve heard it said, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.”

After years of overcoming sizable obstacles and constantly surprising myself with resilience, I have learned that this statement is quite true. Often, it is our perception of ourselves before the test that determines how we come out of the test. It always amazes me how people deem themselves as failures long before the challenge is under way.

Especially when they have no previous historical facts that the outcome they fear will actually happen the way they imagine.
