Let’s get this straight. You can only be as successful as you the minimum amount of effort you’re willing to put in. And you definitely can’t have what you don’t work for.
As for what being successful looks like? Well, that’s up to you. What’s deemed success will differ from person to person, but you have to define it. And if you define it, you will know what you’re working towards, or else, you’ll just be moving aimlessly.
Maybe you have an idea you’ve been sitting on for a while now, but you can’t bring yourself to act on it. Or, maybe you set goals at the beginning of January, and you're already finding it tough to keep up with. And, if the latter is the case, then check out this post for practical ways to keep up with your resolutions and goals.
Sometimes it's as simple as saying if you don’t want it bad enough, you won’t get it. That's harsh, but no less the truth.
Making excuses for not doing something won’t get you anywhere either. If something is important to you, work towards it until you make it. There has to be a reason why you wanted it so badly in the beginning. Focus on that reason.
There are so many of us who have dreams and goals, yet sometimes we are our biggest obstacle. The reasons usually come down to fear and self-doubt.
You know, failing isn't so bad. In fact, it's rather helpful, actually. At the end of the day, it's not failing but learning. Your only options are to learn or win, even if it takes a few tries. If the fear of failure is a struggle for you, READ THIS.
Remember:
Fear will stop you. Get rid of it.
Keep your head in the game. Don’t make excuses.
It’s okay to be a beginner or to not know what you’re doing. It's part of the journey.
