13 excellent tips to make tomorrow better than
today!
1. Apply What You Learn
“Knowing is not
enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
How many people do
you know that read a lot of books and spend a lot of time buying courses, but
never apply the knowledge they learn?
You may even
notice these tendencies in your life? It’s hard to take action and apply what you learn,
because we’re all afraid of failure, and taking action can be paralyzing from
time to time.
However, success
in life or business doesn’t happen until you use the knowledge that you
have inside of you. Most of us have exactly what we need to get to our goals,
but we make excuses not to even get started.
2. Learn, Discard, Create
“Absorb what is
useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own.”
It’s all well and
good to learn from others, but it’s not until you take action that you discover what
works and doesn’t.
When you discover
what doesn’t work, you simply discard it and keep going. When you keep moving
forward, you will create your own path.
Living a
successful life is all about experimenting and trying new things. The more
things you try, the closer you will get to true success. To truly succeed you must be willing to fail!
3. Simplicity
“Simplicity is the
key to brilliance.” Vince Lombardi said it best –“To win/succeed in
sport and life is to be ‘brilliant
at the basics’
If you can
simplify your life, your goals, and your tasks, you will not only be happier,
you will also get more done and be more successful! Plus you will end up
concentrating on the stuff that gets the results.
If you’re trying to go
after multiple things at once, you will end up accomplishing none of them. Pick
one thing that’s the most important to you and go after that.
The funny thing about
focusing on one goal is that it seems that you’re neglecting all
the others aspects of your life, but when you focus on one goal, magically the
other aspects of your life improves, sometimes dramatically.
4. Break Barriers
We all have
negative beliefs that stop us from being as successful in life as we would
like.
The only person
holding you back is you. Once you become comfortable with overcoming your Fears
-you will start seeing dramatic success in your life.
One of the most
common characteristics of successful people is that they are willing to try new
things and face their fears. They are not fearless; they are merely willing to do what
it takes.
5. Be Open-Minded
“Take no thought of
who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.”
There’s no right or
wrong in the universe. It’s completely subjective.
Getting caught up
in the drama of who is right or wrong or who is better than will only distract
you from reaching your goals and creating a successful life.
Stay open to new possibilities, and the
viewpoints of others. You can never know what you will learn when you explore
things you at first thought were pure nonsense.
6. Contribute
“Real living is
living for others.”
We all have our
unique gifts that we can use to make the world a better place. These are
usually talents and skills you have that you are very good at, and that you
like to do.
It doesn’t matter if you
like to make jewelry or if you enjoy cooking, because everything is connected
to everything else.
7. Manage Your Time
“If you love life,
don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
We are surrounded
by distractions, such as e-mail, Twitter, and Facebook. They are great at
connecting us to each other, but they distract us from what is truly important.
Learn to manage
your time, and get
the most valuable tasks done before you start to play.
You can often
double, triple, or even quadruple your productivity by using just a few simple
time management tools!
8. Be Flexible
“Notice that the
stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by
bending with the wind.”
Life will throw
curve balls at you, so you have to get used to being flexible. The more comfortable
you can be with being uncomfortable, the faster you will grow as a
human being and the more success you will have in life.
This is exactly
what distinguishes successful people from unsuccessful ones. Successful people
are more willing to be uncomfortable, because they know that that is the
fastest path to their goals.
Whenever you bump
into something that makes you feel bad, stay flexible, and find the positive in
the situation. I’ve found that most of the problems in my life are
blessings in disguise.
The only thing
separating positivity from negativity is time.
9. Set Goals
“A goal is not
always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at.”
If you want to
advance you first have to know what you want. For the longest time I avoided
setting goals, because I thought it was unnecessary.
It wasn’t until recently
that I discovered that goal setting can not only make me more productive, it
can also dramatically increase the clarity I have.
Ask me
about SMART goals?
10. Control Your Thoughts
“As you think, so
shall you become?”
What you think
about comes to you - If you’re constantly being negative, you will draw more
negativity into your life.
Instead of
focusing on the negative, think about what you want to get out of life and focus on
the positive.
This is another
way of telling you that you have to set goals and focus on those goals as often
as possible. The results you will get by doing this will be dramatic.
Most people sit
around whining about their miserable life, and then they wonder why nothing
good ever happens to them.
11. Take Action
“If you spend too
much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
Don’t over analyze and
over think. Take
massive determined Action!
Most people that
try to get things perfect never get started at all.
12. Allow
“I’m not in this
world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this
world to live up to mine.”
It’s easy to get
stuck on what other people would think of you if you became successful. Most
people are so afraid of this that they never rise above mediocrity.
It is not up to
you to make people happy. You can only make yourself happy, and the way
others react is just the way they will react.
Don’t let other people
dictate how you live your life. Determine what you want, go after it, and don’t look back.
13. Create Your Own Destiny
“To hell with
circumstances; create opportunities.”
No Excuses -nothing happens until you stop
blaming your circumstances or people in your life, and take control of your
life.
It is up to you to
take responsibility for your life and create your own opportunities. You may
not be able to do exactly what you want right now, but you have the opportunity
to take steps toward it.
No one will create
the dream life for you. You have to do it yourself.
14. Be You
“Always be
yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for
a successful personality and duplicate it.”
When you try to be someone you’re not, you will only attract people into your life that are not in
harmony with you.
When you are you,
and that includes the weird things about you, you will find that the most
amazing and interesting people start popping up in your life.
Sometimes this may
take years, and sometimes it can happen in just a few days. Let whatever
happens be okay and go with the flow.
