You reap what you sow

I've been listening to a lot of motivational audiobooks. The lastest one You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor, not a new release by any means. He talks about the saying "you reap what you sow". He explains it in a way I haven't heard before. He says "you sow in a season and you reap in a season but you don't do both in the same season". He goes on to say that most people give up too fast and that success has more to do with grit than anything else. I know for me when I've been working hard on something and get antsy for the reward and at times I feel I must not be doing something right or that it's not meant to be because nothing is happening (or at least not how or when I want it to). When I look back at all the things that I tried to do or become I notice a pattern. That pattern is I get so far and then stop, quit, maybe do something else.

How many of us have given up before the miracle? If we had just hanged in there a little bit longer, taken one step further, we could have achieved our goals, our dreams.

I sit here and I ponder this. The voice in my head sometimes tells me "it's too late, you have no special skill or talent, you've quit at everything". Does your voice ever sound like that? I urge you to practice the STFU mantra.

It's not that our minds want to sabotage or cripple us, quite the contrary. It's trying to protect us, keep us safe. The problem is our minds don't know the difference between a big grizzly chasing us from asking for a raise. So we need to be aware, we need to tell our minds at times to STFU. This my friend like anything else takes practice. Yes, Grit takes practice. Now some people learn this very early on and some people like me learn it a little later in life but the sad truth is others never learn it at all. If you are still breathing and because you are reading this I'm pretty sure you are. It's not too late.

Join me in my STFU mantra and keep keeping on!!

Wasting Time With Micro Timewasters

I t's funny how we notice when we waste time on a large scale. We notice that we spend an hour on social media or watch TV for three hours. However, these aren’t the only ways we waste time. We waste time in dozens of ways each day. Many of these time wasters aren’t always obvious, but the time can really add up over the course of a day, a week, or a decade. Your time is your most valuable commodity. Think about it, you can always make more money, but you can never make more time. We all have the same 24 hours a day. So in order to make the most of it, we need to be very cautious about time wasters. Don’t let your time just be frittered away! Imagine how much you could accomplish in that time! What could you do that really matters to you? Guard your time from the micro timewasters with these strategies: 1. Always have a phone charger with you. How many times a week do you need a phone charger and have to go into the other room to fetch it? Have multiple chargers and keep th...
