Find the time
There is a principle in Buddhist philosophy: any business starts with little. The jug is to be filled gradually, drop by drop. Each master once was an amateur. If you are consistent and patient, believe me: you will push things along! No one can succeed in just one night or a week: Success comes to those who are willing to start with little and work hard until the jug is filled up.
Dedicate one hour in the morning for your self-improvement.Start to get up early.
During this hour: meditate, pray, visualize your day, find the inspirational texts that set the tone for your businesses, listen to motivational records or read books of the great people. This time will be your "golden hour". Use it for filling up your spirit with strength and energy for implementation of your plans. Once a week, watch the sunrise or go outside to meet the nature. You will have time to think and build the tactics of the day.
A very good morning - is an effective way of self-renewal.
Remember what Aristotle said: "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
World expert Brian Tracy determines five components, which are always present in his every day:
Meditation.You can sit on the lake shore, listen to music, find activity that calms you down.
Exercise (charge).Even a small exercise in the morning helps to bring the body in tonus and organize the thoughts.
Goal visualization.Always and every day you need to visualize something you want.
Reading. No matter how long you spend - 5 minutes or a few hours. Also, no matter what kind of book, it can be business or adventure book or even book about relation - any reading develops your mind.
"Golden Hour."The main rule: you need to perform the most important things in the first part of the day. These things are different for each of you.
Brian advises to get up early to make the most of the day and have time to use energy efficiently. It does not matter how old you are, the main thing you need to know is what kind of success you need. Here are three simple rules: 1. Decide 2. Believe, 3. Act. And never give up - then you will continue to grow forever.
What does the mind flexibility mean?
Try instead of entertaining yourself by simple games, play chess. It is not a problem if you do not have a partner, there are many services nowadays that allow you to play at different levels with a virtual partner or with the computer.
By the way, I'm not saying that games, including the computer ones, are bad. Not at all, many of them are real masterpieces. I am talking about more complex games, as they help to develop mind flexibility. I consider puzzles and highly intelligent strategies as effective games. However, do not overplay, otherwise you will become an addicted person. 32-year-old Andrey, resident of Kiev, is famous by spending 0 years of his life to pass the World of Warcraft (popular online game). He played so long that even did not notice that a revolution happened in the Ukraine.
To develop the mind flexibility, it is important to think, improve memory, enhance creative abilities and study various areas. If you have never read philosophical works, start reading them right away. You may find it difficult to understand and assimilate new ideas, but here is the task: to discover something unknown and expand horizons. In this case, nothing would go a miss - the more you will know about the world and people outside, the more obvious would your own internal world become for yourself.
Knowledge are only conditionally divided into separate areas, for example, history and mathematics. If you start to understand both subjects, you would be able at the junction of two sciences invent something new and useful for the humanity. By the way, on this subject, I would recommend the book of scientists V. Chan Kim and Renee Moborna "Blue Ocean Strategy". If you have not read it, you are lucky, because you still have a chance to immerse yourself into a very interesting and effective theory of the niche selection.
Decide what needs to be changed for the better
If you are owner of your own business, then your goal can be to improve the product or service quality, customer service program or advertising. Perhaps you would like to improve your computer skills, typing speed, sales or negotiations skills. At home you would like to improve your parenting, communication or cooking skills. You may also focus on your health, the piano playing, the ability to invest and manage your money. It is possible that you wish to achieve a peace of mind through meditation, yoga and prayer.
Think about exactly what you want to change and what needs to be done to achieve results. Is it mastering a new skill? Then you might consider necessary to enroll at the evening department of the university. Or maybe you want to find an extra hour a week to focus on their constant development. Ask yourself every day:
"What can I improve today?"
"How can I reach a greater success than before?"
"Where can I get a new skill or become more competent? "
By doing so, you will keep improving yourself whole life and finally achieve the success.
