“Every day, stand guard at the door of your mind.”- Jim Rohn
It’s impossible to thrive in the world of rapid change and insane interconnectedness without building an effective defence perimeter around your mind.
Developing these following skills will set you apart from the crowd and keep you standing tall:
Ability to self-motivate
There will always be days when you don’t feel like getting out of bed, a lot of them. There will be days when you don’t want to get back to the grind. There are going to be days when you will feel like you are not making any progress. Those are the days that show the difference between those who are going to make it and those who’ll find excuses for their failures.
Discipline
Success is the sum of small actions repeated over extended periods of time. No matter how small of a step you make every day, give it enough time and you’ll reach your destination. Most people are not consistent. They don’t run the course, they don’t play the long game and get distracted by shiny objects. The temptation is always big to jump on a new fad and start over. But even if you start making some progress there, another shiny object will pass by and you’ll want to follow that instead. Discipline helps you stay the course and finish what you started.
Time management
Success in life is determined by the ability to make use of the resources you have on hand and time is one of those resources. Every day, you vote with your time how you wish your life to be. If you could design your life exactly the way you want it to be, what would that look like? Sadly, most people go through life as complete strangers to themselves.
