How To Have A Perfect Day (2)

If you really want to be more productive and make an impact in life, the first thing to do is to draw a demarcation between being busy and focusing on results. I've found that when I focus on results, I ensure that the right things get done, all the time.

After making an honest assessment of what will throw you off track and banishing the interlopers from your battlefield as reflected in our previous discourse, you want to adopt a system of rules that will help you control your schedule and put things in perspective.

The best way to do this is to create a "TO-DO LIST" Outline all your important activities for the day including the daily rituals you must undertake to realize your dreams, and tick each item off once the task is completed.

If you're not used to moving around with diaries, then the 'spreadsheet program' on your laptop or the 'To-Do/NotePad/Reminder Apps' on your mobile devices are powerful tools to get you started.

The idea is that when you commit to your rules and schedules, you'll have greater strength to overcome temptation. Rules are stronger than willpower. Rules are better than habits. Rules are essential to your success.

So deliver yourself from temptation, remove the bad habits from your life, replace them with positive rituals and strict rules, and you'll be on track to better days fast.

Have an amazing day!

Focus On The First Step

If you ask me if success in life is easy to come by, I'll simply tell you the obvious: NO! But if you focus on the first step of whatever you want to achieve, the most difficult part would have been taken care of. Here is an interesting story to buttress my point. One day, I was at a camp meeting and I met this aspiring writer. I asked him how his book was coming along. "I didn't really getting started… I'm not sure my stuff will be good enough…" He was so insecure about his writing that he didn't even START writing anything. It's hard to become good at something you don't practice. I just explained to him that what really matters is taking the first step. The first step is really all that matters. If you can be the man or woman who always takes the first step, you become a force of nature. That's a really counter-intuitive secret to success. Every success I've had in my life was created because I took this first step. ...

Water Your Dreams

There’s an old saying by Lao Tzu that says: "Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear, and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions, and you will cultivate success." We all have dreams, and it's a good thing. The spirit needs to believe in something higher and bigger. The most important thing in life is to work a little bit every day on your dream. It doesn't matter if it's 15 minutes or 2 hours. Every day, we must make progress on our dream. Every day, we need to water our dreams for them to grow. You'll be amazed at how far your dreams can take you when you do something small in their direction on a daily basis. Every day, invest at least 15 minutes and make progress on a dream you have. Even if it's crazy. It could be reading a book, sending an email, doing a Google search, making a phone call, writing the first line of the book you dream to write. Any...
