If you want to be successful, which I assume you do if you're here to begin with, then
you have to be prepared to make sacrifices for that success.
It's not always fun or easy to give things up, but doing so can set you up to have the
success you crave and achieve more in life.
Therefore, in this video we look at 5 things you should give up to be successful...
1.
Leisure - Love games, TV, movies or just relaxing
with friends and family, well while I don't suggest giving up all leisure entirely, you
will need to make sacrifices - What this means is to limit how long you
play games or watch TV for, limiting it to at the most around 30 minutes each day in
order to give you time on what's important to you
- Likewise, while you should spend time with friends and family, you may need to say 'no'
to them more frequently, as it takes a lot of energy and time to do
- That might mean saying no to night's out so that you can focus and work on what's important
to you, though the odd occasion here and there isn't just recommended, but a necessity in
my view
2.
Excuses - I don't have time, I don't have money, I
don't have the tools, it wasn't my fault, it was beyond my control...it doesn't matter
what it is, these are all excuses for not progressing to your goal
- As Tony Robbins says, we don't lack resources, we lack resourcefulness, and it's critical
to have the mindset to use the hand your dealt with to work regardless
- You can't always have it your way and if you wait for opportune moments, you'll never
reach your goals and be successful in what you want to do
- So don't wait and take action, using what you have, and not worrying about what you
don't.
After all, you may not be at fault for your circumstance, but you are responsible for
making your life better
3.
Your Need to be Liked - If you do something important or you do
something that's out of the ordinary, then you won't get acceptance for your choice from
everyone around you - While we all want to be liked, it's simply
not possible to always cater to everyone's individual need, so you need to accept you'll
have your detractors - This may not even be down to you either,
but for many, it's a defence mechanism to not have to deal with their own insecurities
or like of direction and action in life - ...and often it's easier to try and pull
others down, than to pull yourself up, which is why they choose to take on toxic behaviour
and be unsupportive
4.
Multitasking - Simply put, many of us try to take on too
much in life and try to juggle too many things at a given time, whether it be in your life
in general, or in the immediate moment - While we usually think we're being productive,
we're naturally suited for multitasking, where we naturally do a lesser quality job or do
our tasks more slowly - Instead, develop your ability to focus,
even if for a relatively short period of time, as doing so will yield significantly greater
results than trying to multitask - All successful people have learnt the value
of focus and concentration, many building their successes on the back of the principle
5.
Comfort - You are often left with a couple of choices
in life, either doing what's hard and grinding through the challenge, or doing what's easy
and relaxing - While the latter might appear more appealing
much of the time, the short term gain you get from it is unlikely to leave you fulfilled
or satisfied in the long term - Likewise, while the hard choice is painful
in the short term, the long term results it yields will likely leave you feeling happier
with greater satisfaction - So rather than doing what's easy, leading
to a harder life, choose to do what's hard, which will lead you to an easier life
Have you given any of these up or plan to?
