Enjoy Your Work

Ask yourself this question: “If every job paid the same wage, which job would I choose?” Answering this question will free you from money’s influence and allow you to discover what it is you truly love to do. You still may say, “I don’t know what I love.” That’s understandable, so answer these questions to start discovering the right direction.

• If you could do one thing all day at work, what would it be?
• If you could do any job or full-time activity without pay, what would it be?
• What type of work or activity gives you the greatest joy and satisfaction?
• For what would you like to be known?

Doing what you love is your choice. No one can make you do anything. If you don’t like what you do and you continued simply because of money, begin a pursuit of what you want to do. It will take time, but even a one thousand mile journey starts with the first step.

One final reason men and women do not do what they want is fear—fear of failure—fear of not making enough money—fear of the unfamiliar. The only way to overcome fear is to face it. The giant named FEAR always seems more terrible than he really is. Run toward your giant and face him head on.

Do what you love, and your life will be fulfilled. Go after your dreams. Live with passion and never settle for something you ultimately don’t love to do. Can you imagine actually waking up wanting to go to work? I do, and I believe the same can be true for you!

Simple Steps To Stop Procrastination In Your Life

Here are five simple steps to take, to overcome procrastination:

1. Identify what you procrastinated.

2. Know why you procrastinated.

Ask yourself: Why do I procrastinate? What is the reason I put off something until tomorrow? Why haven’t I taken action?

3. Become serious.

How committed are you to overcoming procrastination? What price are you willing to pay? Your desire determines the degree of victory you have in conquering the challenge. Remember, action is the only cure for procrastination.

4. Imagine how you will feel after you complete the task.

Spend some time thinking about how you will feel after that task is accomplished. This will enhance your motivation to act. For example, suppose you have been procrastinating cleaning the closet. Take a moment and imagine how it would feel if that closet were clean. If you give yourself a little mental incentive, you’ll find yourself motivated to finish the task.

5. Take Action.

Have you ever heard someone say, “Tomorrow I am going to…”? Og Mandino, in his book University of Success, says, “Unfortunately there is no tomorrow. It can only be found in the calendars of fools.” When does tomorrow come? Remember, yesterday is in the tomb and tomorrow is in the womb; therefore we must live in the present, because when we reach tomorrow it will be called today! Action and procrastination cannot exist together. Either you take action or you procrastinate. Here are some techniques to taking action:

• Make a decision to live in the present. Think long-term, but take action today.

• Invest the time to start whatever you postponed. Take five minutes of your day and start.

• Give yourself a deadline to get it done.

• Tell someone your goal and ask him or her to hold you accountable to that deadline.

• Imagine yourself taking action. See yourself doing it.

• Eliminate the negative self-talk from your mind. Replace those negative thoughts with, “I am a person of action.” “I will do it now.” “I take action immediately.” These thoughts will become reality if you keep them in the center of your attention.

• Ask someone to take action with you. Get a partner to help you stay on track. Everyone needs support and encouragement.

The Greatest Law of Success — Pursuit

You Will Only Possess What You Passionately Pursue

Pursuit

This principle of pursuit governs my entire life. Although many people desire to succeed, few are willing to pay the price to pursue it. Excelling in life and achieving your greatest dreams will require you to adopt key principles that will bring those dreams to pass.

Possess

Whatever you possess in life right now can be attributed to one simple fact: you were willing to give your time and attention to acquire it. In the same way, whatever you do not possess reveals what you weren’t willing to invest your time to attain.

Pay The Price

If you truly desire something, you will pursue it. If you don’t go after it, it is safe to say you really don’t want it. Sure, there are exceptions to this rule, but for the majority of us, if we want something bad enough, we’ll find a way to get it. How bad do you want to succeed? How bad to you want to make an impact with your life? How bad do you want to achieve all your dreams-strong family, to be happy, to have a sense of peace and a feeling of significance? Realize, whatever you desire to possess, you must be willing to pursue.

TAKE ACTION:

1. Have you diligently pursued your dreams?

2. What has kept you from pursuing after your dreams and goals?

3. Who are the top three people that can help you achieve your dreams?

Here are some principles on Pursuit:

• You Will Only Possess What You Passionately Pursue

• The Destiny Of Your Life Is Sculpted By The Chisel Of Your Decisions.

• The Rewards You Enjoy In Life Depend Entirely Upon The Dreams You Pursue.
