1. First, Eat the Frog!
Do the most difficult thing on your to-do list first thing in the morning!
2. Change Your Attitude
Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us. The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem! Change your attitude about things and you’ll change your life dramatically in no time.
3. Work Smarter, Not Harder
Embrace your goals and tasks day and night and rewrite or edit them as necessary, but do not completely change them. Having your daily to-do list will help you stay organized and make work easier!
4. No Pain, No Gain
You may be tempted to quit right before the finish line, so remind yourself how quitters aren’t successful. The most successful people are those that keep going even when they want to quit.
5. Be Okay with Letting Go
At such a young age and with such a debilitating disease, Sam Berns, a 17-year-old that suffered from Progeria couldn’t have said it better. He definitely knew the secret to happiness!
6. Surround Yourself with the Right People
Call those people you enjoy being around and invite them out to coffee! Join some local organizations where you can network and socialize with like-minded individuals and you’ll wonder why you haven’t done this earlier.
7. Keep Moving Forward
Go through this for another two weeks and it’ll be like second nature to you! Here are the things you should have accomplished by the end of the week:
- Determine a definite monthly goal.
- Create a weekly stepping stone.
- Create a daily to-do list the day before, preferably.
- Rewrite and edit your goals daily, as necessary.
- Reflect and mediate.
- Stay motivated.
