The Jantar Mantar Protests: Patience, Purpose, Productivity

 The Jantar Mantar Protests: Patience, Purpose, Productivity   1. Change takes time. Change is a process that takes time. The demonstrators at Jantar Mantar may stay there for days, weeks or even months, raising loud voices for a cause that they believe in. Change does not come in a flash. It is the same with our individual aims. Successful outcomes, whether in pursuit of a competitive exam, career or health, takes time. Productivity is showing up and showing up regularly, even when you don't see the results. 2. When a strong purpose lasts longer than a short-term motivation. The motivation doesn't last for a whole day, so people don't go on protesting all day long. They persist since they have a definite purpose. Motivation dies down in life but purpose does not. If you know the reason for working toward something it is easier to have discipline during bad days. 3. Every little thing adds up to something greater. A movement is formed of many voices. Similarly, a sing...

A point from Argentina vs. Switzerland: what it has to say about life and productivity.

A point from Argentina vs. Switzerland: what it has to say about life and productivity Goals and trophies aren't the only things football is made of. Each match has a narrative and when we listen, we learn something about life. This was one of those games, Argentina vs. Switzerland. But it was not only about skill, it was about patience, discipline, resilience and believing till the end. When you are not in a hurry, you are more likely to be successful. Not all opportunities are goals. Argentina had opportunities but didn't rush, nor lose their composure when they didn't get what they wanted. They believed in the process and played their game. It's the same with life. Many times we want fast outcomes from our work. Whether you are taking exams, growing a career or making an attempt to get healthier, it does not occur overnight. Those who are patient and persevere will make progress, regardless of whether the outcomes seem to be invisible. 1. Consistency Creates Opportun...

One Good Day Won't Change Your Life Consistent Days will

One Good Day Won't Change Your Life Consistent Days will   1. Success is built one day at a time   Success is achieved by one day at a time. People wait for the right time to begin being successful at their goals. They think that they must be motivated before they act. Motivation, however, comes and goes, and is temporary. The thing that changes your life is when you show up every single day, even when you don't feel like it. Doing one thing, reading one page, doing ten minutes of exercise could be quite trivial, but it adds up. It is not always the best performers who win but rather the most consistent.   2. Demonstrate strong sense of identity through small habits.   Each one of your actions is a vote for the person you want to be. In the morning and in the day-to-day, you're saying to yourself, "I am a keeper of promises. If you finish the most important thing that you have to do before you are tempted to do something else, you are developing discipline. These hab...

Why Discipline beats Motivation – The Secret to Long-Term Success

Image
Why Discipline beats Motivation – The Secret to Long-Term Success There's always that time when we feel motivated. We start the new year with an inspiring video, or quote, and we're off and running. However, that enthusiasm quickly dissipates after a couple of days. The alarm sounds less loud, the gym is more convenient to put off, and work that we've been putting off remains on our to-do list. Here is where most give up. The reality is, motivation is fleeting but discipline is consistent. Why Discipline beats Motivation – The Secret to Long-Term Success What is the difference? Motivation is an emotion. It goes when it feels right, when it's time, when it's in your head, and it doesn't when it's not. Discipline is a way of doing things. It enables you to act when you feel you don't have the urge. Successful people are not productive people who are always motivated. The reason they're productive is that they have established systems that enable ...
