The True Meaning Of Productivity

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Productivity leads to success. It leads to growth. It leads to expansion. It leads to a better, creative life.

If it is that powerful, then what does it mean to you? Does it mean doing more things? Does it mean running around? Or does it mean getting busy?

Or does it mean paying attention to what is really happening in your life? What do you think?

To me, productivity is not about doing many things. Productivity is not about running around. It is not about getting busy. It is not about doing nothing. It is not about trying to show up.

Productivity is about you. It is about how you live your life, how you manage your time. It is about paying attention to things that are important to you, that have the power to change your life.

Productivity is about spending quality time with quality people. It is about doing quality work with quality people.

Productivity is about doing more with less. It is about doing more with what you have. It is about saying ‘no’ to what doesn’t matter.

If you want to make a difference in your life, you want to see the world differently, then you must be productive.

Yes, you have it. The issue is: you do not listen to it. You don’t do it. You prefer to pay attention to all the noise around you.

That is why most of us are not making progress. That is why we are where we are. That is why we are not working together. That is why love is so scarce.

To make progress, you must be honest with yourself. You must listen to what is going on within you. Because that is where success is. That is where you live.

According to Maulana, ‘… if we seek to progress outwardly, we must first strengthen ourselves inwardly.’ He is right. To hear yourself, you must listen to yourself.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to listen to yourself?
