How To Get More Important Things Done

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

You can do more. You have what it takes to do more, to get more important things done. Getting busy is good. It is not a bag thing. The question is, ‘What are we busy doing?’

Just getting busy for the sake of getting busy is not going to get you what you want. You are not going to be able to achieve your dreams by doing the wrong things.

You are not going to arrive at where you are going if you are on the wrong path. Unless you change what you are doing, what you are getting is going to stay the same.

Unless you change your thoughts, your actions are going to stay the same. Unless you change what you are doing right now, where you are going is not going to change. Your results are not going to change.

To change where you are going, to get more done, get yourself together. Get your thoughts together. Do not worry about your results. Because what you are doing right now is not the end of your growth. It is just the beginning of your growth. And no one can grow, no one can do more if we are not willing to fail, if we are scared to be who we are. And if we are not willing to make ourselves uncomfortable.

To get more done, ask yourself, ‘What is it that I really want to achieve in my life? What is stopping me from doing it? Why am I not there yet? What is holding me back? How am I going to get over what is holding me back? What am I going to do? Who can help me?

Be real when you are answering the above questions. Do not lie. If you lie, you will never grow. Why is that? Because growth starts with honesty.

Say positive things to yourself. When you are going through challenges, say something like, ‘I can do this. I have done it before.’ Positive words relaxe our nerves. Negative words depress our nerves.

To get more done, focus on what is important to you, what you want to get done. When it comes to getting more done, it is not about more. It is about doing what is important to you, not what is urgent.

Remember, when it comes to getting more done, activity is not productivity. Do not forget that.

How To Start Afresh In Life

Nothing is more important than this moment. Do not play with it. Do whatever you can to enjoy it. Do not focus on what has happened to you in the past. You can learn from it, but do not allow your past to affect what is going on in your life right now.

When it comes to moving forward, where you are now is more important than where you were yesterday. Whatever it is that has happened to you in the past, leave it there. You can learn from it, but do not stay there.

That is not to say that your past is not important. It is important. Where you are going is more important. Focus on where you are going. It is a chance to start a new life, to experience a new life.

But if you do not focus on what you are doing right now, where you are right now, meeting the right people right now, taking actions right now, you will miss what is happening right in front of you.

Remember that fresh things don’t happen in the past. If you want to see new things, if you want to experience new things, new experiences, you have got to enjoy the present moment.

Enjoy the present moment. Your past is behind you. The present moment is what you are experiencing right now. The present moment is what you are going through right now.

Your future is yet to come. It is not there yet. If you want it to be better than today, you have got to do things differently.

If you do not change anything, then nothing is going to change in your life. You can’t change your life if you keep doing the same thing. You can’t move your life forward if you keep doing the same thing. You can’t live a better life if you are not willing to change what is not working for you. You can’t fly higher than your thoughts. You can’t enjoy your life if you are hanging around lazy people. You can’t move your life forward if you are not willing to leave your comfort zone. You can’t enjoy the present moment if you are not willing to leave your past behind you. And you can’t find positive people if you are still hanging around negative people.

Look, if you want your future to be different, to experience a new life, you must leave your past behind you. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’ If not, why not?

If yes, congratulations!
