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.

Discipline Yourself To Get What You Want

When it comes to success, when it comes to growth, when it comes to getting better, when it comes to getting smarter, and when it comes to living a meaningful life, you have what you need to make your life happen.

You have you. You have your mind. You have everything. Because your mind is your biggest asset. It is your sharpest weapon. So learn how to use it to your advantage.

Use your mind to discipline yourself. Without self-discipline, success is not going to happen. Why?

Because success follows discipline. When you discipline yourself, you are more likely to succeed in your life. When you don’t discipline yourself, you are less likely to succeed in your life.

So, what is discipline? It is not what you think it is. It is more than what you think it is.

Discipline is a mindset. Discipline is doing what is difficult. It is doing what others don’t want to do.

Discipline means working on what is important to you. When others are playing, you are working. When others are sleeping, you are working.

Discipline means getting out of your comfort zone to make yourself vulnerable, to do what you don’t want to do. To face your fears. To develop yourself.

Discipline means you are being honest with yourself. You don’t want to live a fake life anymore.

Discipline means having the courage to look yourself in the eye and still love everything about your life. That is discipline.

It is having the courage to stay in the game, no matter how tough, no matter what is going on in your life.

That is discipline. The more, the better.
