How To Get Better Results

‘Focus on the inputs, and the outputs will follow.’– John W. Foreman

If you want to make a difference in your life, if you really want to change things, do not focus on what you are going to get. Instead, focus your energy on getting the process right.

It does not matter what we want to achieve in our lives. If you don’t get the process right, it is not going to work.

The question is not what you are doing, but how are you doing it? Are you just doing it because people are pushing to change your life?

Or are you doing it because you really want to create a better life for yourself?

Why are you in the game you are playing? What are you doing to be better than your yesterday’s self?

Success is about the process. When the process is right, growth will follow. If you focus on what you want, you will get what you want.

If you focus on what you don’t want, you will get what you do not want.

What you really want will come from what you are doing, not what you are thinking. You can think all you like. If you want to change your thoughts from just mere thoughts to something greater than yourself, you must focus on what you are trying to achieve in your life.

Process matters. It is not what you do that matters. It is how you do it that is going to give you what you want. If you want success, you must ‘focus on the inputs.’

When To Leave A Toxic Place

‘We are only ready to leave our rockpool when we can swim in positive currrents pulling us towards what we do want. If we follow negative currents pushing us away from what we don’t want, we’ll be a jellyfish with no control over where to end up.’- Stuart Holah and Adrian Webster

Follow what you want. Follow what will make you happy in your life. If you are in a place that is not supporting you, if you are in a place that is not making you happy, that is not contributing to your life, that is even stealing from your life, if you love yourself, if you want to grow, you must leave.

The question is, ‘When is it right to leave a toxic place? It depends on what you want to achieve in your life. It also depends on what is going on in your life. If you are financially stable, then don’t waste your time. You need to run!

If you are not financially stable, if the job is paying you well, meaning you can take care of your family, then you must plan your exit carefully.

Do not rush your way out. If it is really bad that you can’t do it anymore, then you must consult with yourself, with your soul.

Whatever you are going after in your life, try to make it your own. That is because no place is perfect. If you think you can make where you are better, why not try?

I am not say that you should endure abuse from anybody. That is not what I am saying here. Please don’t get me wrong. I am for you. I am not for a toxic place, a toxic boss.

But always try to work things out. If you can work it out, why not? That is better than running around.

But if you have a bigger, better plan, then you can make your move. But do it with respect, if you can.

Because you never know what is going to happen in the future. You never know what life has in store for you. You never know where God is going to position you.

If a place is unbearable for you, don’t destroy the bridge before you leave.

Whether you are leaving a place or not, people are always your best bet. If you can connect with them, connect with them. If you cannot connect with them, then move on.
