It Is Not Enough To Get Busy

When it comes to life, time is the boss. When it comes to your growth and development, time is the master.

Time is time. Whether you know what you are doing or not, time is going.

Whether you are busy doing something, whether you are busy producing something, whether you are busy doing nothing, time is going to judge you.

You will get your result from time. But to get it, you must wake up. You must change with it. You must fly with it.

If you want to be successful, it is not enough to get busy. No, it is not enough. So many people are busy, but only a handful are getting things done.

If you are busy and you are not getting what you want, your boss is still mad at you, you can’t pay your bills, then it is time to change your daily habits. It means you are not busy doing the right things. It means you are putting the wrong things first. It means you are doing what is comfortable. It means you are hiding your weaknesses. And it means you do not know what you want.

Manage your time well. Do not abuse your time. Before you jump into anything, ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ If you can’t answer it, then stop it.

Because if you do not stop doing the wrong things, if you do not stop wasting your time, if you do not stop abusing your time, you will never get what you are looking for. You will never grow. You will never know what you do not know. Why?

Because it is not enough to get busy. You must put the right thing first. And you must do the right thing first.

6 Simple Ways To Reinvent Yourself

Nothing stays the same. The world is changing. 
If we want to grow, we must change. We must get out of our comfort zone.
To do that, 

You must 'evaluate your surroundings.' To do this, according to Bryan Dodge, 'think about the people you surround yourself with: coworkers, acquaintances, even friends you've for a long time. Without a doubt, we all absorb positive and ngative traits, habits, and attitudes from the people around us day to day.'

You must challenge yourself. According to Bryan Dodge, 'You're complacent when you feel like nothing much is going to change in your life even if you maske an effort, so there's no reason to try.' If you do not have the courage to challenge yourself, to stretch yourself, what you are doing to yourself, according to Bryan Dodge, is '... letting go of the steering wheel and hoping someone else grabs it to keep from crashing.'

Take action. Bryan writes, 'Instead of pledging to your boss that you'll grow the business, do it.' If you are in a leadership position, this is for you. You don't tell what you can do. People want to see what you can really do. So instead of telling people how talented you are, why not show them?

Connect with yourself. According to Martha Beck, '... oneness is perhaps the best thing you can do to reclaim your true nature and find your way to happiness, creativity, and every other form of thriving.' When you are one with yourself, it means you are in love with yourself. No matter where you are, you are who you say you are. 

Learn how to deal with setbacks. In the words of Daniel Howell, 'We all know that life can throw a curveball when we least expect it, so it's important to know how to cope with these surprises, and not let them throw you off your positive momentum.' When you are faced with anything, just know that life is testing you. You will go through it. It is not the time to start reliving all your failures. It is the time to start living your best life. 
 
Wake up! Gary John Bishop writes, 'You have deadened yourself to the crap.' You have beaten yourselt to the ground. That is not who you are. You are not a victim. You are a victor. And to keep that victor mentality, you must see yourself a winner. Because you are a winner, not a loser.
