Do what is best for you

Likewise, they have similar standards for other people in their life. If someone wants to date you or build a friendship, they need to win your trust. Inconsistent behavior and flakiness are poor foundations for a relationship, and suggest a lack of respect. Self-respecting people have no time for those who waste their time. They also refuse to tolerate any kind of abuse or poor treatment.

Anyone can cultivate it, and it builds over time. Start by addressing your everyday routine. Could you make adjustments to your diet and exercise habits? Challenge yourself to drink more water, eat more fruit and vegetables, and get in a few workouts every week. Do you tend to assume that you are a competent and worthy individual, or do you spend a lot of time engaged in negative self-talk?

It may be time to do some journaling or even start therapy if you need to identify and replace your most destructive thoughts. About never stopping. Take everything external away and you're still going to continue with the same intensity you always have. Give you everything? Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune. Jim Rohn. Your work is a reflection of you. If you're not getting the results you're looking for, stop looking for better strategies. Are you currently the person who would attract the level of success you seek?

Your outer conditions are a reflection of your inner reality. As James Allen has said , Your circumstances reveal you to yourself. Most people focus on their craft or their "job. However, you'll get far more bang-for-your-buck by focusing on yourself.

This is what fuels your work and makes it better than anyone else's. Self-improvement is more than books and true rest is renewal. While others are trying to improve their job, you're continuously improving yourself, expanding your vision, skills, and abilities. This is akin to Stephen R.

Covey's 7th principle : Sharpen your saw. Most people are trying to chop down their tree? Abraham Lincoln. Within a short period of time, you'll have developed true mastery. Everyone else is trying to hone their "craft.

Work on yourself. When you do, your work will far exceed what other people are painstakingly producing. Your work will be cleaner, clearer, and more powerful because you'll be more evolved as a person.

Most people you're "competing" against are an inner mess. Your results aren't a reflection of your talent. Lots of people have talent. Few people, however, are required to rise to a difficult challenge. Most people never put themselves in demanding situations? You need to put yourself into positions that create immense pressure. The kind of pressure that will either make or break you. This is how you purge out your weakness and small-mindedness. It won't be pretty.

But it will change you. And eventually, you'll rise up. You need to be taking on challenges that require you to become so much more than you currently are. You need to put your back against the wall so you have no other choice but to produce.

How do you put yourself into these situations? You initiate. You don't wait for life to come to you. You don't wait for the "next" opportunity. You improve your current situation or "job" by providing actual value. You pitch ideas. You ask questions. You try and fail. You take on roles that require greater responsibility. You just need to assume a leadership role. You can do that right now, in whatever situation you're in.

You do this enough, and continuously pitch yourself and your ideas, you'll create opportunities. For more details, review our Privacy Policy.
