When Laziness Means Success…

People waste years trying not to waste hours. Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s.

People waste years trying not to waste hours, says author Michael Lewis.

Is being lazy a good thing? That’s what Michael Lewis said in this INC article why being lazy makes you successful. He postulated that being lazy is the key to Success. But is it for real? Lewis achieved much in life so I’d hardly say he was lazy.

However, what I’d say is that he focused on things that were in fact important, and did not spend time being busy… for busy sake.

Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s. If ever we find ourselves not doing anything we feel as guilty as ever. I have a colleague who broke her leg during a vcation trip and she found it like hell to be sitting in recovery…not being able to do the things she wanted to do.

So I encourage you the next time you find yourself being busy, it’s Prudent that you look around and ask the question, “is this adding value to my life…to my long term goals and dreams?”

If not, let it go. Refocus.

Cheers!

Passport: Your Key To Success…

with success. Life happens. Things change. It happens even while we are en route…in full pursuit

Passport… a thing that ensures admission to or the achievement of something


Years ago when I managed the HR portfolio for a region of a major pharmaceutical international company, we sent managers to different countries worldwide. Once while in mid-air the laws changed in one country while a traveling manager was en route on business. Naturally stressed, the manager was detained by officials until we were able to sort out the ‘new’, yet needed requirements.

So it is with success. Life happens. Things change. It happens even while we are en route…in full pursuit. But I am here to tell you that things will sort themselves out if you keep going. If you never give up in spite of the obstacles that you may encounter while pursuing your dreams, goals, and aspirations.

Today, keep going…don’t stop.

Overthinking…

let’s stop OVER-thinking and just get it done. Whatever your ‘it’ is…just do it.

“This is probably the advantge of being stupid. Stupid people just do. We tend to overthink. If we could eliminate the “over” and just think, then we could do too. Only we’d be smarter doers because we’d be thinkers”.   – Sarah Strohmeyer                 

The difference between a stupid person and thinkers is that they don’t think. Like an Elixir, they just do. Thinkers rationalize this, then that, then the other… often with the result of getting nothing done (and by the way, no one is stupid. Some people just act without thinking).

Today, go make a Fortune. Stop OVER-thinking and just get it done. Whatever your ‘it’ is…Just do it.

 
Cheers!

Conquer The Label…

the good we hold strong to promulgate to take us to even higher heights. For the bad, we need to release. If left to fester

Thoughts and chains are like Labels to be Conquered. Some are good, others bad. For the good we hold strong to promulgate to take us to even higher heights. For the bad, we need to release. For if left to fester, it will drag us into the ground forcing us away from our dreams, goals, and aspirations.

Got friends who are like festering chains? Let go of the relationship and start afresh.

Cheers!

Record it…

Living the life you have always dreamed of is not difficult. It happens with planning, effort, and the ability to go on …to never give up even when things go wrong. It happens when you do what you have always wanted to even when you’re afraid. Fear often stops us in our tracks. Fear makes us get stuck… sometimes even for years, and sadly some even pass without getting past what held them back.
