I stumbled onto your blog last night after I googled motivational speeches. I needed a distraction to take my mind off of a heart wrenching breakup and content that would empower my self esteem and motivate me to get my priorities and motivation back on myself in a healthy way.
I’ve read them backwards, from the first to this one, and I feel empowered with new ideas, and in a way, I’ve found myself giving myself advice and shaping plans and ideas. It’s helped tremendously and all your posts are insightful, simple to comprehend, and keep me focused and interested in the next topic. Thank you for writing. It helped.
Thanks for commenting, Kieria. I’m glad the stuff I’ve written has helped you and getting comments like yours keeps me inspired to produce more content.
I hope your heart will quickly heal. Breakups are almost never easy but the pain always decreases over time and from what I’ve observed, breakups, although painful at first, will almost always lead to better things.
I read it and definitely agree with you. You’ve clearly expressed what’s stuck on my mind for more than a year. I’ve added your blog on my favorite to get wisdom from you. As you’ve stated, by 20% of efforts (simply reading your wise words) I can get 80% of the results without having to undergo through hardships of life lessons. Thank you so much for the wonderful words here.
Glad you liked the article but reading won’t really do much. Working hard is still the key ingredient in achieving your goals. Just make sure you’re working hard on the right things.
Thanks for the tips, Kevin. I agree that sometimes we give up too quickly or are not doing the right things. Or another possibility is that our goal priorities changed and so we have switched from one goal to the next and so need to adjust our deadlines. It is always smart to have a Plan B but sometimes we don’t even want our Plan B but might have to deal with it until we get back on track.
The Pareto Principle is great but it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint which actions fall into 20% tasks that gave 80% of our results. I am guessing that’s why you mentioned Journaling in other articles but it still means taking time to review our tasks and then link them to various results and sometimes that is not straightforward. However, like you said it means being persistent and finding that book, article or person we can get advice from. Then once we know what the right thing is then we can keep improving it.
You’re right. It’s not always easy to know what the “20%” is. For some things, you just have to observe what the successful people in that field are doing and do what they do.
This piece has really ”Led me to myself.” Many were the things I’ve done wrong, yet expecting to have the right results. I’ve also had a better understanding of the Pareto Principle: ”Find those crucial but missing ingredients you will need to make it complete.”
Thank You.
You’re welcome 🙂
How do you know when you’ve used up all your resources to try to achieve your dreams? How do you know when it’s time to quit and move on to another goal?
Good questions. Depends on what resources you’re talking about. When it’s time or money, that’s pretty clear. When it’s something like perseverance, that’s harder to say since almost all of us greatly underestimates what we’re capable of.
You know it’s time to quit when your excuses are constantly greater than your desire to achieve your goal. Sometimes we find the goal we’re after really isn’t that important to us. It’s really a personal call. If it’s truly important to you and quitting will only make you have regret for the rest of your life, stick with it. At the same time though, sometimes the timing isn’t right and you may need to postpone certain goals until later on and work on something else in the meantime.
As long as you’re constantly working on something that gives you joy and fulfillment whether it’s #1 on your list of goals or #10, then I think you’re headed in the right direction.
