Good evening gentlemen and ladies.
I have the pleasure to be here with you this evening to present the topic: ” 10 Secrets to Achieve Anything You Want in Life”
I recognize all the excos of this platform led by our able coordinator, Mr. Asuni Adesola.
Long live TEA.
It is no longer news that the Covid-19 outbreak and collapse in international crude prices are set to push the economy back into recession this year.
Job losses and lower remittances are poised to hit private consumption hard, while investment activity will suffer amid project delays and uncertainty.
It is on this note that we all have to think out of the box, work smart to achieve what we want in life.
A common adage is that you need to work harder and suffer more than anyone else if you want to achieve success.
At the most, that’s a half-truth.
From what I have learned from people who have accomplished big things in both their lives and careers, one of their most common “ha-ha moments” was when they realized that working hard was not enough to succeed, and that often it was even a waste of time and energy.
Thinking from this perspective, I have compiled 10 things that just are as important, or even more important, than hard work when it comes to achieving success.
1. Focus on commitment, not motivation.
Just how committed are you to your goal? How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it? If you find yourself fully committed, motivation will follow.
That’s how to focus on commitment.
2. Seek knowledge, not results.
If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled.
If you focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather—it will die the minute you hit a storm. So the key is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve.
That’s how to seek knowledge.
3. Make the journey fun.
It’s an awesome game! The minute you make it serious, there’s a big chance it will start carrying a heavy emotional weight and you will lose perspective and become stuck again.
That’s how to make the journey fun.
4. Get rid of stagnating thoughts .
Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine how you view your work.
You have a lot of thoughts in your head, and you always have a choice of which ones to focus on: the ones that will make you emotionally stuck (fears, doubts) or the ones that will move you forward (excitement, experimenting, trying new things,
stepping out of your comfort zone ).
That’s how to get rid of stagnating thoughts.
- Use your imagination .
Next step after getting rid of negative thoughts is to use your imagination. When things go well, you are full of positive energy, and when you are experiencing difficulties, you need to be even more energetic. So rename your situation.
If you keep repeating I hate my work, guess which feelings those words will evoke? It’s a matter of imagination! You can always find something to learn even from the worst boss in the world at the most boring job.
I have a great exercise for you: Just for three days, think and say positive things only. See what happens.
That’s how to use your imagination.
6. Stop being nice to yourself.
Motivation means action and action brings results . Sometimes your actions fail to bring the results you want.
So you prefer to be nice to yourself and not put yourself in a difficult situation. You wait for the perfect timing, for an opportunity, while you drive yourself into stagnation and sometimes even into depression.
Get out there, challenge yourself, do something that you want to do even if you are afraid.
That’s how to stop being nice to yourself.
7. Get rid of distractions .
Meaningless things and distractions will always be in your way, especially those easy, usual things you would rather do instead of focusing on new challenging and meaningful projects. Learn to focus on what is the most important. Write a list of time-wasters and hold yourself accountable to not do them.
That’s how to get rid of distractions.
8. Don’t rely on others .
You should never expect others to do it for you, not even your partner, friend or boss.
They are all busy with their own needs. No one will make you happy or achieve your goals for you. It’s all on you .
That’s how to not rely on others.
9. Plan .
Know your three steps forward. You do not need more. Fill out your weekly calendar, noting when you will do what and how . When-what-how is important to schedule.
Review how each day went by, what you learned and revise what you could improve .
That’s how to plan.
10. Protect yourself from burnout.
It’s easy to burn out when you are very motivated. Observe yourself to recognize any signs of tiredness and take time to rest.
Your body and mind rest when you schedule relaxation and fun time into your weekly calendar.
Do diverse tasks, keep switching between something creative and logical, something physical and still, working alone and with a team. Switch locations.
Meditate, or just take deep breaths, close your eyes, or focus on one thing for five minutes.
This is where I will drop the gauntlet and anchor for tonight seminar…
Hope I have impacted you tonight???
Good night everyone….
