Recently
National Geographic aired a program where they showed how one smart monkey
accidentally dropped her sweet potato in to a stream, only to discover that
it tasted much better after being dipped in water. So she started washing
her potatoes before eating, and very soon the entire monkey tribe joined
in!
Isn't
it amazing how one small change produced such a massive outcome.
As
very aptly put by the first man on the moon:
"One
Small Step For Men, One giant leap for mankind"... Neil Armstrong
So
why not take your one small step today that could give you a giant leap?
97%
of adults in the entire world do not know what their life plan is, where
they are going , what they want to achieve in life. At the very best
they just have a vague idea: get through college; get a job; get
married; work your way to death; retire and then...
usually end up in ill health, poverty, obscurity, anger with the world, regrets at the way life treated you
and kind of 'waiting for death'... become a ‘hard to carry’
burden for your family or
the system you live in and then... die.
Why
Not Be Different?
Yes,
Why not make a small difference NOW and see a big change later.
Here
are a few starters that will immediately catapult you in to the top 3%
of the world population:
1.Make
a list. Yes write down your five most important wishes or goals that
you want to see yourself doing in the next one year.
For example:
By
December Next year :
-
I
Will be earning...
-
I
will be weighing...
-
I
will be...
2.Start
Prioritizing: Take 5 minutes every morning to plan out your tasks of the
day in order of priority. And do all the important ones/ most dreaded
ones first.
3.
Stop Procrastinating or putting off: Say if you have a vague plan tucked
away in some corner of your mind that you will write a book some day, or
what ever. So why not start right now... you may just take 30 minutes at
the end of each day to write something down or plan it out. [As often
said by my mother who admonished us kids as follows: "Whatever you
want to do tomorrow, do it today; Whatever you want to do today, do it
NOW"].
4.Start
Planning. What’s your most important goal, start planning on how you
will achieve it.
5.Gradually
start reducing the time you spend in non productive
activities – say playing, watching TV, excessive partying... and
start re-channeling it to working towards your goals.
6.Start
Budgeting/Saving: Start a written record of the amount you spend each
day. At the end of every month subtract the total amount spent from the total amount earned,
any leftovers will be your savings, Plan how you can cut back on your
expenditure and increase your savings. As a first step to your financial
empire start a savings account.
7. Make
a small shift in your attitude. Your life is simply a reflection of your
attitude. Why not make a difference. Be more positive, be more happy, be
more confident, be more appreciative, be more healthy and be more
focused on success and achieving your goals.
Yes...
make a difference NOW and then see the change.
