I Think I Figured Out Where to Find Success
It started when I was procrastinating one time plus its not just procrastination this was blended with laziness, lol. I always do social media (Facebook & Instagram) and streaming (Netflix & Youtube), reading negative comments and other non-essential stuff. Anything you can imagine that most of the people doing today.
Every morning I open my phone right away, jumping right to Facebook just to read negative comments, news, postings. Can you imagine how negative my life was? But there was one time, I was watching a certain video that mentioned Mr Jim Rohn. It changed my life. I always thought what I’ve been doing is the road to success, but it was the opposite (good game well played for gamers).
There’s this “AHA” moment in Mr Rohn’s vid where he talked about success.
You want to be successful, but you are doing nothing. You always pray to our Dear Lord for success, but you do nothing and just lying down on your bed. Success leaves clues but for me its crumbs just like Hansel & Gretel. Though this time it the success waiting, and not the witch lol.
Let’s go back to Mr Rohn. He said if you wanna be successful in whatever your goal is read anything about it. For example, I’m in the field of Design plus Business, so I follow people that are successful in this field. In this case, I follow, Jim Rohn, Chris Do, Tony Robbins, Sagi Haviv, and etc. These are the people who are successful in the field/goal that I wanna pursue someday which is in helping others thru design plus motivation.
Read books/articles too that will improve you as a person. Invest in your self. Instead of buying the latest phone, why don’t you invest in something that can really help you? Do you want to be Happy? Then read books about how to be happy. Do you want to be successful in business? then read books or biographies about successful people or businesses.
This is easy said than done, but to tell you honestly, I really struggled so much when I started. I resisted change. I hated reading as it makes me sleep. I rather looked at memes than reading boring stuff, but I have to change for the better.
There was a saying “everybody starts with zero”.
Just kidding, there’s no such saying. I just made that up.
But at the end of the day, its gonna be your CHOICE to finish in 100 or to finish doing nothing. If you love what you have today, then keep doing what you are doing. But if you don’t want what you have today then change what you are doing.
Change something. Maybe you can start with little things that you do. Instead of doing social media 3 hours per day, make it 1.5 hours per day, then allocate the new found time to your improvement habit. Instead of binge-watching Netflix every day, why not make it every other day? I bet you watch a lot of movies yesterday. Open your schedule and use it wisely to improve your self.
Imagine, we only have 24 hours a day, 8 hours to sleep, 6 hours that we are super productive both physical and mental… the rest we chill or we move with a blank mind.
In order for everything to CHANGE, you have to CHANGE. There are things that we can’t control/change, but we can change ourselves.
The question is… what do you need to do get from point A (current you) to point B (successful you)?
It's not too late. Start your success today.
