The Importance of Taking Baby Steps

     Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to lose interest later down the line?  This happens to a lot of people and is usually the result of biting off more than you can chew.  Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is not something people can do.  If we don’t focus on one particular subject at a time, the quality of what we are doing will suffer.  This is why I encourage everybody to take baby steps when it comes to goal setting.  Do not set multiple goals at once and expect to follow through with every single one at once.  Doing this will decrease the motivation to continue because you feel less likely to succeed the more overworked you feel.
     Think of the goals you have set for yourself in the past or present.  Now, take one particular goal and focus on it.  Keep the others in mind but focus on your chosen one in particular.  Once you succeed at achieving this goal, choose another one.  It sounds simple enough but people often get distracted or bored of doing a specific task and move onto the next one.  You have to fight the urge to do this because the work towards your chosen goal will suffer.  Not only that but the more you jump from goal to goal, the less productive you will feel and the higher chance you will give up.  If we don’t feel like we have achieved anything, we lose motivation and feel like what we are doing is a fruitless endeavor.
     I am truly confident that taking baby steps and achieving one goal at a time will help you succeed in anything.  Having that type of focus and being able to maintain your motivation is key.  Focus and motivation are powerful tools that, when controlled properly, can help you get the results you want.  Just remember, take it one day at a time, do not rush, and never expect anything to happen overnight.  Success is a long and sometimes tedious process, but if you have patience, take baby steps, and continue to work hard, there is a high chance you will be rewarded.
Thoughts?
     It is important to talk about these types of subjects because it makes us better human beings.  So, I leave the rest of the discussion up to you.  Do you agree with anything presented today?  Why or why not?  Do you have any pieces of life advice to share?  Comment below!

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...

Three Effective Ways to Maintain Self Control When Provoked or Agitated

     Despite what people might think in the moment, getting angry at someone you dislike, being violent, or showing hostility does more harm than good.  We've all been there, a situation where we become so angry or annoyed that we just want to lash out.  Subconsciously we think, "this is the right thing to do," and our anger takes over.  I want you to remember a time this has happened and how it panned out.  I am sure there are instances where it is justifiable to lash out, but more often than not people regret their actions almost immediately.  We are left feeling foolish and our reputation takes a hit, the severity being dependent on the situation and the size of the blowup.  Due to the consequences, people tell themselves they will be more aware and prevent similar occurrences from happening again.  Unfortunately, not everybody learns from their mistakes.  We forget our past actions far too quickly and often repeat mistakes....
