10 years of silence

I've recently came across this concept. It basically tells us that no one is born genius, or necessarily become a pro in an instant. We can have better propensity to become a professional or an overnight success due to our circumstances. However, to become extremely good at something requires determination and consistent work behind closed doors. Keep doing your work even though you don't feel like it, when you become unmotivated and even if you don't seem to reap any benefits. 

We tend to hear of successful people and think they are simply 'lucky'or 'more privileged'. We can all create our own luck and success by willingly doing the work. Keep at it for the long haul. Do it because your soul demands it, not to appear successful in front of other people. Do it because it feels right. Do it because quitting is not an option. It's not about recognition, it's about doing things that matter and matter to you.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent. 

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
