What to Become in Life

 How to get out of unproductive life?

Let’s face it, you want to grow and be successful. Yet, a lot of us feel that after so many years have gone by, you will have a feeling of being stagnant in your life.  
So what is wrong?


Four Reasons why you feel being stagnant in your life;

1.) You do not set yearly goals in your life.

Importance: Setting yearly goals helps to achieve something after a year. These are very important for success, moving ahead and help you to become focused in your daily activities.

Now that year 2010 is about to end, why not tried to set goals to achieve in 2011. These goals must be very interesting and cover the following important aspects:

a.) Financial goal – how much do you plan to save in 2011? Any cost cutting initiatives? Anything you would like to invest?

b.) Career goals – if you are employed maybe you work hard to get an “excellent” work rating and possibly a promotion. Or if you are a student, be an honor student or if you are writer/blogger why not accomplished writing 300+ quality articles?

c.) Family and personal goals- if you are married, maybe both of you can go to somewhere else you like for a vacation. Or if you are still single, you may set a goal of knowing someone you can trust as a close friend.

2) You do not appreciate simple things in life

Other reasons why you feel being stagnant is that you will not appreciate simple things. You love to get more than life. The only problem is that no matter how hard you will try, there are chances you cannot get entirely what you need.

The key is to work hard, get results and be satisfied. As long as you give your best to anything you do, if something goes back as a reward, appreciate it, love it and thanks God for it. No matter how small.

3.) You compare yourself to others

The problem with comparing yourself to others is that you fail to appreciate your mission in this life. If you believe in God, He created you for a reason. This means that you do not need to compare yourself to them because you have your own mission in this world. Accept for what you really are, the key is to work hard, work smart, give your best and try to be the as best as you can be.

Remember that “success” is relative. What you think are successful may not be accepted as really “successful” to others. There is no definite standard so you do not need to compare yourself for success or whatsoever. Define your own success and get it!

4.) You are NOT working smart and hard

It is why it’s so important to set goals. Goals help you to work hard, focused and get results in life. If you are setting goals and not getting results, then you are not working hard.

Sometimes in life, you need to push harder in order to get results. Think and be like a rat. It is because a rat moves fast and when he finds a place that has no food, he will not get stuck at that place, instead the rat moves to another place until it finds food. 

This means that problems in life are normal, the key is to work hard to get past that barrier and move on to the next step. Do not let life problems control you, you control and finds way to solve that problem by working smart and hard.
