Five Lessons That Chisel You Into Success!
#LESSON 1: EXPECTATIONS, HAVE NONE!
Expect the unexpected and never write off anyone and never write off yourself. Be better at approaching things with an open mind and trusting the process. When you leave expectations out of the room, you focus on what needs doing, what needs correcting, what needs growing and you deter away from underestimating your abilities or another. The approach in life becomes about nurturing focus and being guided by the outcomes you desire so that you can lead with your best foot forward. Having expectations will be a misrepresentation, and where you will be required to have a better guard, you will end up lowering your guard leaving you open to be negatively affected.
Remain expectant but set no expectations!
#LESSON 2: TEAM SPIRIT, IMPERATIVE!
When a team is disjointed, lacking oneness and aren’t congruent in their operations the opponent team will beware and will be able to easily tear the team apart. The importance of having a team spirit cannot be overstated. It enhances collaboration, boosts morale, facilitates growth, increases efficiency, strengthens problem-solving capabilities, fosters accountability, and builds trust. In any collaborative endeavor, cultivating a strong team spirit is essential for achieving success. Whether in the workplace, on the sports field, or in community projects, the power of a united team working towards a common goal is truly transformative.
#LESSON 3: FEAR, DON'T ENABLE IT!
Fear can be a disabler if you let it and fear also attracts more fear. it is also something others will pick on very easily and depending on what you're trying to achieve this can work against you. Fear is a disease and if you let it take over you it will slowly suck all your energy and take over your life. So be weary of fear, watch it and observe it within your own hardships. Try and counter attack it and beat it at its own game.
In the word fear is the word ear and all fear needs is your ear if you let it, it will happily use yours and it will leave you defeated and weak!
#LESSON 4: FEARLESS, BECOME IT!
Show up in life as if you aren't competing with the world’s top class people and/or organisation. Be the opposite of fear, be fearless and give 100% in everything you do, and watch your competition be shaken and struggle on how to beat you, your effort will be rewarded.
#LESSON 5: WINNERS AND LOSERS, NEITHER CAN BE AVOIDED!
In life you're either a winner or a loser. What defines which one you will be is based on the following two things:
1. Timing: If it's the right time and the right place then the opportunity is yours for the taking.
2. Effort: This is the only thing that separates success and failure.
However it is important to note that in order to win both apply. You can be on time but with no effort you won't succeed and you make all the effort but if the timing is off it won't work. As a loser pay attention to which one applied and as a winner duplicate what worked but be conscious that at times life requires you to lose to appreciate the wins and to redirect you to your ordained path.
Bonus lesson in life: There are many things you will experience either from watching others or living through experiences, it is encouraged to learn to look beyond what meets the eye you for you will be surprised what you could learn.
