Let Your Insufficiencies Burn Off Like Deadwood

You should determine what you carry forward with you and what you should let go of as if it's deadwood; how? Ask yourself this:

“If circumstances were set up the way I need them to be, and if I could be the person I need to be, what would that situation with those set of circumstances look like?”

Shed all those elements of you that are no longer worthy of the pursuits that you're placing value on.?

Think on Paper

Thinking gives you an effective impact on the world; thinking makes you win the battles you undertake - and those battles could lead to good things. If you think, speak and write well, then you are absolutely deadly and nothing can get in your way. That's exactly why it’s essential to learn to write.

If you can speak to people, if you can lay out a proposal; people give you money and opportunities. Good communication skills grant you influence at your university, your job and community.

Sometimes we don't know what we are thinking until we get it down on paper, or out in an audible form. Writing is a means of organizing and clarifying thoughts. Thus, if you are having trouble thinking, try writing down your thoughts, or speaking to someone who will listen and try to understand you.?

Never speak badly about yourself

There were two types of conversations you could have with yourself: the positive and uplifting conversations, or the negative and destructive ones.

The key to being successful comes down to your own ability to limit the conversations in your head to the positive and uplifting ones.Consequently, never ever talk badly about yourself. The words you speak are directly responsible for the strength of your character. Be very cautious and selective with your words, and learn how to stop saying things that make you feel weak.

The above is supported by research which has shown that it is our thoughts that drive our emotions, and our emotions that drive our actions. Therefore, if we want to act in a way that will bring us the most success, we have to control our emotions by learning to control our thoughts

Develop a routine, Make a schedule and Write a plan

You should develop a long term plan to set up your vision. There are some visions of the positive goals towards which you're working, and some visions perhaps of mishaps that you'd like to avoid.

Orient yourself. To do that, you should start designing your days, and you can do that very effectively with an organizer, and it can be as simple as using Google Calendar. While that sounds like a tedious task to many people who hate using a schedule and a calendar, using those time organizing tools is very effective if used properly and to their full potential.

A schedule should design the day that you would like to have most. Obviously, that's going to include accepting some responsibilities and undertakings to make progress on the things you have to make progress on to keep your life from collapsing into chaos.

Make a schedule and stick to it! Write lists, make plans and do so in such a way that everyday you are doing the things that you want to do.?

Of course, there will be things you have to do that you don’t want to do, some things will fall apart in the future, both in the immediate and long-term, but these things can be scheduled in too, and you really don’t need to spend that much time on them.?

Aim high, and identify something big, specific and wild. Then, go after it.

Sort yourself out, at the fundamental level

No one can tell you how things will work for you. It's your destiny to discover the unfolding of your own life.

If people find a meaning in the responsibilities they adopt, it stops them wondering about what the purpose of life is. You're blind to your own weaknesses, but you're also blind to your own strengths. Focusing on your strengths and improving upon your weaknesses is definitely a way to improve your situation, both on the personal and familial levels.

Self-improvement is nice to think about, but not everyone does it, despite it being a cornerstone of an evolving community. It's like, how far could you take that? Leaving behind procrastination and adopting truthfulness helps you orient yourself for the better, and just think of all the good things you could do. What’s great about this approach is that you can start it immediately, and find out what you want, nothing but good things will be the outcome.

Individual integrity is a cornerstone in the improvement of society, especially when it snowballs through the community. The snowball effect doesn’t even have to be immediate; one of its positives is that it can be gradual, and it most likely will be. Growth is a time-consuming process. The first step in it is fixing what is immediately fixable. Treat every event as an opportunity to improve.?

Humanity’s power of thinking is what makes them distinct. The ability to process the existence and understand the happenings around us is what makes us human. So if you understand how life works and that there is always an amazing power of thinking, and employ that power towards self-actualization, building integrity, and focusing on organization. We are born to be choosers, that's why our choices decide who we eventually become in life. Try new things, expand the circle of both your interests and knowledge, work towards a goal, and keep growing. Forward is the way.
