Transform Your Life By Mastering These Five Skills
She looked at me and a smile crept across her face. "There's something different about you," she said with a smile. All I could think at that moment was, people really do notice you when you get a great haircut.
She couldn't put her finger on it, because "it" was so much more than a simple hair cut. She had witnessed me go from the busboy that silently cleaned the tables to the top server in the place who was making hundreds in cash tips a day and was secretly dating the hot manager after work.
A hair cut is just the beginning. The inner confidence that develops over time, can be taught to anyone who is interested.
Persistence and dedication are the only tools you are going to need to achieve results. Listed below are 5 guidelines that will help you attain your goals and overcome obstacles.
GUIDELINE #1: Embrace the Pain
The superstar is vulnerable. Your mind, body, and emotions will all be exposed in this process. There will be bumps and bruises along the way but in the end you will heal and be stronger. It is okay to fear this pain, but you must be ready to push past it and continue on. The superstar does not quit.
Quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger, "The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens."
Vow to push past the pain, and you will be one step closer to achieving greatness.
ACTION #2: Take Off the Lid
Stop questioning what you "can" and "cant" do. Just do. The majority of fears, anxieties, and limitations are started by self-imposed beliefs. Break the habit of limiting yourself. Start small and then aim big. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish, by talking yourself into believing you have no limitations.
Its your job to stop limiting yourself and start believing your unstoppable.
ACTION #3: Understand that Obstacles are Part of the Journey
Nobody gets a smooth ride. Every now and then we all face challenges, and we all hit walls. While facing death, Professor Randy Pausch explained in his now famous last lecture that those walls are there for a specific purpose.
They are made to keep all of those who don't want it badly enough OUT. You however are the exception. You will find a way to continue forward and make it past that wall.
ACTION #4: Be a Beginner and Be an Expert
You are by no means too superior to learn something new. Learn to become humbled by new tasks that seem to complicated.
When working at developing any skill, bear in mind you are never above the fundamentals, yet keep your ears perked for expert level tips as well. Keep an open mind and be ready to learn at every opportunity.
GUIDELINE #5: Dream BIG
Be humble, stay positive, and never loose focus. Embrace the failure and continue on your dream. No matter where you are from, we all dream of something better.
"To infinity and beyond." Your dreams are within your grasp. Reactivate the dreamer part of your personality that you had when you were a child. There are no limits, only the limits you put on yourself.
Ask yourself, what are your dreams NOW...because you must have those dreams to bring them into reality. And you can. And you will.
