I've been away from my blog for a prolonged period of 3 months and this will be my first post for 2016. Every time I think of writing a new post to my blog, I FAIL in that task very badly.
Failing to do a task has many number of reasons, here are some reasons:
- Laziness
- Lack of Persistence
- Negative Self Talks
Laziness has overcome many of us. For example, going for a morning walk can be a daunting task to some people, while others enjoy the benefits of relaxation and peace of mind gained through this routine walk.
Laziness is a root cause for us to NOT achieve our own goals. If we are able to beat and overcome laziness we can achieve more from the 24 hour day, hence becoming more efficient and effective. If you want to learn more about How to beat Laziness, there is a blog post written just for you.
How many of us have started a particular task and then left that task uncompleted? Task after task are uncompleted, the list of uncompleted tasks overweights the list of completed task.
This is mainly because Lack of Persistence in a given task. Take the earlier example of routine morning walk, how long do many of us continue walking every day in morning no matter what the outcomes are? Very few are continuously successful in this endeavor.
Pushing yourself forward is the way to avoid lack of persistence. How hard it becomes, you just keep moving forward. Day after day, the task will be easier to do and even can become more enjoyable.
J.K. Rowling had to go twelve publishers to publish here first book, many of us can barely write a book to publish and if we write a book, we would have lacked motivation by going to three or four publishers but she kept moving forward and saw the results.
I want to include another example, Thomas Edison - Inventor of light bulb, failed 1000 times in the invention of the light bulb, if he would have stopped then he wouldn't have go the title of Inventor and someone else would have invented it.
You learn by failing, fail but never give up until you've achieved your goal.
Can I write a blog post? I don't have the skill of writing? My language is not good enough? Hmm, do you get this negative self talks when you're asked to write a blog post or an article?
Well, this is just a mere imagination of your mind, this is NOT the reality. We are fearful by just imagining the outcome instead of just start to write the blog. Yes, sometimes you will suck at this point, but never loose confidence in yourself, just continue and look back what you have got once you've finished writing the blog or article. It will be a self accomplishment for you to do more of this in the future.
Believe in yourself first, work hard toward achieving your goals then success will follow you.
