Work is the key

So what are we, who tend to inertia, to do? It is simple really: just takerepparttar next step, andrepparttar 122853 next, andrepparttar 122854 next, andrepparttar 122855 next... For every step of your journey, you will come up with excuses or reasons not to go on. Use your mind to steamroller these objections. What do I mean by this? Let me use an example. Until recently I had a problem getting up inrepparttar 122856 morning when my alarm would go off. Often I would snooze it until there is no more snooze left onrepparttar 122857 alarm (an hour later). What I started to do is,repparttar 122858 evening before, I would imagine what I would feel like whenrepparttar 122859 alarm goes off. How I would grumble while still feeling very sleepy. I would imagine how I would go torepparttar 122860 bathroom even thinking that I would want to sleep some more. I would then pre-programme my mind to react to these objections and steamroller them. I would switch ofrepparttar 122861 alarms instead of snoozing it ("Its too much effort to set

the alarm again just to get some more sleep"), I would switch onrepparttar 122862 radio ("I cannot sleep with all that noise and its too much effort to switch off as its in a different room") and I would startrepparttar 122863 bath tap running ("I would not want to wasterepparttar 122864 water already run"). After a bath or shower I would be awake and not thinking of sleep anymore. And inrepparttar 122865 end I would even imagine being proud of myself for overcoming my own objections and getting up early. Inrepparttar 122866 same way we should do this with allrepparttar 122867 other things that require work or effort - imagine your objections, imagine yourself steamrolling your objections and most important of all imagine you are successful at it.

What if you would fail? What if you would fall? Just get up and takerepparttar 122868 next step. Never cease your journey because you have fallen. Remember how far you have come - allrepparttar 122869 steps you have taken. If you want to be successful, work isrepparttar 122870 key. Yes, even repetitive work. And after you have toiled, you will come to realise "The pen might be mightier thanrepparttar 122871 sword, butrepparttar 122872 plough is mightier than all."

Taking Action

The other two most commonly offered reasons are related to fear. Oddly enough, they are opposites, but both haverepparttar same result on us. Fear of failure makes us uncomfortable to step out of our comfort zone, to try something new, because we might fail. And fear of success keeps us from trying too, because with success might come criticism and pressure to have to repeat, or worse, improve on that first success. And we might fail at that, which brings onrepparttar 122852 cycle again.

Atrepparttar 122853 risk of sounding trite, they say you don't fail unless you quit. Try to overcome whatever is holding you back - don't quit before you even get started.
