Bad habits rob you of your motivation. Today I want to tell you why I decided I absolutely had to take charge of my self-motivation. And why you must do
same.
As you read this article you will start to understand why a lack of motivation is costing you even more than you realize.
Growing up I never really had much trouble getting things done. I was told what to do by my parents or by my teachers and I did what was expected of me because it was easiest choice for me.
Getting punished never appealed to me very much.
Then as I got older and especially when I joined workforce I could get away with doing less and with leaving things until deadline approached.
In fact in one company where I worked it made no sense finishing work before deadlines because management kept moving goal posts.
And very often I worked with people who refused to stretch themselves. This culture of doing as little as you can and appearing to be productive slowly dragged me down.
Over years as a result of experiences like these I developed bad habits.
I can see now how a few bad choices in how I approached work affected all aspects of my life. The same may be true for you.
What we did over years was create bad habits that need to be given up and replaced with a new way of behaving.
Do you realize what this bad habit has cost you in your life?
- You missed sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes with succeeding on a big scale
- You lost respect of your peers and you are excluded from winners circle
