Success is like a dividend, invest and earn

Success and failure are the two sides of the same coin.  If you toil hard on a continuous basis with a defined goal and purpose, you achieve success for your diligence. Contrarily, if your goal is not set up properly and purpose is somewhat cluttered and your hard work is also not that systematic, then you will not be able to achieve success.  Some people work hard for days, for months and even for years  with a desire to achieve success immediately after that, but when they do not get, they forget everything and start procrastinating.  And ultimately, they never reach the path of success even though at the initial stage, they show great agility.

 

Success can be represented as an empirical formula as devotion to God + love to family + acquiring new skills + sincerity to discharge the responsibilities involved either with the job or business.  Chronologically, God comes first, which you should not forget. In each of your endeavour, if you remember him in the form of prayers, you will achieve the desired result.  When this mental state is amalgamated with your feeling for family, devotion to your spouse, children and parents and then you  hone your skills by learning more and more in your field or additional fields and finally when you carry out all your responsibilities for which you are involved either in your business or in your service, you will be achieving success and the same cannot allude you.  Only thing, you have to follow a regular regime of practicing the above sequences, otherwise, if you show some sort of procrastination in any of your above activities, your efforts will not yield success as you plan and desire. That is why, success is directly proportional to continuous qualitative efforts and at the same time, it is inversely proportional to the level and magnitude of procrastination.

 

Procrastination is a bad and contagious habit.  It destroys your vigor, energy and rhythm to progress in your life.  Despite knowing that procrastination brings your downfall, still people procrastinate.  How you can get this bad and annoying habit of your mind?  The psychological analysis reflects that the major four reasons prompt you to do procrastination.

 

1.   You are lazy type or you just show laziness:  Suppose by the influence of your parents, friends, or neighbors, you start the morning walk to boost up your health.  You religiously perform this activity for a week, a month and then suddenly conclude that this activity is not meant for you.   You decide to sleep more on a particular day and a little more the next day  and in this way, you reduce the time spent in this activity and in the third month onwards, you completely stop this activity. This scenario is involved when characteristically you are a lazy type or show your laziness in any activity.

 

       In that case, you have to increase your mental power and through your mental stamina, you have to get rid of this laziness and stop procrastination and you have to take an oath  that you have to achieve success in any given field by transcending the barrier of laziness.

2.   Feeling monotonous:   When you do a job continuously for a longer period, you will eventually lose charm in it. It is but natural for any human being that when they perform a job regularly, it gradually becomes a stereotype and they are not able to focus their attention thoroughly.  This syndrome is particularly applicable for the entrepreneurs when they launch any new project or venture.  Initially, they become very enthusiastic, but after a period of time, when the thing becomes stereotyped, they lose their charismatic energy as they get bogged down with the monotony of their work.  Then they start procrastinating.  To avoid this scenario, one has to always inculcate a habit of developing and visualizing new goals.  The establishment of new goals will energize your mind when you are losing your desire to continue and perform the old work again and again.  Because of this reason, many entrepreneurs complete one venture and then they entrust this responsibility to one of their trusted lieutenants, so that they can think of a new venture and engage themselves in a fresh task to avoid monotonous situation. 

 

      The traits of procrastination will automatically come to any human being when they feel not that energized to carry on their performance because after performing the same job again and again, they do not find any new thing to be done.  So, to engage yourself and always become motivated, see the bigger picture of the same old job or a new job. You make a strategy like this; firstly, you  break down your bigger vision to perform the big job  into smaller parts and then further break down the same into much smaller parts and then   accomplish each part of the job to enthuse yourself all the time. In this way, you can avoid monotony in your work.

 

3.  You are overwhelmed with work:  Whether socially and professionally or in your personal life, you will be getting so many works at a time.  If that is the situation and you are overwhelmed by your workload, you have to concentrate and focus to complete the first job first.  For example, you are working in an office and suddenly your tray is filled up with many incoming papers and if you start reading a particular paper  and then half finished the same and out of your eagerness to complete all the papers, you start reading  another paper and so on. And in this way, you will not be in a position to read any paper carefully.  So, the best idea is to segregate the papers as per their importance.  The least important papers should be discarded immediately.  Semi-important papers are to be kept for a while to focus attention after sometime and the top priority important papers are to be discharged immediately.  In this way, you can avoid the syndrome of being afflicted with the overwhelming situation of your workload.  If you are overwhelmed with your workload, automatically, you will be feeling discouraged to complete any particular activity or function and ultimately, you start avoiding your work, no matter how important it is. Finally, you will be doing procrastination.  So, it is better to overcome the particular situation and avoid procrastination.

4.   Your schedule of work is not creating excitement:   This is also a very important thing to avoid procrastination.  There is a concept of flexitime and you have to devote all your attention to all the activities giving a priority to fulfill all the responsibilities as per their order of importance.  If you are able to finish your personal responsibility, social responsibility and also does professional work with all your sincerity, you will be always enjoying the work that you are doing.  This way, you will never be bored with your work and will not be pervaded with procrastination.

 

Procrastination is one of the bad behaviors and once you inculcate this behavior in yourself, it is very difficult to achieve the taste of success.  So, by doing things methodically and purposefully, if you can avoid your procrastination, it is better.  Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to climb the ladder of success.  As stated above, success is directly  proportional to continuous qualitative efforts, but without procrastination.  Like your body is afflicted with disease, so, is the case with your mind getting afflicted by procrastination. So, by all means, get rid of this habit of procrastination to achieve success in life.
