Hold yourself to a high standard every day believing that you are perfect as you are and there is always room for improvement. No one is perfect and everyone wishes they could change something about themselves.

Change is inevitable and those who adapt quickly are most likely to succeed. Change and growth is painful. But it's so necessary for us to evolve. Every day, you reinvent yourself. You're always in motion. But you decide every day: forward or backward.

96.When you aren’t passionate about something, it makes it very difficult to go above and beyond.
You won’t want to get up early or stay late to hammer it out.
You won’t do the things you need to do to separate yourself from the pack.
Don’t live a passionless life.
97.Embrace all your emotions in every experience. There are days when your feelings of passion will not have the same stamina. Tomorrow is another day where you will feel different. Doing the personal development, looking within and growing will give you the tools to conquer.

👉 PROCRASTINATION
I'm sure you are familiar with the definition. Procrastination is the action of unnecessarily and voluntarily delaying or postponing something despite knowing that there will be negative consequences for doing so.

Procrastination is one of THE BIGGEST stumbling blocks to success.
If you keep on procrastinating over those important, business-moving, success-driving tasks you’ll never get to where you want to be!
Tough love, I know, but it’s true.
If you keep on ignoring those tasks, they are not going to suddenly magically do themselves!
‘Active Procrastination’ – in other words procrastinating by doing something else that you kid yourself is more important / vitally urgent to do right now.
So how do you stop putting the important stuff off and start being super productive?
🔥Starting from tomorrow I'll start sharing the 21 ways to beat procrastination, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start achieving your goals and being more successful!

1. UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE PROCRASTINATING
The first step towards overcoming procrastination is to understand WHY you are procrastinating.
Start by taking a look at your to do list. What are the activities you procrastinate over? What are the activities that have been on your list a long time?
Ask yourself WHY you are procrastinating… Why are you not getting on and doing those tasks? Why have they been on your list for a long time?
The chances are the reason is something along the lines of overwhelm (it feels too big / too scary / you don’t have the skills) and/or a fear of failure.
But it could also be down to delayed gratification issues. It can be really hard to motivate yourself to do something that’s hard, daunting or a little bit boring, when you know that the payoff won’t be for several months or even years.

2. WRITE IT DOWN
If I could give only one piece of advice for beating procrastination it would be this: write down everything you need to do and then plan exactly when you will do it.
Writing down everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) is a technique I learnt many years ago from David Allen’s brilliant productivity book Getting Things Done*. In it he explains that one of our biggest problems is we try to keep too much in our heads… thus cluttering up our brains so they don’t have any space to process.
Our brains are great processing tools but only if they are not already stuffed full of, as Allen puts it, ‘open loops’… things we know we need to do but haven’t got round to yet. Getting those things out of our heads and onto paper (or a spreadsheet, or an app!) frees our brains up to do what they are supposed to do: solve problems, connect dots, make decisions and form new ideas.

3. WRITE A BETTER TO DO LIST
So, if that long, daunting, ever-lengthening ‘everything’ to do list is actually one of the causes of procrastination, should we ditch the whole concept of to do lists altogether?
Actually no. While it’s true that BAD to do lists cause procrastination, GOOD to do lists can be part of the solution.
The trick is not to work from a to do list of EVERYTHING but to create a to do list that’s just for TODAY, and to keep that to do list short and achievable.
How?
Start by just focusing on this month.
Then focus just on this week and assign each task you have to do this week to a specific day. Finally write your to do list for today.With a long list of ‘everything’ and a whole year stretching out in front of you, you can easily kid yourself that ‘there’s plenty of time if I leave this until tomorrow’… with a solid plan and daily to do lists, you are faced with the stark reality that that’s not actually true!
