Skill
Without some level of skill in your industry, you’re not going to get far. Most people have one of two problems in this area:
They think they have more skill than they do, so they stop learning. We all meet people who think they have it all figured out, who believe in their perspective or methods to the point of being outdated, outrun, and outclassed. The question is, are you a know-it-all?
Becoming stagnant is just as detrimental to your success as not being productive. Don’t fall prey to the assumption that you’ve got nothing left to learn. Even the greatest masters have mentors. Find a mentor who has the depth of knowledge you need to guide you into further mastery.

Remember the law: -
For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. Learn the discipline of writing a card or a letter to a friend. Learn the discipline of paying your bills on time, or arriving to appointments on time, or using your time more effectively. Learn the discipline of paying attention, or paying your taxes, or paying yourself. Learn the discipline of having regular meetings with your associates, or your spouse, or your child, or your parent. Learn the discipline of learning all you can learn, of teaching all you can teach, of reading all you can read.

2. They think they have less skill than they do, so they never stop learning. On the flip side, you probably know someone who is continually signing up for lectures, who is always seeking an outside view on the best way to accomplish their goals, and who is spending most of their time absorbing knowledge.
Learning is vital to our continued growth, but learning without implementing what you learn is useless. Stop storing the knowledge you absorb and start to experiment with it; listen to your inner guidance on what fits your circumstances and put to use what you’ve learned. It’s important to find a source for growth that also helps you put your new knowledge into practice and to take the time to practice regularly so you can create new habits.

128.Hate a trait in someone? Make peace with the same trait in yourself.
- Someone who is insecure about their body, tends to body shame others too.
- Someone who is insecure about their money, tends to taunt others too.
129. Having hard time trusting others? Gradually start Trusting others.
- you cannot be trusted easily too.
- one way everyone tries to protect themselves from getting hurt, is by hurting others first.

Strategy
If you’ve got the right skills, the next step is to develop the right strategy.
A frenzy of activity does not necessarily lead to a lot of real results. Days when you are totally exhausted, stressed, and frustrated but have no real progress toward your goals are evidence that it’s time for a strategy update.
What if you don’t develop a strategy and just keep moving in random fits and starts toward your goals? You’ll likely get three long-term results:
A higher stress level
A lower level of satisfaction and happiness
A sense of failure at not accomplishing your dreams. You may already feel this way. But you don’t have to stay here. With a strategy, your productivity and your results could drastically change, and that translates into a brighter future. You could end up with:
Joy in your daily work
A regular sense of satisfaction and pride
The life of your dreams.
Don’t neglect your personal life for your professional one; remember to include some fun.

Focused Effort
Once you have a strategy, you can create focused effort to execute it.
Spend some time evaluating the kind of tasks you take care of on a daily basis. How are you using your hours? Do you find one or two things consistently pop up and steal your focus?
Ask yourself these questions to see how great your need is in the area of focus:
👉Are you spending more time on tasks than you originally planned?
👉Do you get interrupted multiple times a day?
👉Are you personally answering every request for help or information you receive?
👉Do you have multiple projects going at the same time?
If you answered yes to any of these, you could benefit from a refocus. Work with a mentor to further evaluate where your time is going and how you can narrow down your list of to-dos so you’re focused on what really matters.

Consistency
Of course, one super-focused day is not enough to get you where you want to go. You’ve got to show up consistently and stay focused over the long-term to reach those big goals but discipline is the heart of real progress and productivity.
Imagine what your life and business would look like if you could consistently work in your area of expertise using your highest skills, and executing an ambitious but realistic strategy with focused effort.
Imagine the sense of self-esteem you’d gain, the freedom and prosperity you’d earn for yourself and your family, and the joy and peace you’d feel in your work.

- The more you try to impress someone, it will be hard to grab their attention.

A Note for the Inner-self
Dear me,
"If you are looking for leadership you don't have to always look up at the front to find it. Great leadership doesn't start out on the stage. It doesn't start out being as governors, mayors, presidents, CEOs or managers. Great leadership starts out in the back. The truth of the matter is, the great leaders come from the ordinary places. " Bishop T.D. Jakes
May you always be reminded that in what seems as a small job you can do great things, by being more at the background you can be more visible, by doing what many consider as a small insignificant task you can achieve more and by being of service to many you can accomplish great deals. And at all times as Dr. Wayne W. Dyer beautifully puts it die to your ego and live to the greatness with in you and free your soul from being a hostage to your ego and start being a host to God: to humility, kindness and hope.
May you have a gratifying Monday and a week filled with gratifying experiences and humbling encounters!

Positive reinforcement builds good habits.
If the habits you’re practicing are increasing your success, keep doing them. Your success is reaffirming that these habits are good. Your success tells you that you need to keep doing what you are doing. By reviewing the habits that lead you to success, you reinforce them. You give them staying power.
By reviewing your habits, you might find out that some of them are inhibiting your success. You might find out that what you’re doing every day is bad for you. Or you might realize that you’ve stopped practicing some very good habits. Somebody says, “Well, I’ve just gotten out of a bad habit of taking my daily walk around the block.” Well, I guess you’ll just have to get in the habit of being sick later on. Somebody says, “Well, I used to read books all the time; I’ve just gotten out of the habit.” Then change it. Get back your disciplines. If you’ve “just gotten out of the habit,” just get back into the habit. It’s called discipline.

Positive reinforcement creates the energy to fuel additional achievement.
It gives you the drive to do more, to not only keep on doing what’s right, but to do more of what’s right. The knowledge that what you’re doing is paying off creates more energy to keep going.
How easy is it to get up in the morning when you know you’re not doing all that it takes? It’s not very easy at all! You can just lie there, awake, thinking, Oh, what’s a few more minutes in bed. It won’t matter much anyway. Wrong! It does matter. It will matter. How easy is it to get up in the morning when you’re anxious to make progress toward your dreams? It’s a whole different story.

When you’re resting to renew your reserves, it’s much different than resting to avoid your day. When you’re psyched up and excited about life, when you’re excited about what you’ve planned to accomplish for the day, it’s amazing how you’ll wake up long before the alarm clock tries to startle you awake.
Your successes fuel your ambition. Your successes give you extra energy. Your successes pave the way for more successes. It’s the snowball effect. When you achieve one success, you’re excited to meet another… and another… and another. Pretty soon, the disciplines that were so difficult in the beginning—the disciplines that got you going—are now part of your philosophy. And they keep you going.
