How to Stay Passionate for a Long Period of Time !

Today, in this blog post we are going to throw some light on the methods and tactics we could use to stay passionate in every work that we execute.

Often it happens that we get carried away with a countless number of pings from social networking sites and we forget about the issue at hand, thus leading to a steady decline in our motivation for being in the top form for a long period of time.

Let alone such small distractions, even life sometimes throws its worst turns at us, mostly banging in without a prior notice.

So how can we make sure that we are on track much longer than these circumstances are there in our lives ?

How can we stay in-the-game and be exceptionally superbly productive in our fields, no matter what comes up ?

Here I am explaining to you 4 simple tactics that you can easily include in your everyday life so that you can be a world-class performer wherever you act.

Without further adieu, let’s dial into them.

1)    SURROUND yourself with people you model. This simple tactic is often neglected by many of us. No matter what you say, this one comes in the most important criteria to determine your future success. The company you keep and the language you use with them, everything showcases your internal belief system. 

There is no genius level player who will ever hang out with the mediocrity. All the reason behind such an act is that our brains are hardwired to aim for something bigger, better and advanced to our current circumstances. This is more or less like a fundamental human need. We want a new house or a new car or a new investment just because we are interested in making our lifestyle more advanced. This is the same reason why all of us want to roam around with people of higher social status than us. 

I gently suggest you the following points :-

1)          Start spending some quality time with such people so that you could absorb their positivity and passion.

2)          Make it a habit of staying in touch with such people no matter what.

3)          Respect their time but be determined to stay on your toes for new teachings from them.

4)          Start inviting them over to lunches and dinners. This way you will not only be connected to them personally but emotionally as well. (Remember that a business is less about net worth and much more about your network)

5)          If in case, your “guru” isn’t a person present in your life physically; either follow them through their books or via blogs or any other medium so that you are in touch with them on a constant basis.

2)    SERVE. Help someone who didn’t ask you for help. This is called as serving the humanity. We all can help those who ask it from us. But only a few of us are willing to go ahead and help someone who didn’t ask it. Serving others ignites the flame of passion in us to a very deep level. Being helpful is a great quality to possess. Serving others gives a sense of satisfaction, no matter where you are or who you are.
It provides you the needed push and a mega message that what you are doing will help others too. Go out there today and make a stranger smile or make a new friend today or go to an old age home and spend some time with those neglected people. They are devoid of love and care, please go there and make them smile. I can bet my life on it that you will return home completely moved from inside. 

Please don’t think that I suggest serving others as a selfish way to gain passion, as per me, it is the best way you can contribute to the world. Because as you get passionate, you can contribute more and so that you could contribute more; you need to pump up yourself with passion.

3)    SACRIFICE. There is a very powerful motivational force hidden in the sacrifices made for dream accomplishment. Have you ever put in more than your best in your project? If yes, then you must have felt a sense of accomplishment after doing it. As per the scientific researchers, when we extend ourselves beyond our limits to accomplish the tasks we dearly hold, a chemical called as dopamine is released in our brains. Dopamine is a huge motivational neurotransmitter which provides our brain a sense of relief. It not only does that, it also makes our mind happy and satisfactory. And we all know that only a happy mind can focus again and better on the next following task. 

When you will sacrifice something, be it your sleep or junk food or an outing with friends, of course, your heart will suggest you to delay the project at hand, but I believe that is the very moment when we should be sacrificing those materialistic short term pleasures. It will be difficult for a few starting steps but later it will get stronger like a muscle constantly worked upon in the gym.

4)    SIMPLIFY. 

Cluttered minds will always have a cluttered desk.

Our mind craves clarity, simplicity, and peace. All of these three can never be found in a place where filthiness resides. Make your workstation (or your “oasis”) clutter free as much as you can, devoid of any distractions. Even a smallest of distraction is enough for getting you off track from the task at hand. 

The thumb rule here is – a messy workplace will often result in messy productivity. 

No great business or craft can be achieved if your laboratory is full of a lot of unnecessary accessories. Similarly, you need to bulletproof your mindset so as to neglect things that matter least to you and your objective.

There is truly nothing in the world that a single focused man cannot achieve. Attain this mindset of “zero messiness” in your work and your mindset, and you’ll become an unstoppable force of nature assured to change the world in a very elegant way.

Apply these ideas in your workplace and your inner life and do comment below to let me know your experiences.

Go get your dreams done.

Till next time.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.

GENIUS (2)

As promised, here I am sharing with you some superb ideas and tactics to be implemented in your life so that you can achieve your own unique form of greatness.

In this series, I'll be walking you through another acronym of the word GENIUS where I have broken down the simple tactics of a genius and will be explaining them to you using each letter of the word GENIUS. Yeah, I know this is crazy, but this acronym fever will get over soon.

In my, this blog post I am going to share with you how to be best among the crowd and how you can tune up your levels of performance to a new higher level of frequency to just rock the floor like you would never have... Here we go :-

G :- Grow yourself.

None of us is perfect. We're all works in progress. Constantly we keep on focusing our vision on a new higher goal every time we accomplish one. For this we require to grow ourselves in every way possible, body and mind both. Growing yourself is not just concerned with keeping yourself fit, growing yourself means getting yourself fitter every time you step into the gym. Growing by mind involves the process that when we sit on our desk to work, we always end up innovating a more every time. This is the number one rule of the rare gems of the world. They always focus on growing themselves in both, mind and body simultaneously.

E :- Evaluate yourself

After every examination, our answer papers are checked by the examiner. Our results are then given and we work harder if we are getting off track. Similarly, we all need to evaluate ourselves for a while, every now and then.

 Is your work ethics in alignment with your dream map?

Are your actions in line with what you are saying?

 Are you walking your talk?

  
Evaluation is so very much important. Evaluation is the key that does the refinement in the crafting skill of the sculpture of a man in pursuit of his eye-opening dreams.

N :- Nurture yourself

You must be confused that what is the difference between the Growing yourself and Nurturing yourself. Growing is of mind and body. Nurturing is by the soul. We all have some bad qualities in us, am no exception, but it is the resilience that keeps me going. We all, including me, go through many incidents and meet many people, from whose influence we are highly prone to copy paste their negativities in us.

Because if we do suck them up just like the sponge... Ultimately we're gonna be the ones who'll be dirty. Nurturing can be done by making your soul pure and clear. Free from any form of hatred. Filling it with love. Love for humanity... Love for the work you do... Love for the people who matter to you and those for whom you matter ... Love for the power that has created you.

I :-  Innovate in your work

The only inoculation of a lifeless life is Innovation. Albert Einstein has put it so beautifully when he said: "insanity is doing the same thing every time and expecting different results." Every time you do your work, be so exceptional that you stun the world with your genius. Am a big fan of Usher. The way he sings and he dances, it's just wow! I mean whenever I see his dance moves, there's always a bit of freshness to it. That's an example of innovation at work. 

U :- Understand yourself

All of us are a part of one earth, one Galaxy, and one universe. We all have similar looking body parts like one nose, two eyes etc. Still, we differ a lot. We differ in what's really inside us. Just imagine what would happen if Usher starts to play the soccer in place of Messi and Messi starts to sing? Might be they'll be good at those other arts but they definitely won't be doing iconic in it, like they currently are in their respective fields. That's the same thing I wanna share with you. Be iconic in what you do. And this can only be done when we are aware of our negatives and positives. So to do it, understand yourself.

  Do this because the world is just an audience waiting to applaud for your tremendous performance.

S :- Sacrifice yourself

Let me share a story with you here, it fits in so perfectly.

There was a guy who used to play piano and violin very effortlessly during his era. He was very famous for the Genius in him. Even still to this day, many people adore him and give him respect. So what happened is that while doing and composing his music, he was struck by the bad luck and became deaf. And as the saying goes "God supports those who support themselves" still he used to draw big crowds to his stage shows. So on one of such fine days, he was playing his instruments and people were adoring for such a fine genius he is. When the show got over, the audience couldn't resist but give a standing ovation to him. But to their surprise, as this guy had stopped his piano, he got up and started collecting his stuff from there. His back was towards the audience that’s why he couldn't see their standing ovation. The audience was shocked to see this and a bit dishearten as well. Just then a friend of that guy came on stage and made his friend turn around to see what he was missing out. The audience was later crying to know the reason behind it because then they got to know that the guy playing the piano is deaf. You'll be shocked to know who he was. Ladies and gentlemen, that was Beethoven. Yes, the legend Beethoven. By the time he created his 7th symphony he was deaf. But that didn't stop him and he fought it and gave the world a true set of masterpieces and a fine example of burning passion.

In the end, I would like to remind you that the law of nature is "quid pro quo". You really can never get something for nothing.

Kindly notice a small child when he's doing up his work. They are always so passionate and alive while doing their work that they really don't care at that time whatever is happening around them. I recently noticed my small brother doing up his art. While he was fully engaged in his work, all of us in the house mattered the least to him.

Well, that's what being a genius is all about. Genius isn't about genetics, genius is all about your practice. This universe will support only those who devote themselves fully to their craft and they promise themselves to render the exquisite amount of creativity that the world just can't ignore the genius in them. They don't do it for the money they do it for the love. They do it for the immense amount of satisfaction that they get from it. So, please follow these ideas that I've just shared with you.Otherwise, you're taking away the right of this world to reap the benefits of the genius in you.

Till next time.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
