Preparation. Hard work will pay off some day. Stick to what you are doing no matter how hard things get. Pull the all-nighters, spend the hours from the first crack of dawn, even though you just want to be done. The quality of intense effort and focused execution to follow through with your goals are the most important aspects of reaching success. Following the game plan and not making short cuts, checking off the steps you have set up for yourself to complete, and talking to yourself in the mirror every day for that extra boost in confidence.
I used to be very skeptical about this idea. I would always see those people who claim that they didn't work hard, but their results would prove the opposite. They had to have been doing something. How could they just slack off and succeed beyond their goals? Then I realized that they weren't telling me about it. Behind the scenes, they were putting in their blood, sweat, and tears without anyone knowing. No one told them that they had to. It came from within. They wanted to do well and were willing to do whatever it took. You have to really want it. It has to come from you. Maybe just doing the homework required or the practice outside of the sport is not enough. The best athletes and students keep it hush hush. They are exceeding the level of effort and hard work that is expected from them.
And sometimes all it takes is a wakeup call. Sometimes we have to make a mistake to remind us to get back to work. Distractions, wasting time with unimportant factors, and procrastinating the work that we planned to get done are all mistakes that we make. But do we keep making them or do we take a look in the mirror and convince ourself that we need to stop? We shake ourselves out of that slump and remind ourselves of our goal. We must be willing to say no to pleasurable activities to focus on achieving our goal. But that should never be a burden holding us back. It should be something we are fine doing because it will get us to where we want to be. Hard work and success are directly proportional. We will see our results. That's just the way it is.
Nothing you want to work will happen. You have to work for something to happen. Write down your goals and remind yourself every day if you are doing everything necessary to meet those expectations. Take a look in the mirror and talk to yourself to boost your confidence. Tell yourself that you are going to get the job done. Tell yourself that you can do it. Tell yourself to smile and do your best. Tell yourself that you got this. It's a conversation worth having. With the right attitude and determination, the world is yours!
