If you want to become more discipline and consistent in your performance, you need to become more disciplined and consistent in your growth. How can you do that? By knowing the what, how,why, and when of personal improvement. Take some time to consider the following four questions about your growth:
1.Do you know what you need to improve?
You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to bed with satisfaction. That’s true, but its important to know where to direct that determination.
I’ve already discussed this in some detail, but I think it bears repeating. You must develop yourself to be successful. All the time I see people with purpose who are inconsistent in their progress. They have the ambition to succeed and they show aptitude of their job, yet they do not move forward. Why? Because they think they can master their job and don’t need to master themselves. What a mistake. Your future is dependent upon your personal growth. Improving your daily guarantees you a future filled with possibilities. When you expand your horizons, your options, your opportunities, your potential.
You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to be with satisfaction" -George lorimer.
2. Do you know how you are supposed to improve?
Do you have a handle on how to improve yourself? I have four very simple suggestion that can get you started:
- Match your motivation to your personality type.
- Start with the simple stuff.
- Be patient.
- Value the process.
3.Do you know why you want to keep improving?
Knowing what to improve and how to improve are critical to consistency in person growth. But so knowing is why. The how and what will take you only so far. The why is what keeps you motivated long after that first rush energy and enthusiasm wear off. It can carry you through when willpower isn't enough. Think of it as why-power.
Having a strong why will help you to keep going when the discipline of learning becomes difficult, discouraging, or tedious. If your growth is connected to your value, dreams, and purpose, you'll know why you're doing it. And you will be more likely to follow through.
One of the way to judge whether you have tapped into your whys is to take "Why test." Your answer to the following seven questions will let you know if your why is solid enough to motivate you to consistently grow:
- Do you constantly procrastinate on important task?
- Do you require coaxing to do small chores?
- Do you perform duties just to get by?
- Do you constantly talk negatively about your work?
- Do effort of friends to encourage you irritate you instead?
- Do you start small project and abandon them?
- Do you avoid self improvement opportunities?
If you answer yes to many of these questions, you haven't tapped into a strong enough or big enough why to keep you growing. You have to give yourself more and bigger whys so you can keep wanting to put in the effort to grow.
- "once you learn to quit it becomes a habit" ---Vince lombardi
The compound effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices. What's most interesting about this process to me is that, even though the results, are massive, the steps, in the moment, don't feel significant. Whether you're using strategy for improving your health, relationships, finances, or anything else for that matter, the changes are so subtle, they're almost imperceptible. These small changes offer little or no immediate result, no big win, no obvious I told yo so payoff. so why bother?
Most people get tripped up by the simplicity of the compound effect. For instance, They quit after eight day of running because they're still overweight. Or, they stop practicing the piano after six months because they haven't mastered anything other than "chopsticks." What they don't realize is that these small, seemingly insignificant steps completed consistently over time will create a radical difference.
- When you make the right choices-however small- and do it consistently over time, it can make a huge difference in your life. If you remember why you're making those choices, it becomes easier.
4. Do you know when you are supposed to improve?
The final piece of the puzzle is the question of when. When do you need to improve? First the obvious answer: right now. Today. You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. That means developing great habits. Discipline is the bridge between goal and accomplishments, and that bridge must be crossed every day. Over time that daily crossing becomes a habit. And ultimately, people do not decide their future; they decide their habits and their habits decide their future.
What are you doing daily that needs to change? What needs doing? Maybe more important, what needs undoing? What are you willing to change doing today in order to change what you will be doing tomorrow?
In the end, hard work is really the accumulation of easy things you didn't do when you should have. It's diet and exercise, Everyone wants to be thin, but no one wants to make the right choices to get there. It's hard work when you've neither eaten right nor exercised day after day. However, if you make small right choices each day, day after day, you see results.
