DO NOT GIVE UP: What Other People Think

People will always have something to say. People will always have an opinion about this and that. They will think about you and what you do, what you say, what you failed to do or say. That’s just how people are. Heck, you probably do it too.

No matter what, you have to know that what others think about when it comes to you does not matter. Most people will think they know you or what is best for you when in all actuality, they do not know what is best for themselves let alone think they know anything about anyone.

With that being said, You do not let them get to you and keep doing you. Keeping Moving Forward. Keep Learning and Growing.

Remember, Actions over Words all day, every day!

DO NOT GIVE UP: Lack of Quick Outcome

In a time in history where instant gratification is the norm, there will be times that we may get discouraged that things are not moving as fast as we believe they should be moving.

Everything and everyone moves at their own pace. Remember, you move at your own pace. While you may believe you are moving as fast as you can others may see you moving at a snail’s pace.

Your perception and their perception is subjective, don’t give up, you will get there.

PRIORITIZING and the Eisenhower Matrix

As I have been talking about doing what it takes to minimize distractions, tracking your time, ultimately it involves creating and setting priorities. Learning to prioritize, means you are on track to creating order where there is no order. Prioritizing is a necessary part of learning to lead yourself.

If you are not sure on how to proceed with creating and setting priorities, I recommend using the Eisenhower Matrix. The four quadrant Eisenhower Matrix is to be used to help you determine what is:
– URGENT & IMPORTANT
– IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT
– URGENT BUT NOT IMPORTANT
– NOR URGENT & NOT IMPORTANT

It is a simple yet effective prioritizing tool and it can easily be mastered and helps move to more complex prioritizing tools.

REMEMBER: ACTION is ALWAYS greater than WORDS
