This is Part 3 of my series: Being. It takes a look at different elements to greatly improve not only your internal state, but also your outer success. Combining these four elements, you can achieve the impossible. To catch up, read Part 1, and Part 2. And once ready, be sure to finish the series by reading Part 4.
Welcome back for the third installment of my series “Being”. Here is a summary of the series thus far: First, you need to just be thankful. That’s it, pretty simple huh? Second, you want to start being available for success to happen, so in other words, put yourself in situations where this can occur. Today I will talk about another pillar to success, which is Being Patient.
Be conscious of what you are putting out to the divine reality.
A very common theme these days is to say something along the lines of: “I want this…” then following up with a time-frame. I will use an example I see all the time during the goal-setting portion of Kingpin Social Programs. Students typically will say: “I want to be good with women… in six months.” Now of course you need to define “good with women”, so the goal is measurable (ie:you know when you have achieved it.)
Logically speaking, if someone says a time-frame (six months for example), you would expect them wait at least six months before expecting to achieve it. This would seem like common sense, but frankly nowadays, it seems far fetched. Likely two weeks after making that statement, one will begin to wonder why they are not “good with women” yet; why they have not achieved this goal! Complaining (not being patient) is an unhealthy habit for obvious reasons, but it also comes with a few side effects. A few of these include: increased stress, increased anxiety, and increased negative energy.
Take this with a grain of salt and understand this is not to say you should avoid using time-frames. Remember to be aware of them, and thus, stick with it. A trick you can use is called milestones. For example, if you have a goal of “being good with girls” in six months, I recommend also defining milestones to accomplish along the way. This method is called small chunking it in. So although your end goal is six months away, you have smaller – (sometimes easier) goals to accomplish in the meantime, and this will allow you to stay motivated. A few reasons why this works:
a) You are seeing growth, you are accomplishing goals;
b) You have a fresh goal quite often, which is easy to get motivation for;
All of these are very crucial in seeing consistent growth and avoiding stagnation; which you will need to have in order accomplish big time goals.
What are some of your goals? Share them with me!
