Self talk

Although we have walked in the right track, doing what is right. We are not guarantee to be free of negative voices. There are 2 of the negative voices that we have to care about.

1. Others people talk.
2. Self talk.

Others talk can never stopping us. What ever they said it can not stopping us. Who can stop? Ourselves, so be careful for the self-talk. Self-talk can make us going forward, challenge us, stopping our walk or pushing us to return back. Self-talk can stimulate us to good or to wrong decision. It is good to talk and think the positive things.

I do not ask anyone to deny anything come from others. But if there is a negative thought comes nearer, be careful of our self talk. Self-talk can be controlled. It’s ours.

Break It Down!

Please imagine, if you ask someone to do your request and some days have passed no result has been made yet. So, you call him/ her and ask about the job requested. While you are asking he/ she answer you with this:

  1. I have start it earlier than ever.
  2. I have delegate it to any persons.
  3. I have make the schedule to make it finished in proper time.
  4. I have think it day and night even my sleeping time, etc

Are you happy to hear that? Are those things that we need to hear?
or did you ask for the result for what she/ he has done? Yes, we need the result not asked him/ her to tell us what she/ he had done.

Why we fail to make good result? Some of the reason is due to:

Goal/ target was not clear or no goals at all and/ or Goal was not S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable, Time phased/ trackable)

If we can not make goal SMART, we can not make it becomes reality as it was expected.
Think a moment. How can we finish to eat an elephant? Surely, by eating that elephant one bit at the time. How long? Depend on how much you ate at once. So make it easy to do what you are going to do by breaking it down, small piece at the small piece continuously.

By breaking goal step by step we can do it better. Do not try to do once for all. It’s same to plan to fail. Fail to plan is fail to plan.

Why not me, rather why me?

I often see the people who refuse a responsibility. The reason is usually referred to: Lact of capability, shame, fears, another is better, etc.
The rejection is based on willingness to be changed. It is better feeling to stay in current condition. Fail to see something valuable behind the responsibility has been asked to do.
If we feel lack of capability, this is the time to be capable. Learn to dare, dare to learn and learn something new. If you have a responsibility asked for in something where it surely can make you grow and mature, why not saying "why not me" instead of "why me".
 
Of course you have to be wise for choosing which responsibility will allows you to change better. This is not easy, but take the challenge for you. Be stronger, more capable in every assignment given to us. And you may believe SOMEONE unseen will carry you on. Go ahead, why not me?
