Rejuvenated

For the past few months i've been a blogging and writing delinquent. The truth is that I had lost some of my spunk.There was just something missing and I was feeling very demotivated. I struggled with deciding what I wanted to do with this blog and truth is I'm not gonna change much. It's a reflection of me and the stage i'm at in my life. The haphazard but completemotions of my life and I love it as is. So this is just to tell you all .......i'm back! :-) I still won't blog much due to my exams coming up but look for great things this year. They brave may fall but never yield.
 Much Love my sweets, Nella

Be a thinker and a doer

There is always that one student who seems to have an absolute command on everything that he or she does. They are deeply involved in co-curriculars, perform exceptionally well in their academics and they are not lacking in social skills either. These students often called super teens seem to have something that most teens lack.........a thinker-doer attitude.

The world often separates people into thinkers and doers. The thinkers think and the doers do. Thinkers make plans and detailed appraisals but doers get things done. We often cast these impressions unto ourselves and facilitate our grouping into one of these categories. However, what good does it do to be a doer and not a thinker? There is a quote that says: "Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk."

That being said how can we achieve that balance? How can we execute that thinker-doer behaviour?  We must first think….then do.

1)      Set Clear Goals- Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. Use your goals as a tool for motivating yourself to turn your dreams into a reality. Identify precisely what you want to achieve and note where you want to concentrate your efforts.

2)    Begin with the end in mind- Visualize the end point of your goal and make a plan of action to achieve your goals. Make it realistic and specific to your own needs. One way you can do this is to imagine working backwards from the end point and create a map identifying every step on your journey. Keep the vision of you major goals and dreams at the forefront of your mind.

3)      Set small and intermediate goals- Sometimes when we have large goals we may feel overwhelmed and give up within weeks or even days of setting this goal. A good way to prevent this is to set smaller goals that you can keep track of and cross off every time it is achieved. Small and intermediate goals help you to gain more information. The smaller goals can help you to measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals and thus improve self-confidence in your own abilities.

4)      Take action- You can’t get ahead by sitting on your behind. The major innovators and movers&shakers that really make an impact in any industry are thinkers and doers. They are open to new ideas, new concepts and are constantly trying to improve or change the way things are done. They create effective plans and brilliant strategies for their success. Then they supplement this with efficiently getting tasks done. If you make a plan and don’t take steps to implement it and take action to achieve your goals then you have been twice defeated.

‘If you’re bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, then you don’t have enough goals.’ ~ Lou Holtz
