Why Focusing on Contributions (Not Goals) Will Supercharge Your Motivation and Drive

–

We’ve all heard of the saying, vague plans lead to vague results. Here’s how you can super charge your drive to achieve YOUR unthinkable! Here’s how you can convert that burning desire into unstoppable action and ultimately your life’s purpose.

Take A Look Back

Pause momentarily in your life’s journey to look back at how your life has shaped up. List the outcomes and take a stock of all the things that have happened to you or because of you. Instead of focusing on what didn’t work, focus on what happened and what must happen next.

Allow Abstraction To Guide You

Use abstraction, the art of using the wisdom of our ancestors to apply solutions to age old problems. It’s not necessary to reinvent the wheel all the time, every problem might have been worked out in some way or another in the past.

Define Your Success

Set yourself on a path to a success and winning mindset. But, before that define what a successful outcome is for you. Not something you have adapted from others or what society thinks of you “making it”. Your goals and your timelines must be on your own terms.

The Greeks Got Your Back

Think of what wisdom our philosophers left for us. Success is trying our ultimate best, and leaving the rest. The things that are out of our control are simply not to be worried about.

What Makes Sustainability

Anything that must outlive us will have to be both positive and timeless. A sustainable goal must genuinely want to solve and change the existing status quo. And our drive and passion also become sustainable when we understand how far we have come in our own personal growth journey.

Think Contributions

Inspite of everything else, a sustainable goal is an intention. Its a choice you’re making to commit to all bite sized tasks that make up that Herculean goal you have in front of you. Is that goal self serving or serving the greater good? That’s a question you cannot to forget to ask yourself.
