FACTORS
WHICH ENCOURAGE DILIGENCE
MOTIVATION:
The biggest
and most available source of motivation you have and will ever have is YOU, yes
you. People or things might motivate you but it’s just for a while and the rest
lies in your hands. The bible says …and David encouraged himself in the Lord;
it doesn’t matter how discouraging or frustrating the situation you’re in now
is, just stay positive and stay motivated.
Learn to
venture into endeavors you’re passionate about, things you love doing because that
will aid your motivation tank to stay full.
Setting a
goal or target is equally an agent of motivation. There’s an old saying which
says ‘when the purpose of a thing is
not known, abuse is inevitable’. When you have a target you’re working hard to
achieve, it’s difficult to get discouraged, hence, when the purpose of a
business is not known, discouragement is inevitable.
You want to
be diligent? Then, stay motivated! Don’t Quit!!
DISCIPLINE:
An undisciplined
man is an irresponsible fellow and can never be diligent in anything. Indiscipline
is a sworn enemy of success and it fervently wars against wealth creation. Show
me a disciplined man and I will show you a wealthy man.
Discipline is
simply defined as being self controlled, knowing what and what not to do at
every point in time and knowing how to react or treat customers/business
partners even when pushed to the wall. Being resolute in your decisions even
when it is not easy to achieve depicts discipline.
In all your
dealings, be disciplined, always be punctual, be accountable, listen more, talk
less. Manage your profits with integrity; only spend on what you actually need
because an extravagant lifestyle is a luxury for a disciplined man.
Where Motivation
fails you, Discipline will definitely keep you.
CONCENTRATION:
A wise man
once said “distraction is a game”. You can choose to stay focused or get
distracted knowing that the distracted one is the person who loses at the end. Concentration
is the act of absolutely focusing on something and determining to see it get to a
desired height. Distraction is a sure path to failure because a distracted
person can never achieve a thing.
When a goal
is set, the maximum concentration given to it is directly proportional to the
outcome expected. This is why you have to set goals/targets, they give you
something to focus on, and hence you’re more concentrated.
Getting in so many things at a time will make you lose focus,
so learn to take it one step at a time for maximum concentration and invariably
maximum result.
RESPONSIBILITY:
This is the state or ability of being responsible, answerable,
or accountable for something within one’s power, control or management.
In all your endeavors on daily basis, you should be responsible
for every action or inaction you take and likewise, responsible for your mess.
Being responsible makes you less distracted, it helps you
think about what you do before you do them. Your deeds and misdeeds show how
responsible or irresponsible you are therefore, there's need for caution.
Your dreams depend on your responsibility to thrive, so don’t
fail your generation due to your irresponsibility. People are looking up to you,
waiting to share your success story, so don’t you disappoint them.
