The Two Most Important
Words To Your Development
In this article,
I’m going to explain to you the two most important words
to your development. Your development means achieving your goals
and developing yourself in all areas of your life. You will benefit
from these words by integrating them into your vocabulary and
applying them.
The first
word is “start”. To reach the end, you have to have
a beginning. Start things up. Let me tell you something you probably
already know but maybe hadn’t thought about really consciously
until now. There is no perfect time to start something. So why
wait? There’s no reason. Many people describe their goals
as “When I…X” or “When X happens”
where “X” is the condition they’re waiting on
and will continue to wait on.
Just get up
and running. If you want to do something well, it’s worth
doing badly at first. It’s the way we all learn. My philosophy
is to just start up and go for it. When I take one step, the next
step will be revealed to me. Sure, I may not know what the heck
I’m doing and yet I believe in myself enough to figure it
out. If I don’t know what to do, I have the second most
important word to lean on, which I’ll describe later in
this article. Just take one step. Promise yourself to take one
small action every day.
Again, there
won’t be any perfect time. Shoot, I can wait years for the
stars to align, for the ocean tide to be high, for my astrological
sign to be aligned with the moons of Jupiter and so on and so
forth until I get the right “sign” to begin. But meanwhile,
I’m burning up my most precious commodity; my time.
When you burn
up your time, it’s like you’re taking the present
that the Universe/God/The Great Spirit is giving you and slapping
it away. And you can never get it back. My point is to just start
doing something. Do it badly if you must and just say, “Hey,
I’m going to find out some of the ways this won’t
work and when I run out of ways it won’t work, I’m
going to succeed.” It’s true. Run out of ways NOT
to succeed and you’re bound for success.
Think about
something you do incredibly well now. This could be at your job,
at home, with your hobby, with your family, or in sports. At some
point in your past, you probably weren’t as good as you
are now, are you? You may have even been downright rotten. What
happened? You kept at it and you got better and now you’re
successful at it. See friend, this part of the article is not
groundbreaking. I’m just reminding you, “Hey, remember
when you didn’t do something well but now you do? Well,
anything you want to do well now but aren’t so red hot at
is just the same experience repeated.”
You’ve
got all the resources in you to do it. This is undeniably true.
You’ve been less-than-excellent in the past and now you
are excellent at something. You learned one skill which means
you can do it again, now. And I do mean right now! Not tomorrow,
not the next day. Now, now, now, now. You get the drift of what
I’m saying, don’t you?
So after you
get up and running, you may run into snags. Snags are obstacles
you meet on your journey to success. Still, I commend you for
using the first word “start” to get rolling. <Kent
pauses to salute you!> Now here comes the second most important
word to your personal development ever. Are you ready? It is “help”.
Help, to me, is a near magical word. You can summon others to
help you achieve what you want.
Ask for help
early and often. For whatever you want to do, achieve, or solve,
there is someone or something out there who not only knows how
to help you but who WANTS to help you too! They may have already
handled this challenge you’re facing. Stubborn pride cost
me a lot because I wouldn’t ask for help from others in
the past. I thought I had to do it all alone. Meanwhile, I wasted
time fumbling around while another person could have immediately
helped me.
Any worthwhile
pursuit will have snags along the way. So get help when you find
them. Defeat the snag and move on to bigger and better things.
And when you get help, pass along your expertise too to others
so that everyone benefits.
There you
go. ‘Start’ and ‘help’ are the two words
that will put you on the path to achieving your every goal and
living the life of your dreams. Congratulations. As you imagine
leading your dream lifestyle, you can picture it now so clearly,
and tell yourself inside how great a job you did, as you feel
wonderful with this powerful sense of achievement…you can
remind yourself that you did it because you got started and you
asked for help along the way.
