Discovering your inner strengths makes it easier for you to succeed here are 10 tips from experts which can help you checkmate in life.
KNOW WHEN NOT TO QUIT
If something isn’t working out for you, it’s tempting to assume you should stop wasting time trying. But persistence is a valuable trait many successful people share. There are various messages that tell us to give up: You don’t have time at the moment; you can try it another time; you’ve already done enough… Be ready for those close-to-quitting moments and seek support from friends and family members to encourage you to keep going. Think about whether it’s learning skills or helping others. When you come up against failure or disappointment, remind yourself that it’s an important part of succeeding, and see what you can learn from it.
LISTEN TO YOURSELF
In our fast-faced world, there’s a temptation to respond quickly to events and make on-the-spot decisions, whether it’s about hosting your mother-in-law’s 80th birthday party or agreeing that your teenage son’s girlfriend can join you on a family holiday. But that can mean you act before a situation has completely unfolded in your mind. To do what works best for you, you need to get in touch with your intuition – and that requires a bit of time and some quiet space to do it in. If you have to make a decision, whether big or small, let it settle for a while. Don’t actively think about it – just go about your day as usual and let your mind quietly turn it over. Take the old advice to “sleep on it” too. You’ll wake up with an answer that you intuitively have confidence in, even if it doesn’t please everyone.
