Save the last
dollar. If you are a creative thinker, you might realise in years to come that on the long term, the
work you eventually co-create will bring you more fulfilment. So, start planning for
your years of personal cost-cutting. Even if it’s a dollar you are able to save
each month, save it. It will count during the famine.
Receive NOs with
thanksgiving.
When rejections come, let your determination
to emerge with better results rise above them. Be persistent and true to your
personal values. Stay true to your true friends. Love them as you love yourself. It is almost impossible
but it is about the only way to keep a good heart. If you have a good heart,
you can still have anything. If you have a bad heart, you can lose everything.
Talk less, do
more. Talk is
cheap, productive work is expensive. It will demand energy, money, time,
pressure and the very skills you lack. Endure and build inner strength. Save
energy by talking less and thinking more and achieving your intentions. Unless
you’re trying to inspire other people, talk is a waste of time; especially if
you’re telling the wrong people or those who can’t help or synergise with you.
Do selective
advertisement.
Network with people who are pursuing similar goals or already doing something
similar to what you want to do and broadcast the briefs of your ideas. Speak
your heart out to those who can help out. Tell the gist of your story in places
where the vocal power would not amount to a waste of energy.
Don’t commit
suicide. It’s
very fine to make where your parents peaked your own starting point. It’s okay
to set their highest points as the lowest points on your life’s script. But, do
not be mean to yourself for the things you are unable to do now. Even if in the
worst case scenario of your forecasted progress rate, you do not get to fulfil
some previous objectives, you can achieve other goals and believe that things
will fall into place with time.
Do your best. When your priorities change
for reasons that are most conducive for you and everyone concerned, adjust the
associated goal. Do your best to achieve it.
Celebrate. Commemorate achieved goals.
Give yourself a good treat. Experience heaven on earth.
Reset. Follow a histogram pattern
of goal pursuit. Chase goals in standing progressions along your timeline. As
you achieve more goals, drop the excesses and reset new short term goals in
view of your mid and long term goals.
