Note: This article is by Erin Falconer, who talks about some of the factors that rekindle our desire to work and not give up.
American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe says, "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
Think with a Billionaire’s Mindset
Billionaires intrigue me, not because of their wealth but for their mindset, especially the self-made ones. Imagine how determined one is to become a billionaire with their personal effort and fatigue despite the almost impossible obstacles that stand in their way.
Statistics show that in 2011, there were 946 billionaires around the world, and in 2014, their number reached 1,645 billionaires with a total wealth of $6.5 trillion, which is a splendid amount. Regardless of people's beliefs about the rich, they do not gain wealth because they are fraudsters but because they are intelligent and diligent. To become a billionaire, you need to overcome several mental and emotional obstacles and have deep faith not to give up.
Since current economic trends hinder everyone who seeks success, building this wealth needs to change the mechanism of your thinking and actions, have an inherent belief in yourself, constant motivation, and an unwavering desire to succeed.
The more you help people get what they want, the more you get what you want. This simple wisdom is the essence of the rich person's philosophy, so self-made billionaires maintain an unwavering level of flexibility and mental toughness.
Malcom Gladwell, Cal Newport, and Robert Greene are among the authors who have written about the connection between talent and success.
They emphasize that they were not born talented or lucky; they gradually attained their success through unwavering perseverance and dedication. For years, scientists and behavioral economists debated whether it was human instinct that determined their talent and ability to succeed or the environment in which they grew up, and many tried to agree on what it takes to be talented.
Scientists specializing in evolutionary psychology have recently begun to use the term “nurture nature” to suggest that the environment in which a person grew up plays an essential role in their success, without denying that their genes are equally important.
The American writer Simon Sinek says, "Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound."
Important factors to motivate you to succeed
1. The relentless desire to succeed
Think back to the last time you were learning a new skill or something new, and you may have reached a point where you gave up and announced your surrender.
Success involves not giving up, whatever the external factors. Author and management expert Robin Sharma offers the following advice: “If people do not make fun of your insanity at least once a week, your dreams are too small.” That is, you do not try to exceed your capabilities.
We often think that we will reap the fruits of our hard work immediately, but weeks, months, or years may pass without seeing clear signs of success, and you may get frustrated at this stage and give up when success is imminent.
Most people live with this scenario. We strive to obtain evidence of our success, calculating that the fruits of our effort will quickly yield frank, positive results. At this crucial stage, we must trust that events are going in our favor even if we do not realize it, so be patient, optimistic, and believe in your success, even before it pays off.
2. Gradually broaden your horizons
Many people think that they have to put everything on the line and sacrifice everything they have to achieve their dreams, and this is a misguided assumption that goes back for many reasons, but gradual improvements often lead to greater returns.
Author Darren Hardy makes this point in his award-winning book, The Compound Effect. To gradually expand your horizons beyond your comfort zone should be your goal. That helps you discover yourself more by taking the plunge. Take calculated risks, and you can identify your mistakes rationally and wisely.
3. Enjoy the trip
When you refuse to give up, you regain the most critical motivation to pursue your goals, and once you set a goal, enjoying the journey becomes the ultimate goal.
Despite working ten hours a day, I frequently reflect on my week's accomplishments and ways to improve my performance the following week by the time the weekend rolls around. I don't feel like I'm working; rather, I feel like I'm on an enjoyable mental excursion away from work. Finding your passion and enthusiastically following it will help you avoid work pressure when you enjoy what you do.
In conclusion
If you are thinking of giving up, I hope this article has rekindled your enthusiasm to move forward. Remember that perseverance and dedication are traits of successful people, so take it and build your vision for your ideal future, be optimistic and have a positive mindset to enjoy success, and never give up; no one knows when they will be lucky.
