The Power of Working Hard Using a Vision?

Post by TopHatFox »

I admit, having a very concrete goal of saving X as fast as possible for Y, has made it so much easier to work 60 hour weeks for the past 3 months. For example, when someone says: "are you free to take my shift, or can you work on Z?", I jump at the opportunity with excitement. Also excellent with getting promoted. I've been offered two improvements in on-campus jobs already as a result of working a lot and doing it with an optimistic attitude.

Thanks ERE. ^_^

It's funny how such efforts often create positive feedback loops -- but they do.

The power of a vision you say? Above is a short ESPN video on the childhood vision that powered Arnold Swarzenegger.

and be careful visualising what you want, you might convince yourself you have already achieved it and don't need to put the work in.

That happens to me sometimes. I will make a mental note to do something, and later will think I did it when I didn't. I hate when that happens.
