30 Of The Hardest (But Most Necessary) Things That Must Be Done To Achieve SuccessElite Daily Success is defined differently for everyone; however, facing difficulties on the road to success is a common denominator for anyone pursuing his or her passions. What separates those who see their dreams through and those who don’t is the ability to do what others will not. Everyone can dream of eventual success, but accomplishing one’s goals requires taking on the difficult tasks and functions for which many people do not have the courage or stamina. Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” Taking on the hard tasks time and time again is what defines a person’s character and generates the most rewarding results. Here are the 30 hardest things you need to do to be successful: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.Turn the complex into simple, so people can best share your vision. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Conscious Living in 5 Easy Steps What do we mean by conscious living? I suppose having greater self-awareness, and operating from a state of presence for longer periods, generally describes the term. A state of enlightenment even. Now becoming enlightened is one thing, maintaining this state in a world of ever increasing distractions is quite another. Here are 5 steps to keep you on track. 1. Inner stillness is one of the most important things you need to cultivate higher consciousness. How will this make me more conscious? When you allow stillness to develop you come to realise that your thoughts are not you, only the content of your mind. How will it benefit others? You become like a tuning fork. 2. Taking things and people for granted is a sign of unconscious or automated living. By actively seeing the good in others we become less wrapped up in our own concerns. It makes them feel worthwhile and not taken for granted. 3. Recent studies have shown that kind acts can help raise levels of consciousness. 4. 5. Eoin Meegan

10 simple mindfulness exercises — All Considering I was eating at an Ethiopian restaurant yesterday. For those not familiar with that cuisine, the food is served on thin pancakes and one is supposed to eat one’s dinner with the right hand. For me it was a painful exercise in overcoming my conditionings. In this post I’m stepping away from the abstract philosophical to the practical every day. The exercises below are meant for those times when you are so fluttered you bump into doors and chairs, for instance. Mind your feet while you’re grocery shopping. In all these cases the point isn’t to beat yourself over the head if you can’t do it consistently. If you liked that, you may also like these mindfulness calendars and mindfulness books.
Reevaluate Your Life In 10 Minutes | Mindzette - Life Hacking I’m 24, which means that most of my friends are asking themselves some version of — What’s next? For me, journalism was out. That career dream died the day I actually imagined myself holed up in a news room, busting out click bait. I thought about advertising, PR, doing biz-dev for a web video outfit that did story-based branding (would you like another buzzword with that?), even joining a tech startup. It was at a very boring cocktail party that I was struck with a novel thought (to me). But when I spoke to people I wanted to work with, we always focused on skills. We identify our careers more with the industries we work in than with the skills we bring to them. This is silly. So why do we still talk about our futures as siloed in a single sector? It’s more useful to start thinking of our futures in terms of the skills we want to develop. I put my insight into action the day after the party by sitting down and making a list of everything I liked to do. That threw me for a loop.
» The Habit of Starting Post written by Leo Babauta. The biggest reason people fail at creating and sticking to new habits is that they don’t keep doing it. That seems obvious: if you don’t keep doing a habit, it won’t really become a habit. So what’s the solution to this obvious problem? Find a way to keep doing it. When you look at it this way, the key to forming a habit is not how much you do of the habit each day (exercise for 30 minutes, write 1,000 words, etc.), but whether you do it at all. Let me emphasize that: the key to forming a habit is starting each day. What do I mean by starting? Form the habit of starting, and you’ll get good at forming habits. How to Start When You Face Resistance Form the habit of starting — easier said than done, right? Let’s first take a look at why you don’t feel like starting. You are comfortable with what you’re doing (reading online, probably), and the habit is less comfortable (it’s too hard). Those are the main two reasons, and really they’re the same thing.
A Victim Treats His Mugger Right Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner. But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn. He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife. "He wants my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, 'Here you go,'" Diaz says. As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. The would-be robber looked at his would-be victim, "like what's going on here?" Diaz replied: "If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then I guess you must really need the money. "You know, I just felt maybe he really needs help," Diaz says. Diaz says he and the teen went into the diner and sat in a booth. "The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi," Diaz says.
