EDU- FOCUS: GET FIRED UP!

There is always a time when our morale drops, whether in academics, during preparation for major competition or general dealings of life. That is the point when we have to search deep within and mentally help ourselves back on track and even more pepped up. The current demand in our today’s world has left us with no choice but to keep up the right spirit within us, considering the competition in the world and the energy zapping words and actions flying around giving us reasons to throw in the towel after one or at most two attempts. This is not the story of any successful person on earth, they stayed through to what they believed in and fought their fight and as we speak, they are still in the battle of maintaining the success.

This special edition of Edu-Focus will be helping us wind down the 2019-2020 academic session in style and on high as we activate the positive vibe within and do away with energy draining agents around us. There are key secrets that will be shared here which will reveal some secrets of always waking up and looking forward to each day with the right attitude.

Gratitude to nature and your spiritual incline for the journey so far: The importance of gratitude cannot be over flogged. One who is always grateful for the little things will certainly navigate him/her to the big one. The very first breath in the morning should ooze appreciation to nature and God. That is the first and important attitude to embrace every day. As you do that, you have simply welcomed the day then you watch what it presents. There certainly will be challenges but your approach towards it will be different and deliberate. It is important to have a constant grateful heart. Carry it with you every time, everyday and everywhere.

Eyes on the goal with simplified steps towards attaining them daily: Your eye has to be glued to the task at hand, be it studies, project, preparation for any event. Focus on the prize which will make you remain fired up. Let’s quickly tap from the athletes, who in spite of the rigorous training schedule and pain, keep pushing, all these are simply because they are fired up within with their eyes on the goal. A constant daily, deliberate and positive step will lead you to your desired point.

Feeling of fulfillment and if possible reward for a job well done immediately after the task has been completed: Once you have been able to complete the task at hand successfully, naturally there is joy from within and expressed on the outside. This feeling cannot be held back. It is important we reward ourselves in our little or make a deliberate plan to do so once the task had been achieved, that will help us remain fired.

Another crucial reason that keeps us fired up is our humble background: For some of us, our parents gave all they can and would have to see that we get the best and seeing them go through that, has spurred us every time to attain our goals, and be better than our role models.
