You should overcome these 3 myths now
Chase your dreams with access
The world always tries to frame you in different ways. But a person who wants to live a life that he/she wants doesn’t care about it. If you want to skyrocket yourself, you have to break the frame. I realized that some advice I have followed since childhood were myths, and anyone should not follow those misleading myths. I this post I will tell you about 3 myths that were limiting us for past years. I’m telling you, the list is not limited to three, it goes on. But I will tell you the most common 3 myths that you should overcome now to get control of your life.
Work Hard will pay off: Overcome these myths
True that you might think I’m insane, but wait and let me explain how it is a myth. I was working so hard for the last years. But when I look back to my life, Nah! I didn’t achieve that much, At least something equivalent to the effort that I put. Then, I began to search “why” and talked with some “successful” people. Finally, I realized that I was following a myth.
“Working hard alone will never pay you off, working hard with a vision is”
- Kaveen Hyacinth
First, you have to define “Why”. Why are you doing what you re doing now? What is the purpose of doing it? Will the hard work matters to the purpose? Before jump into the water and dive deep in hard-working, first, you have to answer those fundamental questions. Always have a vision. If you know where you want to go, it is easier to take control than moving headless.
After realizing that fact that I need to have a clear end goal, my first task was to define my vision. It may be your career, a personal goal or else a relationship goal. Have a clear purpose on what you are doing and define the vision of it. Set milestones to measure your progress. Plan ahead. Then start to work hard. Take my word, now it will pay you off. overcome the myths. I have the experience dude!
You need the motivation first: Overcome the myths
Hold on, Hold on! I will tell you how. I wonder whether you have heard about the “cycle of drive”. If you not please let me know in the comment section and I will bring you a full post about it. All my life I thought that I lack the motivation to restart. But one day, accidentally, I went through a research paper about “The Cycle of Drive”. After I read the whole paper, I got that “gotcha” moment. My wake up call had rung child!
If you want to do something, don’t wait until motivation hit you. The cycle of Drive contains three major elements. Inspiration, motivation, and action. The most amazing thing is you don’t have anything specific to start with. If you want you can start with motivation, no worries, but if you want to test the waters with action first. No matter what you are starting with, you have to follow the cycle. Let me explain this further.
“Don’t wait until the motivation hits you, Be an action taker”
- Kaveen Hyacinth
I wanted to start this blog to guide students, young professionals, and young entrepreneurs. But I had no clue for “From where should I start”. Told you, I had neither inspiration nor motivation. But I took the action. I purchased the domain, jumped into developing the website. Then I got the inspiration, I defined the vision and made the content that you are going to be a victim in coming years. After, I got the motivation to continue and stay on track.
Remember, motivation is just one tool to keep you on track. it’s not the entire power of doing something. If you want to hit the road, you have to follow the “Cycle of Drive”. Start anywhere you want, but stick into the cycle. Overcome the myths!
Success will bring you a happy life: will it?
Being successful and being happy is two different things, but one can merely grab the difference. Most people think that success will bring you happiness. If you think so, I speaking to you. Get ready to accept the truth. Success will never make you happy. Let’s dive deep.
Success has its measures, hasn’t it? It can be a financial goal, a relationship goal or else a personal one. Most of the time success is measured by external aspects. But can you measure happiness like that? No never. Happiness is a very subjective emotion that comes inside. It is hard to measure and even to distinct. If I make you clearer, success is a Ferrari California, happiness is a great ride. Success is pursuing dreams, but happiness is living in your dreams. I think now you got the “ah-ha” moment.
“Success is the harbor, happiness is the lighthouse”
- Kaveen Hyacinth
We know the legendary biographies of successful people in the world and how unhappy they were when the death summons. it doesn’t matter how successful you are unless you have the happiness. Therefore, you have to identify the clear distinction of happiness and success. Get rid of the myth that success would bring happiness. Now you know that it isn’t. I will bring you another article about “Ways to be happy” soon. Keep my promise.
Now I’m sure, you have gotten a clear picture of the myths that we were following since our childhood. As I told you before, the list goes on. But I intended to make you to think about these three common myths and to realize the other myths to overcome right after. Remember, hard work alone won’t pay you off, with a vision it is. Take the action, then stick into the cycle, and last but not least define the distinction between success and happiness.
