The new year 2017 is here. In everyone’s new year’s plan, keep writing, keep running, keep breaking through yourself, and stick to 100 hours of Action, I don’t know how it has been completed. I will continue to initiate 100 hours of action. No matter whether anyone sees it or not, whether there are colleagues or not, I will continue to practice it.

Compared with many 21-day habits, 100-day actions, 1-year goals and so on, 100 hours is just old wine in old bottles. But, this is not important. What is important is whether we seriously say to ourselves: We are doing it seriously, even if no one is supervising me. Just like what I am doing now - continue to break through myself, even if no one knows, I will continue, because this is my life growth record, there are good and bad experiences in life. , and even some are so wrong that they are so right that they cannot believe it. No matter what, only when you really take action will you know whether you can do better and whether it is possible to meet a better version of yourself in the future.

Many people think that 100 hours is too short. There is no such thing as 21 days of action. 100 days of action looks great. I just want to say that as long as you start doing it, 100 hours is indeed very few, but 100 hours is indeed a lot. If you insist on 1 hour a day, it will take 100 days. If you insist on half an hour a day, it will take 200 days. If you insist on 2 hours a day, it will only take 200 days. It takes 50 days.

However, as long as you have done it, you will understand that 100 hours is sometimes really difficult. Moreover, we should learn to convert proportions. Don’t just think that the numbers seem to be very small. We must quantify it concretely and do it practically. Only then can we really know how much self-discipline is required and how many difficulties we need to face. And overcoming it is much harder than we think.

Try your best, we often say and do it. I tried my best to prepare for the exam, I tried my best to lose weight, I tried my best to run down 100 meters, I tried my best to win a sales contract, I tried my best to catch up with the goddess I like...

Trying my best, sometimes It is an attitude and sometimes a method. We know at any time that if we want to achieve a goal, we may need to try our best. Only God knows whether we will succeed or not.

Some people are lucky and can succeed without trying their best, and some people succeed with a little effort, but this does not mean that every success we can rely on luck. More often than not, we are Try your best to do what you should do and increase the probability of success. God knows whether you will succeed in the end.

It is important to try our best, but we must also have a goal to guide us. Otherwise, trying our best sometimes becomes the best excuse for not completing the goal.

When we do something, do we unconsciously aim to pay attention to the process? For example, I want to keep losing weight, I want to keep writing, I want to keep running... When I say this, I just talk about an action process, and the result is not quantified. Maybe it’s because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to achieve it after quantifying it, or maybe I’m afraid that others will laugh at me if I write it down.

In fact, the only one who really cares about us in this world is ourselves. We can see how many sincere likes and how many sarcastic comments there are in our circle of friends. Therefore, the correct approach is to write down the quantifiable indicators of your efforts to achieve your goals. For example, lose 3 pounds in a month, write 10 articles in a month, run 5 times a week...

Don’t laugh at yourself because your goals are small. If we can easily achieve small goals, then we can continue to increase the number of goals. In this way, when time passes, when we look back, we will definitely be impressed by our efforts. The process and results were shocking.

If we want to achieve our goals, we must pay attention to both the process and the results. Only in this way can we not give ourselves the opportunity to make excuses.

Each of us likes to make excuses for ourselves, especially when we encounter failure, because it is really difficult to admit failure and find new ways. We must jump out of our comfort zone and constantly challenge ourselves.

When we correctly understand that doing our best is to better achieve our goals, the choice of goals becomes even more important. Many times, trying our best is just wishful thinking and self-righteousness. It is very likely that we blindly follow others to find a way without seeing the goal clearly.

When looking for goals, I have always felt that I should combine my actual situation and search relatively, not unrealistically. For example, I don’t want to do my current job anymore and I want to change industries. In fact, there is no such thing. After a certain amount of accumulation, one does not have a clear understanding of oneself and makes blind choices just to avoid current difficulties and problems.

If we can break through ourselves in the current field, then even if we switch to a new field in the future, this cumulative effect will be reused. From mentality to action, it will be more helpful, and Not starting from scratch.

Don’t be afraid of failure, be brave to face failure, we will encounter failure every day, let alone complain about how bad the current work is, what you should think about is, have I made good use of what I have now? Resources, or am I always making excuses for myself, trying my best to show off to others.

It is very important not to deceive yourself. Only by not deceiving yourself can you see your true needs, see your shortcomings, accept the gap, and then correct and improve. Otherwise, the consequence of deceiving yourself is that you may try your best to achieve good results, but in the end you will not achieve the results and fall into the trap of making excuses.

After we have found the right method and the right goal, all we have left is to do it, to continuously complete one goal after another, and then set new goals for ourselves.

Only in this way can we truly continuously break through ourselves.

Trying your best may not necessarily lead to success, but you will definitely achieve continuous growth.

Continue to practice and start by completing one thing every day.
