Just wanted to share something I picked up at a seminar:
3 critical elements of success: Belief (B), Emotion (E), and Strategy (S). Here is a chart indicating what happens if you lack one or more of the elements:
B, E, S = Effectiveness
B, No E, S = Exhaustion
B, E, No S = Wheel Spinning/Driving Blind
No B, E, S = Waste/Going through Motion
B, No E, No S = Passivity/Faith
No B, E, No S = Chaos
No B, No E, S = Apathy
No B, No E, No S = Stagnation
For me, one of the elements may wane while others wax. I try to make sure all 3 are always 'topped-up'.
If I need more belief, I learn about people that have already 'been-there, done that', and realize that if they, as mere mortals, did it, I can too!
If I need more emotion, I think about why I am doing what I'm doing, or what/whom I'm doing it for.. This stimulates desire - which is a strong root of all emotion.
If I need more strategy, I further educate myself and discuss plans with peers and mentors.
Some people may have a tendency to be weaker in one area. I think I am more an "S" and "B" guy, so exhaustion is something I experience.
