Knowing how to work to the best of our ability under pressure is a sure way to succeed in life. Having the ability to work under pressure is extremely valuable as it is the driver that will lead you to success and that is the calling of the present times.
Merely having a goal is not enough:
We set goals and passionately wait for the goal to be accomplished. But, most often than not, we fail to reach our goal. The failure often is attributable to not having the ability to perform well under pressure of the challenges that crop up on its way to accomplishment. You have great ideas. Sadly, your ideas may not come to fruition.
They may fizzle out halfway or even totally fail. But then if you look carefully and critically appreciate you will see that somewhere you lacked adequate ability, effort and motivation. You can easily strike an idea. In fact, we all are able to come up with brilliant ideas. But then what follows are hard work.
You will need to focus, get direction;
latch on to your ability to stay motivated to relentlessly work towards accomplishment of your goal.
Easy said, huh! But the truth is no other:
Obstacles and uncertainties dot your path toward successful attainment of your goals. Staying motivated means that you take cognition of these obstacles and blast them off. We must have the heart to survive every odd. You can only shoot an arrow into the target by pulling the bow the exact distance back needed for it to shoot. There is a lot of skill involved.
For example, we must have a perfect sense of the distance between us and the target, the condition of the medium through which our arrow will race through, the arrow should be aligned with the target, the trajectory of the arrow must have to be understood, and finally how much pulling back of the arrow and bow string will be able to provide the required energy.
Work to the best of your ability:
When we say ‘Work to the best of your ability’ your focus rests on the word ‘ability.’ The Dictionary defines the word ‘ability’ as ‘possession of the means to do something.’ It’s the same as ‘capability.’ Your ability or capability is dependent on your motivation- the, reason for active in a particular way. Your attitude determines your motivation, If you are kind of laid back your motivation is obviously low.
You will have to be enthusiastic about the out of your pursuit and ensuring accomplishment of your goal. Your attitude will tell you how well you will perform. You will have to go for your mission with nothing less than 100 % dedication, motivation, and belief and keep moving forward inch by inch to the target. Courage & decision matter You need courage to face the challenges.
Being courageous is facing every challenge with graceful calm. You will then be charmingly disposed to your work. That’s called ‘growing up.’ Quite a virtue there, right! It is the gateway to all other virtues in your life. But then you need to have the ability to self-motivate to be courageous.
Your self-motivation shall determine who you really are and what you are capable of. Again, it’s a decision you take and that’s your attitude.
You should possess ‘growth mind-set’ in order to be self-motivated. Your attitude will also determine the intensity of your dedication.
No matter what, if you have a goal to be accomplished, you will have to push yourself relentless. No one else will do that for you. You won’t achieve your goal unless you just keep doing everything you need to do with your best ability with much integrity and love (enthusiasm).
