Put a little bit of effort towards improving your situation every day
The world, as I'm sure you've already noticed, can sometimes be a very tough place. Achieving things you thought would be easy can turn out to be ridiculously difficult. Problems you never foresaw can appear suddenly and take over your life.
What's a person to do in the face of such adversity?
It's little wonder that a lot of people simply throw their arms up in despair. Sometimes it can all seem like too much work. It can appear too difficult.
But there's a solution to the overwhelming problems the world throws at you. That's to use your most important resource of time against them. Assuming you sleep for eight hours a day, that leaves you five-thousand eight-hundred and forty hours a year to chip away at the challenges you face. That's one heck of a tool to use.
Most people want easy solutions to the big problems that face them. When such solutions fail to appear, they give up. But winners take a different approach. They see that big problems take time to overcome. And they put a little bit of effort towards improving their situation every day.
Let's say, for example, that you hate your job. You feel it fails to challenge your intellect as much as you deserve. Simply by signing up for a career enhancing course you can improve your situation. Sure, it might take a few years, but that time will fly by and you'll soon find yourself with an important new tool in your fight against reality.
Say you're in a lot of debt. Simply saving a bit more money each week can be a good solution for this problem. Each amount on its own probably won't make much difference to your situation. But the habit of saving over a few years can make a massive difference to your finances.
Even putting in the effort to read some kind of knowledge-improving book for half an hour a day will make a big difference. Do this for a few years and you'll soon find yourself one of the most knowledgeable people you know. The simple ideas and beliefs of your peers will start to seem beneath you.
Put a little bit of effort towards improving your situation each day. Rather than looking for easy solutions, invest the time it really takes to overcome your problems. Lots of little steps forwards can take you a long way. You just have to be patient enough to see the journey through.
 | Emotions are like muscles, you need to work them out | | It’s amazing how much of our lives are controlled by our emotions. In fact, it could be said that pretty much everything we do is in pursuit of some sort of emotional comfort. If you’re hungry, lonely or cold, your emotions are going to let you know by making you feel miserable. This is generally a good thing. |  | If investments become cheaper, and you’re a buyer, that’s a good thing | | In the last few years, stock markets around the world have been hammered. Currencies have also fallen to historic lows. People see their portfolios down and are running scared. |  | Don't fall into the habit of finding excuses not to take action | | Sometimes it's good not to take action. It's just not called for under some circumstances and can actually make things worse. I've written about this before. |  | The best way to influence the behavior of others | | We are all dependent on one another. We need other people and they need us in order to live the best lives we can. But other people are generally outside of our control. So one of the biggest problem anyone faces is how to get others to behave in the way we want them to. | | What to do when you've made a life-shatteringly bad decision | | Let's face it, despite our often high opinions of ourselves, we're all human really. There's not a person on this planet who hasn't made an incredibly stupid decision at some stage that's had life-changing consequences. You'll certainly make such a dumb call yourself some day, as will I and everybody else. | | It's extremely difficult to change people | | Most of us have someone in our life we'd like to change. It might be a lover, a child, a boss, or a neighbor. We try every trick at our disposal to meet that end, but in general we are likely to fail. | | Throw yourself in the deep end | | We're all afraid of things we haven't experienced before. We'd like to take a more responsible job, but we're not sure we can deal with it. We'd like to meet new people, but we're afraid that they won't like us. We'd like to try out a new activity, but we're worried about making a fool out of ourselves. |  | If you don't know, say so | | Three of the hardest words for many people to say are: "I don't know". In fact, many of the problems in human history have been caused through our aversion to these words. How come? |  | The transition periods are often the most difficult | | Someone I know quite well once discovered that his wife of five years was seeing another man behind his back. He found out when she suddenly announced she was leaving him for her new beau. He was out of town at the time, and when he returned he found most of the furniture in his house missing. | | Six things likely to make you happier in the long-term | | I've previously looked at how to get a short-term "hit" of happiness. Now I'll explore the more important subject of long-term happiness. |
