Important Announcement

     Hey everyone, I'm doing a lot of behind the scenes work for Scanlon Blogs. I feel as if I could improve the blog, it's content, and its look dramatically if I take the time to do so. Because of that, you may not see as many blogs being posted. I AM NOT DEAD and plan to start releasing more content as soon as I feel this blog is ready to reach its full potential. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate everyone who continues to support my writing!

The Importance of Taking Baby Steps

    Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to lose interest later down the line?  This happens to a lot of people and is usually the result of biting off more than you can chew.  Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is not something people can do.  If we don’t focus on one particular subject at a time, the quality of what we are doing will suffer.  This is why I encourage everybody to take baby steps when it comes to goal setting.  Do not set multiple goals at once and expect to follow through with every single one at once.  Doing this will decrease the motivation to continue because you feel less likely to succeed the more overworked you feel.

    Think of the goals you have set for yourself in the past or present.  Now, take one particular goal and focus on it.  Keep the others in mind but focus on your chosen one in particular.  Once you succeed at achieving this goal, choose another one.  It sounds simple enough but people often get distracted or bored of doing a specific task and move onto the next one.  You have to fight the urge to do this because the work towards your chosen goal will suffer.  Not only that but the more you jump from goal to goal, the less productive you will feel and the higher chance you will give up.  If we don’t feel like we have achieved anything, we lose motivation and feel like what we are doing is a fruitless endeavor.

    I am truly confident that taking baby steps and achieving one goal at a time will help you succeed in anything.  Having that type of focus and being able to maintain your motivation is key.  Focus and motivation are powerful tools that, when controlled properly, can help you get the results you want.  Just remember, take it one day at a time, do not rush, and never expect anything to happen overnight.  Success is a long and sometimes tedious process, but if you have patience, take baby steps, and continue to work hard, there is a high chance you will be rewarded.

Thoughts?

    It is important to talk about these types of subjects because it makes us better human beings.  So, I leave the rest of the discussion up to you.  Do you agree with anything presented today?  Why or why not?  Do you have any pieces of life advice to share?  Comment below!

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

    Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2.

1. Money Isn’t Everything

    Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?  The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.  What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?  When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.  No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.  Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.  Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and newly acquired spare time?

    We need a purpose to be truly happy, not just wealth.  We desire companionship, experience, making memories, all of which are not obtainable through wealth alone.  We want to learn and feel important.  All of this can be done without having an obscene amount of wealth.  I am not saying the money wouldn’t make you happy, I am saying it would only go so far.  So, remember that there is more to life than making money.  You can live a great life without being wealthy as long as you allow yourself to do so.  Do not think of money as the end all be all.

2. Mind over Matter

    What do you want to accomplish, and what has to change in your life to succeed?  Many of us would say we lack motivation or have other priorities.  I say this way of thinking is the reason why you are not achieving what you want to achieve.  Mind over matter is a powerful piece of advice.  People can do much more than they believe.  The problem is their thoughts often cloud their judgment.  Whether it be a lack of confidence, lack of motivation, or believing there is not enough time in the day, this way of thinking will always keep you where you are.  Breaking this cycle is the key to success.  Plan however you must, but remember there is always a way.  It really comes down to your mindset.

3. Kindness is Key

    We’ve all been in a situation where we want to scream and yell in anger.  Whether it be people or a situation that causes this doesn’t matter.  Anger will get us nowhere and often make the problem worse.  Kindness is key and will ‘keep the peace’ so to speak.  Think of someone you have had problems with in the past.  What would yelling at them do?  Would it resolve the problem or would it just make things awkward?  The second result would most likely be the case.  Not only that, but you would feel bad for getting angry towards someone else.  If we are kind, not only do we calm ourselves down, but the problem will most likely reveal itself for what it is, mundane and over-exaggerated.  Most of the problems we face in life end up being things we forget the next day.  It’s better to be kind and let the anger subside than explode over something that will not bother you tomorrow.
