Out of 7 billion people who dream to achieve something big in their lives, not everyone has achieved or will achieve that dream. You know WHY???
Together we can find ‘n’ number of reasons but one of the prominent reasons which have always been the center focal point is “PURPOSE”.
Purpose defines our life.
When you are clear with your purpose in your life, you will always have clarity on why you are want to attain or achieve that goal of yours. You’ll find yourself close to <99% productive in your life.
“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there”
Will Rogers
The most productive people start with purpose and use it as a compass. They use as a guiding force to determine the priority which leads to the vicious cycle of productive actions.
For example think of purpose, priority, and productivity as three components of an ICEBERG.
Mostly ⅛ of an iceberg is above water, which we can see but ⅞ part of the same iceberg is actually hidden in the water which we can see, and it’s actually huge.
I have used this analogy to explain this amazing concept of this “PPP Model – PURPOSE-PRIORITY-PRODUCTIVITY”
In order to be highly productive, you must have a strong purpose in life, and all those areas in which you are working otherwise it will be a waste of your time and some lousy efforts to achieve that unending task.
I mean, without the defined purpose our lives would be similar to #Sisyphus, Let me tell you a very interesting story about this person.
In #greekmythology, Sisyphus was punished by the gods by being forced to repeat a meaningless task of rolling a boulder up a hill only to have it roll down again for ETERNITY.
Philosopher Albert Camus compared this situation to humanity’s futile search for meaning & truth. “What is the meaning of this absurd Reality? We keep building endlessly our whole lives for tomorrow that never arrives & then we DIE.”
Any attempt to deny or avoid the struggle & the hopelessness that defines our lives is a mere attempt to escape. When we ask people during the workshops, What do you understand from this story?
The answers are always rational. The story is a symbolic representation of a modern man suffering from an existential crisis, who doesn’t know the Why or How but is busy doing the What.
It’s a metaphor for the individual’s persistent struggle against life. When sometimes our daily struggles are too monotonous, & absurd, We still give them significance & value by embracing them as our OWN!
Life itself is a journey, not a #destination.
& We are eternal beings, born to LIVE.
Accept life, without any reservations.
“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is”
– Albert Camus
Personal productivity is the backbone of your career whether you are a salaried person, self-employed, or an entrepreneur. When you will understand how to connect all the P’s in your life for optimum results, you will no longer require motivation, anyways it’s so outdated nowadays.
Use this to produce extraordinary results by simply living an extraordinary life.
