Speed is the name of the game, the faster you are the faster you will become successful. What most people don't realize is that the have to move every now and then, they have to do whatever they can do to become successful. Stop thinking and just do it, there is no right or wrong here, every action is the right action, every action will become a bridge to success. Always remember that you are always right if you're taking actions.
Some people were slow not because they were born slow, they are slow for several reasons.
1. The want it fast. They don't want to wait, they want to get it right away and when they can't get it fast... they become frustrated and this will lead to inaction and procrastination. If you will assess how they use their time you will find out that they have more time for procrastination than action. They don't have the habit of staying on the work for long, they just want to work a little and get more and if they can't make it happen... they will become unmotivated and that makes them very slow to finish a work, they don't have the appetite for work anymore.
2. They don't want to fail. They take failing seriously, they hate it so much that's why they were always playing safe, they don't want to take risk and evolve fast, they want to stay on their lane that is not moving for a very long time. They want to succeed but they don't want to fail. They don't know that failing is just part of the design. If you want to make progress fast then fail often, if you want to learn fast then fail more, as simple as that. Failing doesn't mean you are weak, it doesn't mean anything, it is there to teach you a lesson on what to do next time you try.
So if you want to accomplish your goals fast... fail a lot of times, it is the key to success. Fail more so you will have different feedback on what to do next time.
3. They don't take due date seriously. There is a deadline but they don't take it seriously, they were not on a state of urgency. They love to relax and take their time. They feel that they can do it fast once they started only to find out that they don't have enough time anymore. Even if their clients got mad at them because they miss the deadlines... they were not affected, they were just laughing at it. If there is a deadline... you must be on a sense of urgency, you must take it seriously, you must feel fear, if you will not take it seriously then you will do something else that is not even related to the urgent task.
4. They are ok failing. They don't mind if they don't reach their goals, they don't mind if they don't succeed, it doesn't affect them at all. They feel that they have the eternity to wait to become successful. Failing doesn't made them feel bad at all, they are completely comfortable failing and they worst thing is... they always repeat the same pattern again and again, the don't want to do something about it. Successful people hates failing, every time it happens to them they will start something right away, they will try again so that they can call themselves a winner.
5. They love wasting time. They waste their time watching stupid programs, gossiping, playing video games, endless chatting with their friends, partying, spending a lot of time in social media... they feel that they are not losing anything every time they waste some time, they don't value their time, they don't think of it as an important commodity to become successful. You will have a slow pace if you keep on wasting time, you will develop a very bad habit, you can't even finish a task that only needs 30 mins.
6. They think they were already good. They were arrogant, they think they were already good, they hate being scolded, they hate being taught, they don't want to learn anymore because they think they already knew everything. Don't ever think that you're already good because every time you do that you will feel lazy and entitled of something that you don't even deserve. There is a lot of space for growth, if you will not start now then you will become stagnant and that will be the start of your falter.
7. They were full of ego. They don't want to do a task that they hate, they think they were entitled to have a bossy attitude. If you want to become fast then you need to become humble, do what is needed even if you don't feel good doing it. If you want to become productive then just do it, even if you think you were not suppose to do it.. do it. You will never come up with a good result if your mind is full of ego. Stop complaining because you're not a king, don't be a spoiled brat because you're just an ordinary human being, you are very lucky that you have something to do. Having a task may it be easy or difficult is a blessing, it means you are alive, it means you are healthy and you can still take some actions.
8. They don't want to make mistakes. They can't even start because they don't want to make mistakes, they don't want to get tired, they want the right answers or process right away. It won't happen, if you are searching for answers then you need to make mistakes, you need to become completely screwed up and you have to be ok with that. Making mistakes means you are learning and evolving, don't be afraid to fail again and again because that will make you mentally tougher and smarter. You will gain a lot of knowledge, you will gain a lot of experience.
9. They were overthinking too much. They talk too much, they think too much and that causes the delay. They were wasting a lot of time thinking, they have a lot of what ifs on their minds. The truth is... the more you think the more you will become afraid, why not take actions now and see what will happen? why not just try it and if it didn't work then try something else? overthinking will poison your mind, it will make you slow and unproductive.
10. They don't believe in themselves. They lack the confidence, and it is simply because they don't have the habits of taking actions. The more you procrastinate the more you will doubt yourself, you will become slower and slower, you will become useless. You need to move now, you need to take actions now so you will believe yourself even more.
11. They were always think about perfection. They want to have a perfect record, they want a smooth sailing journey, they don't want a rough road. The truth is life will become very boring if you will have a perfect life. The tragedies, problems... they add some spices in your life. Don't be afraid to embarrass yourself because that is also an opportunity for growing. If you want a perfect life then you will never take risks, you will not even start something, you will have a hard time being productive, you will have a slow pace forever. Just do something and see where it goes, forget about perfection.
12. They were not competitive. They were not aggressive, they were not competitive, the think that all they can do is what they are doing now. They are not even pushing themselves to the limits, they simply want to chill and take their lives for granted. You don't need to compete with others, you only need to compete against yourself. See if you are evolving, you will feel if you are growing or not and you will only feel it if you feel the pressure. If you are not pressuring yourself then you are not competitive, you are slow and you are not evolving.
13. They can't have fun in taking actions. The truth is... you can have a lot of fun taking actions, it all depends on how you appreciate your life. If you will appreciate your life and feel good that you're still alive then you will feel blessed for every movement that you can do. Some people were too lazy because they don't even want to move their hands and feet, they just want to sleep, watch TV and do nothing. The result if this is a rusty mind, a slow body and a depressed mood. Have fun in doing small things and make it as your habit.
