Consider that your lack of passion may be causing you to lose focus
throughout (на протяжении) the day. If this sounds like you, it might (может
быть) be time to contemplate (рассматривать) taking a new direction in life.
Finding a new path (дорогу) in life can be frightening (быть страшно). The
payoff (вознаграждение) of facing (встретиться) your fears is being able to
focus more for longer periods while being able to spend time on what you love.
Try new things, spend time focusing on yourself, and find out what makes your
clock tick.
One of the best ways to discover your drive and purpose is to use the ‘5
Whys‘. This form of self-questioning will help you get to the core (основы)
of what you want out of life.
It works like this…Let’s say your initial (изначальное) want is to “make more
money.”
Why do you want to make more money? “Because I want to buy a big
house.”
Why do you want a big house? “Because living in a big house is
comfortable”
Why does only a big house make you comfortable? “Because I have a big
family, with a wife and three kids; we need a big house for everyone.”
Why do you want a big house for everyone to live in? “Because I want
them to live in a comfortable place.”
Why is that? “Because I love my family and I want them to be happy.”
Can you now see the clear difference between the initial want and the true
purpose at the end? In this example, you thought you wanted more money; but
in reality, what you truly want is for your family to be happy. While making
more money and getting a big house could do that, how you treat your family
and the time you spend with them are key elements too.
Deal With Your Procrastination Habit: Distractions (отвлекающие
факторы) and multitasking can undermine (подорвать) your efforts, but
if procrastination takes control of your life — you’ll be beaten (проиграешь)
before you even get started. You know what we mean, finding it a struggle
(борьба) to get out of bed, putting off working on your first tasks of the day
and finding every reason under the sun not to work on that big project.
You may not be aware (можешь не знать) of it, but there are actually 5 types
of procrastinators:
The Perfectionist — This type of procrastinator is someone who pays too
much attention to the minor details. Sometimes described as ‘analysis
paralysis’, the perfectionist is afraid to begin a task or project because they
worry about getting every detail right. Even if they do manage to get started,
they often get caught up (застряли) in the details and fail to finish.
