How To Become Hungry For Success

All of us dream of having that hunger for success. Being hungry for success, having the mindset of a winner, being driven towards action and achievement, we all want our personal description to even slightly resemble this. And while we all think that being hungry for success is something you either are born with or without, the truth of the matter is that we all possess it in our inherent nature.

The mindset of a winner is what we are born with. The thing is that, eventually, we grow out of it. Or rather we get forced to abandon it via influences from society, misconceptions created by no other than ourselves, the lifestyle we lead.

Prioritizing

Albeit seemingly another form of a productivity technique, prioritizing is somewhat more time rewarding, and gives the promise of enjoying better results. As a concept in correlation with getting things done, it comprises two major components that are to be found in no other productivity technique or approach whatsoever.

The obvious guess would, in short, be that with prioritizing we get the upper hand by simply selecting the activities that are to give us the biggest ROI (return of investment) in terms of time spent. However this is only to be partially true. You see, not that many of us are aware that by prioritizing we are actually forced to take an objective

productivity in creative work

Thinking about a sentence with which I would start this article, thus setting the tone right on, I came up with this: All work is not created equal. This especially applies when taking productivity in consideration. That is, given the fact that some things require, and some are actually OK with the lack of it.

You see, there is a distinction to be made between what we know as creative work, and all the other to be honest. Not only does creative work has more going on in the sense of originating, but the circumstances in which it occurs are entirely different to say the least.

The ones who do creative work are, in a way, faced with obstacles that surpass those who are not involved into

Complacency is a killer

We are driven towards the intrinsic need to stay on course. To try things for what they are, experiment with them, construct a pattern in which we are to interact with them, follow it blindly. And while this affects the bigger victories we have in life only in a narrow band of circumstances, it does in fact shape everything else without question.

Be that relationships, habits, even our quest for self-improvement. We stay on the course, follow the set of rules we already set, and progress is more than imminent. It’s a given, you see. More math than anything else. But this is changing over time too.

Mid-way into whatever that is we are in, things can sometimes take
