Stop Caring About The RESULTS!

 

WHAT are you up to?  NEXT task?  NEXT goal?  YES, go for it [and STOP THINKING ABOUT THE RESULTS].  To quote the famous Nike one-liner, JUST DO IT!!!  I heard this a few times and it's amazing:  I STOPPED CARING ABOUT THE RESULTS [AND STARTED GETTING THEM].  Even before I heard all these, I realized that I have been 'walking the talk' through the years, and in most cases, out of habit 📗📙📘

I've witnessed right up front multiple and countless situations WHERE people get so 'hostaged' by the envisioned results of a planned course of action such that they end up stalled, thinking and thinking about the results they should achieve.  Frustratingly, I've seen initiatives suffer through a debacle and fail all because they got so 'hanged up' with the target results, missing out the dire need to thoroughly plan their tasks ahead.  LIKE if one is angling for an ivy League academic scholarship, then you keep asking yourself WHAT IF you stumble across, WHAT IF after you hurdle all the qualifying steps, you DON'T have a place to stay, WHAT IF your family is NOT financially capable to sustain things???

Instead of ending up so glued to the results you want to achieve, WHY can't we prepare a step-by-step checklist of all the pre-requisites even for the initial filing of your academic scholarship application.  WHO knows you'll fall short in the required weighted average for your academic grades?  WHO knows your preferred course/area of interest has additional criteria you are NOT that aware of?  WHO knows their academic terms do NOT align with your local timelines?  In the shortest one word, WHATEVER is your envisioned results down the road, get and be focused with the PROCESS needed to take you from Point A to Point B to Point C etcetera until you reach and achieve your target results.  Instead of fixating on the specific outcomes, let us embrace intertia and once we get going, let's maintain that momentum through consistency and persistence💚💛💜

The late Jim Rohn, the famous American author and motivational speaker, said it all with brevity:  THINK LESS, DO MORE.  In short, let us consider those upcoming results as a 'side effect' and instead, get focused on good planning and reinforce your consistency in your efforts as it will likely naturally lead you to better productivity, real progress in your journey BUT again, view it as a positive effect rather than the sole purpose😗😗😗

Our takeaway:  Let's be openly frank here.  WHAT are the UPSIDEs if we spend the biggest chunk of our time thinking and anticipating with all the "WHAT IF's" for the result we expect and hope to achieve?  True, that could get that goal more embedded within us.  BUT if we factor-in the time spent WHEN we got stalled and 'hostaged' by thinking over and over again the results, can we agree that that impacts our timeline because instead of devoting our time to progress, we got stalled.  Can we proceed with our task execution and STOP CARING ABOUT THE RESULTS, for now dude???
