Chapter 8 overcome inertia

overcome inertia You may want to ask: How can I overcome my inertia and push myself up? Of course, inertia is really not an easy thing to overcome. There are not many people who are not lazy. Those who are diligent are driven by some will power. Therefore, we might as well say: "Will is a force that overcomes inertia." And the formation of this will depends on a goal worth pursuing.With that goal out there waiting for us to reach it, we feel justified in mobilizing ourselves. As the saying goes: "If people are not interested in profit, who will get up early?" "Profit" is one of the goals. People who like "profit" will naturally let themselves get up early in pursuit of "profit".Of course, not everyone in the world likes "profit". Even if everyone likes "profit", not everyone regards "profit" as the most worthwhile goal to pursue.

Then, what to substitute into this "benefit" depends on our own ideals or preferences! Therefore, if you want to overcome your own inertia, you must first establish an ideal goal for yourself. Ask yourself, what are you going to get?What is your favorite thing?You first find this answer for yourself in your heart.Maybe, you like getting rich.Maybe you like to get rich and plant an orchard for yourself.Maybe you plan to go abroad, maybe you want to take the college entrance examination, maybe you want to be a musician, painter, or writer.Well, once you identify your goals, you will find that many items in your life suddenly become meaningful, while others suddenly become unimportant.At that time, you will find some power to mobilize yourself, so that you will no longer be so aimlessly lazy.

Of course, just a big goal sometimes feels far away and too abstract.Then, we might as well set some small goals for ourselves after we have established the big goals. For example, if you want to save money to buy an orchard for yourself, then you must first find a way to save money.The so-called saving money, of course, is to increase income on the one hand, and to reduce expenditure on the other.The way to open source is to work, and the way to save money is to work harder and wander less.After this small goal is established, you will start to feel that you must get up early in the morning so as not to waste time in bed. You can use this time to deliver newspapers, milk, or take the place of a worker at home to clean up the garden.

So, you feel that waking up early makes sense.In the past, you would feel that you have nothing to do when you wake up early, or you don't know where to start to do things.And when you have a goal, before you get up, you already know what to do after getting up, and you will smoothly pull yourself out of bed and do things. The same reason.If you want to achieve something in learning, then the only way you can achieve this goal is to study hard.So, you can start to find some books that you should read, put them on the table, arrange them in order, and read them one by one, so that you will naturally be willing to use your time to read, memorize, and write as much as possible.Instead of just worrying in your heart, but don't know what to do.

Establishing goals is one way to help yourself overcome inertia.In addition, try to find some strength for yourself that can encourage you.Because the road to success is very long, on this long road, if there is no encouragement, it will not be easy to maintain interest in the long run.And the strength of this encouragement also depends on what you want to pursue.If you want to save money, naturally a bank passbook can give you the most comfort and encouragement.If it is other, then, like friends who encourage each other, your own work achievements, teachers' rewards, and so on.Be careful to arrange for yourself some opportunities of this kind.

Clear goals and appropriate encouragement can make our progress faster and smoother. However, the most important thing is to keep in mind a sentence from time to time: "Life is too short to allow us to waste much time!" Xi Zhe said: "Live as if you are going to die tomorrow." These words really have extraordinary urging power, no one knows which day will be the end of their lives. Most people expect that they can live to be a hundred years old, so in their twenties and thirties, he is still there slowly and leisurely. And those who live seriously will often believe that the short present that only they can grasp is their reliable life span.

So he tries to use every minute, every second of his time to push himself. If life is not wasted, there are more chances of success.
