These people are easy to spot because they are usually very successful and motivated. They seem to have no shortage of energy and enthusiasm, and live their lives with a “can-do” attitude.
Watch these people, and you’ll begin to notice that they follow certain behaviors which you can then incorporate into your own activities. A few examples:
* They focus on one thing at a time until they master it. Only when a person reaches a certain level of confidence and competence are they able to juggle a lot of objectives simultaneously. Before that, they usually learn the importance of narrowing in on one area and sticking with it until they master it.
* They refuse to consider anything a “failure”. Instead, they simply discover one more way that didn’t work, and use that knowledge to try something else. You won’t see them moping around, overcome by frustration. They roll up their sleeves and keep at it until they get the results they want.
* They refuse to settle for mediocrity. They won’t accept “good enough,” and instead keep working on it until it’s as close to perfect as possible.
* They understand that there’s no such thing as perfection. This seems to contradict the previous point above, but it doesn’t. Somewhere between mediocrity and perfectionism lies a point of clarity when you know you’ve done your very best and you need to let go. This takes some introspection, but the more you strive for that keen awareness, the easier it gets.
