Patience is a virtue and one who has it will have great success sooner then the person who has no patience.

I’m currently listing what my passions are and brainstorming how I can monetize them. Your words are insightful and inspirational.

Cheers,
Endy

all I have to say is one thing.

I’m tired of learning.
I’ve been doing that long enough.

Time to go get some real real world experience!

I was looking for some resources on personal motivation and achieving goals for a resource list I’m putting together for my readers and future blog visitors.

I’m glad I’m came across this post

I’m oging to be adding this as a good “read” for my visitors and what not.

Remember…

Success in life, love and business is something we all have in us – we just need to learn how to bring it out and except it

To Your Success,

Your article is very nicely written, as well as being interesting and inspiring. Like you said, I do constantly want results quickly. Perhaps this is because of a lack of belief in the value of experience that can only be gained over time. I suppose it’s easier to be true to oneself if failures or even successes are seen as experiences to learn from rather than signs of the quality of oneself.

Sincerely,

Nice post, I like to see these positive messages out there on the net. keep up the good work!

I love the phrase you used – Personal Congruency. I have found that most people lack the conviction to assess, define, and execute on their definition of who they are, what they REALLY want (and wanting successes is not a valid answer) and taking appropriate actions (small steps) to make it come true.

It’s not a catch 22 – you don’t need experience to make it – you need the fortitude to go out and declare to people that you are ready to learn – and ask them to teach you – to take you under their wing and give you a chance.

Great post as always

I love this last paragraph — so powerful! Well, I’m 22, finishing my degree in Business Management. When I first read this, I thought you were talking about me. =) hehe.

Good job Yaro! You’re blog is awesome!

Thank you!

Personal Congruency is a term I’ve heard thrown around a bit, along with personal congruence etc. I recently heard it again listening to a Podcast (SmallBizPod.co.uk to be precise) and it inspired me to write this post.

For me personal congruency means alignment with oneself, to be confident in your own reason for existence, purpose and ego. Simply put it’s self confidence but I don’t find that term quite all encompassing enough so I prefer congruency as a more apt label.

I hope that makes it clearer for you. It’s a hard term to feel completely at one with since I don’t believe any human can attain perfect congruency. Perhaps enlightenment is equivalent but I’ve not experienced that to know. I wonder if a person attained enlightenment, what would be the purpose of their existence from that point on? Once there are no challenges left to overcome, once one has complete congruency with themself then there is nothing left to learn and in essence, no purpose to their existence.

Perhaps after enlightenment the only task remaining is to teach others to reach the same level of fulfillment.

Anyway, I’m going off on a tangent here. Back to your regular viewing…

One day…

My mom said yesterday, “At the end of the day, before I go to bed, I ask myself, ‘Was today a productive day?’”

She brought up a good point. At the end of any day, ask yourself this question. If the answer is no, you have some work to do. If the answer is “hmm, not sure”, you need to fix it.

In one’s opinion, we can characterize a “productive day” as being something that helps us achieve a goal or commitment.

For the entrepreneur, try to make each and every [work] day as productive as possible. Take the necessary breaks but in the end – I guess the saying is true – you get out what you put in.

Life is what you make it.

BTW, the podcasts keep getting better. As long as I’m making requests (forgive me), love to see more of those as well. I suppose you’ll have to sell betteredit.com for $10 mil to make the time to lay around in a silk robe recording more podcasts for us.

My oh my, isn’t Larson demanding today…

Take good care Yaro.

Ayaz – quite right, that money monkey is a constant pain always telling you to make more and more money despite happiness. It’s a constant battle.

Mr Larson – I do occasionally write articles like this, not very often judging by the mere 8 entries in my philosophy, spirituality and growth category – http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/category/business-philosophy/

I wish I realized what you have at age 26. Actually, I’m sure I did, but I just didn’t listen to myself. It took many more years of trial and error, and in the process becoming a personal coach, to start apply these lessons. And it is still a struggle sometimes to listen to that whisper of a little voice each one of us has inside, which tells us in which direction to go.

Usually, we are overpowered by the big Booming voice inside our heads, which is telling us we need to make more money, be more successful, have more stuff. That is usually the conditioning of society, media, and sometimes parents. And if one keeps listening to that voice, he/she will usually end up chasing a lot of unfulfilling dreams.

So the next time that big voice starts running it’s mouth, tell it to shut up! After all, you’re in charge, right? And then follow that small voice. You’ll save yourself a lot of headaches in the long run. And you won’t have to fake confidence because you will be a lot truer to yourself.

I think my first and second year university students will benefit from this post, so I’ll be forwarding it along to them.

Cheers.
