Greetings, I have brought to you a very important topic about reaching your goals, advancing, and ultimately being successful. This is the core principle behind all of this.
Behind any successful person, behind any goal reached, and behind any advancement made there is a lot of consistent good work.
Good work brings results. And only good work does. Because if you are not working on the correct things, correctly, then it will not bring you any results or not what you expected.
The formula of good work is as follows:
Good work = work on the correct thing x micro focus
Micro focus means focusing on the work, on the task / problem at hand and this is extremely important. The more laser focused are you, the sooner you'll get it done and not just sooner but more than likely better. The more focused you are on the correct things, the better work you'll do faster.
This means not working for 20 minutes, then scrolling on tiktok for 10, and repeat. Micro focus is completely immersing yourself and putting your whole attention on one thing for a reasonable amount of time.
So this is the formula of good work, first of all working on the correct things that brings result, and working properly on them.
But what the "correct things" are is not self-evident at all. You'll need to get a hang of this but I'll give you some examples.
For example if you want to loose weight, you should not research how to loose weight on and on, but start working out and have a healthy diet.
If you have a business and you don't have enough costumers, the problem is likely not your service / product or whatever, but your marketing and the process that takes someone from a stranger to a costumer.
If you want to get better at something, you should practice it properly, not just learn theory about it on and on.
If you want to have spiritual abilities, learning about spiritual abilities will not make you have spiritual abilities, but practicing them will.
It all comes down to this question: What needs to be done for x to happen?
If you are poor, watching netflix and youtube will not help you. Looking for a job and actually applying for them will do but if you want to get rich, that's another topic because you'll never become rich as an employee, so working on the correct things come in play again here.
This differs a bit from things to things but being good at something or having had achieved something is usually 10% knowledge and 90% actually doing it. You'll learn as you go, not before you have even started.
Okay so maybe we understand what good work is now.
Success is basically this, with time, and macro focus.
Success = work on the correct things x micro focus x time x macro focus.
Time is how much time you can do good work for. If you can work for 2 hours a day on something you will of course get it done later then if you work 12 hours on it - assuming both is actually good work, because you'll be more successful if you do good work for 2 hours then if you do bad work for 12 hours a day.
Because Elon Musk and a Chinese factory worker may work the same amount of time but one of them is extremely successful and the other is not.
And the last factor is macro focus, being focused on one thing / goal for a long time. This is especially important as well (just as the other factors) because if you start a project or you start working on something properly, a lot, you'll still never going to succeed in it if you leave it after a week or month. If you want to get rich do not start a different business every week, stick with one you can stick with and others have already succeeded with, otherwise you'll never reach your goal of being rich.
Another example: If you want to become an advanced mage, you must meditate properly a lot and practice spiritual abilities. But if you are only doing half assed (no micro focus) aura cleaning (working on the wrong thing) for 10 minutes a day (not enough time) and nothing else, maybe you are even inconsistent in this (no macro focus) then you'll never be an advanced mage. But if you practice both awareness and power meditations, and meditations regarding spiritual abilities (working on the correct things), and do them properly, laser focus, relaxed, with a still mind (micro focus) for more than a hour a day (enough time put into it) for 10 years (macro focus), you'll definitely be an advanced mage by the end of the 10th year.
Recap:
To be successful you need to work on the correct things consistently and correctly, with focus and dedication. The more you work properly, the more results you'll have.
