Motivating people to do their best work, is the greatest challenge being faced by Managers & executives in today’s corporate world. In fact it is a centuries-old problem which has been been addressed as far back as Aristotle’s time.
From time to time management gurus continue to revisit the issue of motivation. Some new research states that the brain chemicals that control behavior indicates that both punishment and reward are necessary for performance.
Does anything hold you back from what you really want to do in life ? The one thing that may hold you back is the tendency to think too much. We keep on overthinking every little thing to the extent that it keeps getting bigger and bigger in our minds until it reaches a point that we are scared away from doing it.
What impact does this have on our lives ? Of course one needs to think things through but being an overthinker can result in becoming someone who ultimately stands still in life without achieving anything. I used to think a lot and then at some point I realized that it was holding me back and that I was not being able to achieve what I wanted to do. Slowly I learned how to categorize things so that small matters are dealt with automatically. Remember that overthinking is counterproductive to whatever problem you may be trying to solve.
In today’s world and the hectic pace of life we are all leading, some level of stress is inevitable, as one is constantly juggling with pressures from different quarters – work, home, financial pressures, children etc. Added to those are sometimes the bad habits we tend to develop such as unhealthy eating, late nights and smoking which all contribute to multiplying the stress levels in the long run.
Life can never be totally stress free. At an acceptable level stress is something which keeps us on our toes, challenges us and even helps us to grow in our careers. But when it starts to reach excessive levels, begins to have an impact on our productivity levels and ultimately starts to have an effect on our health.

In order to do so it is necessary to take responsibility for your life and take concrete steps do to do whatever is required to realize your goals.
In spite of whatever situation you may be facing in life – there is a direct link between the excuses you keep on making for yourself in not achieving what you set out to do – with how much success you ultimately achieve. Remember ……..
In the highly competitive world of today it is becoming more and more complex to be successful – be it at work or generally in your life. Both these areas are closely linked and success in one area promotes and supports success in the other as well. So putting in the extra efforts and doing your best to secure your share of success is vital.
Normally we try to copy someone else who is successful and hope that the same formula works for us but we are all separate individuals with different talents and skills so if we truly want to be successful building our own blueprint for our career and personal success is best. Do a little soul searching and create your own – there is a much higher possibility of success and you might be surprised by the results which come about.
We live in a culture of gossip, be it within the family, neighbourhood or on the job. Somehow the grapevine or gossip fuels our sense of curiosity and in fact is taken as a form of entertainment. Hearing some news about someone else, or spreading some exciting information can raise our interest. It may even go to the extent of just discussing a new employee or team member who m you may perceive to be a threat to yourself.
