Dentro di noi lottano due lupi.

Uno è la paura.

Porta ansia, preoccupazione, incertezza, esitazione, indecisione e inazione.

L'altro è la fede.

Porta calma, convinzione, fiducia, entusiasmo, determinazione, esaltazione e azione.

"Quale dei due lupi vince?"

"Quello cui dai da mangiare."

Gary Keller con Jay Papasan

4. Don't fear failure

It's as much a part of our journey to extraordinary results as success. Adopt a growth mindset, and don't be afraid of where it can take you.

Extraordinary results aren't built solely on extraordinary results. They're built on failure too.

In fact, it would be accurate to say that we fail our way to success.

Putaran yang berulang

.

Bagi sebagian orang kehidupan merupakan tempat berkreasi, banyak bertabur peluang dan kemungkinan, berkerlip menawarkan keindahan. Namun bagi sebagian yang lain kehidupan merupakan ruang rutinitas yang berulang dan membosankan.

Fenomena sekarang bahwa life freedom yang bermakna terbebas dari rutinitas harian dan memiliki warna baru setiap hari untuk dinikmati merupakan hal yang banyak diimpikan orang, terutama di kawala muda. Namun sayang, seringkali seseorang yang merasa terkekang dengan rutinitas harian ataupun pekanan yang sebenarnya ia ingin lari darinya dan meninggalkan semua itu di belakang sehingga tak pernah tertoleh lagi tak kunjung terealisasi. Entah karena takut dengan ketidakpastian, atau karena belum sanggup mendengarkan kritikan orang. Sehingga hari-harinya terselimuti awan mendung kegelisahan yang menurunkan hujan kesedihan.

Namun dalam kehidupan ini benarkah seseorang bisa terlepas sepenuhnya dari rutinitas, dan benarkah memiliki keterikatan dengan sebuah rutinitas harian yang harus dijalankan dan senantiasa terulang merupakan cara hidup yang patut untuk dihindari?

Senikmat dan seindah apapun kehidupan jika dijalankan dengan ritme yang sama maka suatu waktu pasti mendatangkan kejenuhan. Pemandangan terindah jika terus dipandang akan menaruh kesan 'biasa' di benak suatu waktu nanti. Hal tersebut merupakan sebuah watak yang telah ditanamkan dalam diri manusia, tidak pernah puas, selayaknya ketamakan akan harta. Sebagaimana yang dijelaskan oleh baginda Nabi ﷺ:

لَوْ كانَ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وادِيانِ مِن مالٍ لابْتَغَى وادِيًا ثالِثًا، ولا يَمْلأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إلَّا التُّرابُ، ويَتُوبُ اللَّهُ علَى مَن تابَ.

“Seandainya seseorang memiliki dua lembah harta maka ia pasti menginginkan lembah ketiga, dan tidak ada yang dapat memenuhi perut anak Adam melainkan tanah (kematian)”. (HR. Imam Muslim No. 1048).

Kemudian kita dapati bahwa konsekuensi sebagai umat muslim dalam rangka meraih keridhaan Allah ﷻ sebuah jiwa harus mau tunduk terhadap kewajiban-kewajiban yang telah Ia gariskan, di antaranya berupa amalan harian yang senantiasa harus dilaksanakan, pada waktu dan dengan cara yang telah ditentukan; seperti halnya shalat lima waktu. Sebagaimana yang difirmankan:

إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَٰبًا مَّوْقُوتًا

"Sesungguhnya shalat itu adalah fardhu yang ditentukan waktunya atas orang-orang yang beriman”. (Qs. An-Nisa: 103).

Sehingga kita dapati agama yang mulia ini melatih jiwa seseorang untuk bertahan di atas sebuah rutinitas baik yang ia yakini dapat membawa kebahagiaan dunia dan akhiratnya. Secara implisit bahwa jiwa yang telah tahan dalam alur dan rutinitas baik merupakan jiwa yang telah sampai pada level yang lebih tinggi. Senada dengan hal tersebut Nabi ﷺ bersabda:

أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ

“Amalan yang paling dicintai oleh Allah adalah yang paling konsisten meskipun sedikit”. (HR. Imam Bukhori no 6464 dan Imam Muslim no 783 ).

Imam Nawawi rahimahullah mengatakan, “Maksudnya mampu untuk konsisten dalam melakasanakan tanpa terbebani. Di dalamnya ada dalil anjuran untuk menjaga dalam beribadah, menjauhi berlebih-lebihan. Hadits tidak khusus dalam shalat, bahkan ia umum mencakup semua amalan kebaikan”. (Syarah Nawawi ‘ala Muslim, [6/ 70-71]).

Kalau kita menilik kepada dunia barat, jauh-jauh hari mereka telah mengakui bahwa pengulangan terhadap prioritas yang tepat merupakan tangga utama menuju kesuksesan dunia, sebagaimana yang di jelaskan oleh Charles Duhigg dalam bukunya The Power of Habit dan Gary Keller beserta Jay Papasan dalam buku mereka The One Thing.

Sehingga pada akhirnya sebuah rutinitas baik merupakan bekal seseorang untuk mendapat kemuliaan dunia dan akhirat. Hanya kesadaran yang perlu senantiasa untuk diarahkan kepada sisi positif sehingga dapat kembali melihat nilai baik dari rutinitas tersebut. Tanpa harus merubah haluan yang telah diarungi selama ini hanya disebabkan oleh rasa jenuh atau termakan kata-kata kebebasan.

The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results (Authors: Gary Keller, With Jay Papasan)

Small Talk 1: If you don’t think BIG you put a cap on what you can achieve

Prioritize your to-do list. All items are not equally important. The Pareto principle states- 80% of the defects comes from 20% of the flaws.

Ask FOCUS questions

The secret to getting ahead is to getting started.

The secret to getting started is knowing what to do and focus on

What’s the ONE thing you can do such that by doing it everything else becomes easy or unnecessary.

Find the direction and choose the action.

Small Talk 2: The secret to a disciplined life is sequential habit forming.

Use discipline selectively to form enduring good habits.

Channel all of your discipline into ONE habit that will anchor you.

Once you establish one habit, move onto another.

Build positive habits by selectively applying discipline.

Small Talk 3: Multi-talking is inefficient. Pick ONE thing.

Humans can’t focus on two things at once

Task switching enacts a time penalty. Every time you stop, you have to remember where you were and what you were doing.

Small Talk 4: Your will-power is like a fuel tank. Choose carefully where you use it.

Willpower drains throughout the day, depending on what activities you engage in.

When you focus attention, suppress emotion- depletes your emotion.

For examples- did you know research shows judges much more likely to give "no parole "to offenders at the end of a long work day at court? With energy is depleted- people are more likely to follow the path of least resistance.

Small Talk 5: Saying No to unimportant tasks is vital to focus on important one

Say NO to low priority requests.

Take a page from Apple's book- they went from 350 products to just 10.

Focusing is about saying NO.

Put in systems to cut down on the requests you get.

Small Talk 6: Living with purpose and visualizing goals sets you on the path to success.

Must have concrete goals to work towards to be able to know what you’re doing, why, directing your actions

Visualize each step.

What’s the ONE thing you want to do and achieve in life

Small Talk 7: Never compromise your personal life for professional goals, prioritize your work-time ruthlessly

Work is made of rubber- the others are make up glass.

Prioritize work time to focus on professional goals.

Small Talk 8- To focus on ONE thing you need time management strategies. And to embrace some chaos.

Chaos always builds but keep focus on your ONE thing.

Schedule blocks of time to work on your ONE thing and ruthlessly defend those blocks.

[thatmcgwords]

“Many people tend to spread themselves too thin, resulting in their failure to achieve. If you want to make long-term life changes, choose one thing and then focus your energy on being phenomenal there.”

Excellent results depend on how narrow your focus is. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

Be like a postage stamp; stick to one thing until you get there. ~ Josh Billings

If you ever wondered how successful people use the same 24 hours daily and seem to get more done, you’ve found your answer. The one thing is the main thing, a person, a passion, or a skill that is a deal-breaker in getting what you want.

“Deleting the things that do not matter at a particular time to make room for the things that do will narrow your focus, and the one thing will become crystal clear: your aim.

You can achieve significant business, spiritual, or marriage goals, but you only get results if you find your top priority and follow through.”

Success does not happen all of a sudden; it is not magic. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

“Six lies might stand between you and success. These lies are:

Everything matters equally”

Multitasking

Neither of them gets your maximum attention when you do two things simultaneously. Multitasking leads to limited productivity and distractions, making accomplishing your goals much more challenging. The principle of the one thing does not thrive amidst such conditions.

“3. A disciplined life

While discipline is needed, a positive habit is more important. When faced with a task, you don’t always need discipline. So instead of focusing on it solely, you can channel your efforts into picking and cultivating relevant habits.

Willpower is not always on will-call

Willpower is delicate, and you should treat it with as much care as possible. It is a critical part of success and a determinant of many decisions you will make on your journey to your dreams. It is not infinite, though. Everyone has a limited willpower supply, so it is necessary to recharge it constantly.

A balanced life

Balance is a myth. It means staying safe in the center, and we all know nothing exciting happens there. The big things occur at the extremes. An extraordinary life is a counterbalancing act. Make your priorities very clear to make follow-through easier. Choose your focus, and abandon the rest.

Big is bad

When you automatically label big things as bad, you are less likely to make progress or shatter any glass ceilings. Don’t limit yourself to only making small steps. Big success starts with big thinking.

“Here are some truths that will help you achieve more with less effort:

The focusing question

Tasks can look insurmountable when you see them at first glance. The trick to making them easier is to break them down into smaller bits. That way, you only need to begin with the first and work your way down until you’ve completed everything.

You only need one focusing question to put everything in perspective: “What is the one small and specific thing that can make all the rest unnecessary or done with less effort?”

Your choices and decisions determine what kind of results you get. The focusing question throws all the light on your one thing and brings the essential to the fore.

Success is not about setting your life on fire. It’s about doing a few things really well. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

“Here are some steps to get great results and bring the one thing to the fore of your life:

Get acquainted with the idea of the one thing and ensure you fully understand it. Trust that this principle can change your life.

Put the focusing question to use every day; ensure you consciously ask yourself about the one thing that will make everything easier.

Form a habit of asking yourself the focusing question. Stick with it and practice daily until it becomes an integral part of you.

Leverage reminders everywhere around you. Set alarms, phone wallpapers, or create wall stickers, so that you can get constant reminders.

Recruit support from others. Tell them about the one thing and share your plan so they can help when it seems like you need a pick-me-up.

Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. ~ Will Rogers

“But to find great answers, you must ask big and specific questions. Instead of asking, “How do I get the promotion?” include a challenge and a deadline in your question: “How do I achieve my KPIs and sign three new contracts in four months?”

To find a great answer to a great question, explore the possibilities that do not just lie around. Do the research and put in extra effort to get the extraordinary results you seek.

Your life must have a purpose if you want to be successful. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

“Dr. Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, distinguishes five elements that create our happiness:

Positive emotions and pleasure

Engagement

Achievement

Relationships

Meaning

According to his ideas, engagement and meaning are the most significant. Doing more things that bring sense to your life is a way to true happiness.

“The purpose is what keeps you going when it feels like you’ve come to the end of the road. It fuels your one thing and aligns everything in the direction that points to success. Ask yourself what the one thing is that you want the most. Above everything else, what do you want your life to be about? That is your purpose.

If you want to finish your to-do lists, try the time-blocking technique. The only thing you have to do is block out the hours that you need to spend on the one thing. You can also block hours daily or weekly to create a habit. Another important step here is to make sure you reserve some time off. You’ll need this time to rest and take a break from the one thing so you can return stronger and with more energy.

The secret of achievement is not working more hours but working more effectively during the ones you already have. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

“Time-block the one thing — a minimum of four hours each day — for you to concentrate on the thing you’ve decided is the most important to you. Also, block your planning time — the time you spend going back to the drawing board to strategize and brainstorm.

Even when you time-block everything, there are bound to be distractions from the one thing. Here are a few ways to deal with them:

Build a bunker, a space where you can’t be disturbed.

Store provisions close to you so you don’t have to take long breaks to get what you want.

Sweep for “mines” — any possible distractions. Dedicate 100% attention to your one thing.

Enlist support from people around you who will push you to do better.

Follow these three measures to stay committed to your one thing:

Pursue the path of mastery: Remember that it’s a constant process, not a destination. The journey to mastery never ends; there’s always a new level to unlock. The more time you invest in your one thing, the more self-confident and competent you become.

Move from entrepreneurial to purposeful : Move from the zone of limits to a limitless one. It implies pushing yourself beyond the ordinary and exploring the potential available to you.

Live the accountability cycle: You won’t get things right every time. Taking responsibility for your wins and your losses is a good way to maintain accountability. Accountable people (who you want to be) acknowledge reality.

“If you have noticed that you are not getting maximum productivity in any area of your life, check that you do not have a problem with the following:

Inability to say no: Different people and situations demand our attention at various times every day, and it sometimes seems impossible to say no and concentrate on the one thing. Learning to say no makes you more focused on your goal and ensures you get the most work done.

Fear of chaos: Life goes on even when you remain focused on your one thing. And since you still exist in this world, you’re not exempt from what happens in it. The hard pill to swallow is that other tasks will most likely not get done when you concentrate on your one thing. But remain focused on your priority, and don’t let anything steal you entirely from what matters most.

Poor health habits: You must take care of yourself. Eat at the right time and rest adequately. You won’t achieve much if you don’t feel well.

Your environment is not conducive to achieving goals: Ensure the people around you support your goals and give you all the positive energy you need to focus on the one thing. Don’t be distracted by your surroundings. The environment you find yourself in must keep your productivity high.

The journey to success begins with going the extra mile to find your one thing. ~ Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

“The first step to greatness is the one thing. Multiply your current income by a number that will produce what you want your income to be - do you want to double it, triple it or even quadruple it? Does your current lifestyle allow you to achieve it? If so, use a higher number and repeat until you find the point where your current effort is not enough. Go back to the drawing board and start making plans to achieve the new goal.

You alone get to determine if you will succeed or not. It might change, but there is something that will matter more than everything else. And when that one thing aligns with your priorities and purpose, life becomes productive.

“Ask yourself how you can best perform but expect to meet a few roadblocks on your path; as with every good thing, progress takes time and a lot of commitment. So, keep going even when you struggle. Everyone fails at different times; what is important is getting your act together and coming up with a new plan to get things done. If you strive to have everything, you might end up with nothing.

“Concentrating on one thing will get you what you want. There should always be one thing in your life that is in harmony with your purpose and a top priority. It will be the most effective thing that will help you fulfill your potential. Whatever you do, do not lose sight of your one thing.

“Write down the one thing you can do this week to improve your self-confidence. Then, write the one thing that matters most in your business and personal areas.
