We are all caught in a chaotic world. To maintain our sanity, we must learn to listen and use effective self-management methods. Self-management is controlling one’s activities in order to make it productive and not let life go haywire for the lack of a roadmap. In other words, self-management requires discipline, honesty and clarity of purpose. Discipline has a way of cultivating the rest of the qualities needed for self-management.
According to HA Dorfman, author of The Mental ABCs of Pitching: A Handbook for Performance, “Self-discipline is a form of freedom – from laziness and lethargy, from weakness and fears and doubts”. It allows you to feel your inner strength. And you become the master of yourself as well as of the things/ persons you are dealing with.
Self-management can be perfected by being a keen listener. Listening gives you a complete picture and understanding of the situation you are struggling with. Listening ability helps one in the management of day-to-day work and keeps us away from chaos and failure.
Listening gives one the capacity and ability to see through an issue and gives a proper perspective while dealing with it in any form. Thus, the chances of one’s meeting with success will be a great deal higher if one listens to all around and take a decision accordingly.
One must realise that selfmanagement is the only way to managing things/others. Don’t we say one should put one’s own house in order first? Once that is done, one has to have the vision to view the end while carrying out a task. And then one has to be a hard task master on one’s self; the harder you are on yourself, the greater the chances of your following the winning track. Being a hard task master of the self leaves very little chances for self-pitying and getting lost in the messy world of a loser.
True, at times, circumstances do play hard on you, but there is never a perfect chance; you have to grapple with the problems and make them your vehicle of success.
