(VISION) How Do I Get To The Next Level?

Everybody wants to level up, but often they make the process so much more convoluted than it really is.

Levelling up, or improvement is just a habit. With anything in life, consistency beats all. How much time per day do you allocate to improving your skillset, improving your knowledge or improving yourself as a person? These questions aren't being asked to make you feel shitty, but rather to unearth the possibility that you're not levelling up because you're not being consistent in your endeavours or because you don't know exactly WHAT you are trying to improve.

As discussed in previous material, clarity of vision is essential to success, but supplementary to this clarity of vision is the consistency of habits - what are you doing every day to bring you closer to levelling up?

I discussed this concept in my recently launched exam preparation eBook which you can download for free here.

To summarise, I used the example of exam revision to enforce the notion that it is not how 'hard' you work but rather how 'smart' you work. The same principle applies to levelling up. You don't have to commit endless hours to improve, all you need is a consistent, allocated time frame in which you dedicate to improving whatever it is you want to improve.

Consistent habits bring consistent results. This is a very similar concept to that of the Japanese philosophy of 'Kaizen' or continuous improvement. This perspective embodies consistent , marginal gains in order to continually improve the product, person or idea that is under scrutiny. This perspective does not aim for massive improvement as  large scale changes are very difficult to seek and implement consistently. Instead, the small scale changes that can be consistently implemented are made a priority in order to one day produce a completely revitalised product, person or idea.

Your success lies not in the speed, size or scale of your improvement, but rather the consistency in which this improvement can be maintained.

(EXPERIENCE) Connect With You: Dealing With Regret

One of the greatest tragedies that I can think of is reflecting on yourself and feeling regretful. 'I wish I did this instead of...' 'I wish I told this person how I REALLY felt...' 'I wish I could have done...' We all experience regret at some point in our lives, and it is at this point that we should look deep into our feelings and question why we walked down a path that we knew deep down couldn't accommodate for our needs and wants. Every day that we are gifted with is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and our truest, deepest desires and wants. We spend all day trying to impress the same people that evidently do not deserve our energy because they give nothing in return. We spend time developing relationships with these people instead of taking the time to delve deep and meet the purest version of ourselves, unfiltered from what exists outside our being, outside of our expectations. The world that we experience is a result of the fe

(BUSINESS) Altiefe Presents Launching An Idea Part 2: The Passionate Area

Welcome to the second article of this ‘Launching an Idea’ series. In the first article, we looked at identifying a driving force (available to read here ), today we are going to be looking at transferring that driving force over to a passionate area. What is a passionate area? Passionate area: A creative pursuit that a person feels most comfortable and most free to operate within. This is usually a specific area within a wider discipline/creative pursuit e.g. A fashion vlogger . Chances are, if you're reading this article you have an idea of what it is you want to do or where abouts your creative idea is going to be situated – the passionate area is a little more specific, though. To give this article some context, a friend of mine is a fantastic music producer. He can produce a number of different genres of electronic music and has found success in most of them but his main passionate area is within dubstep. Now, some of you may hear dubstep and go ‘yuck!’ b

(EXPERIENCE) What Meditation Has Taught Me: The Importance Of The Present

I have been recently delving into the discipline of meditation. I aim to practice only ten minutes a day, everyday. I would like to share with you perhaps my biggest breakthrough regarding meditation - the importance of the present. As a young creative, I am constantly looking either forwards  into the future visualing my goals or backwards  into the past - learning from my mistakes.  I found that through practice, particularly in guided meditation that I was ignoring arguably the most important time frame - the now . It suddenly dawned on me. In order to bring my future aspirations into fruition I have to examine my actions in the present moment to ensure that they fit with what I aim to achieve in the future . The same applies for my past - in order to ensure that I am learning from any mistake or painful experience, I have to be cognisant of what I am doing in the now to ensure that I am truly implementing changes from what I have learned from the past into my present day ac
