Most of us weren’t born into a charmed life. Many were born into less than favourable situations; however, how we start is not how we have to end. One of the best things about being a human being is our capacity to learn and adapt. Being an eager learner, understanding when to enact change and having a great desire to achieve, can propel an individual from bottom of the rung to top tier. Mastery of certain key skills are some of the tools we require to accomplish our goals. Master them and like Liam Neeson, those special skills will help you beat incredible odds.
Be Of Value
Value doesn’t have a monetary number attached to it, it simply means being useful to yourself and others. Be kind, provide security, laughter, critical thinking or be a great listener. Bringing any or a few of these attributes into a situation and you will be seen as valuable.
Be Consistent
This skill will have you constantly levelling up. Whether it is time management, how you fuel and train your body, feed your mind, tackle tasks or treat those around you. Having consistency creates habits and good habits lead to great rewards.
