Last time round I threw some random tips for getting started on your big plan. If you have taken your first baby steps already, you would understand how crucial a role your attitude plays in determining your success.
When you start out on a new initiative, there are a lot of factors that act as stirrups. You have your own drive, the challenge and exultation of doing something new, myriad encouraging voices and a few despicable naysayers who further fuel your ambition. But as you take your next steps, expectations go up as you build trust and credibility. This itself can become a huge obstacle if you are unable to manage the excessive trust. People all around you start expecting you to always perform at your best and the slightest deviation has the potential to kill your reputation. Now, how do you stay at the precipice without so much as batting an eyelid and continue to plot your onward climb?
Keep a cool head. Easier said than done. You would need a daily dose of stress-busters to keep your mind in shape. It's possible to hang on to your superstardom if you take care of your mind. Indulge it, stimulate it by interacting with intellectually curious people. There must be some sort of an activity that breaks your daily routine, gives you a chance to explore your potentialities without being judged. The derived joy can only further fuel your passion in all your other endeavors. As J.K. Rowling would say, always have a Patronus charm handy.
