Comments on: Rewarding Yourself http://www.earlytorise.com/2009/01/05/rewarding-yourself.html The Web's Most Popular Newsletter Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:45:21 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Glenn Timberlake http://www.earlytorise.com/2009/01/05/rewarding-yourself.html/comment-page-1#comment-2000 Glenn Timberlake Wed, 25 Feb 2009 22:14:47 +0000 http://www.earlytorise.com/?p=5014#comment-2000 Thanks. I needed to hear and be reminded of the point of breaking the day or project down into simple rewards. I appreciate how this keeps you focused, motivated and fresh. I like how you demonstrated the need for a change of physical environment, activities and simple comforts. I will implement some changes. The following is a slightly different story about a motivating influence in my life. I am 56 years of age and was very resistant to embrace computer technology. The internet, e-mail, creating a website are still pretty new territory. My wife helps and I must drive her a little crazy. My desire to compete in a stock trading contest on CNBC pushed me over. I had to use a computer and the internet. I wanted to know how other people found all their information and how to invest and trade wisely. Most of my sources were on-line. I read the free newsletters that would like for me to purchase other newsletters. Between these and CNBC and Fox and Forbes, etc. I got to learn how other people think and what they believe - in light of the current news. Prior to the elections I begin to think about and write my own notes on paper regarding the financial, housing, energy, and employment problems. I used other peoples' ideas mixed with my views. I created a website for the purpose of putting down some of these ideas and eventually communicating with others who may have similar concerns. I was frustrated with the candidates' views. Although intelligent they seemed to be scientifically and technologically illiterate and out of touch with the real world that didn't live in their fishbowl. The congress and executive branch pontificate their professorial views while tone deaf to the need to balance a checkbook. They erect roadblocks to business when they should be removing them. They are a great hindrance to success in our time. Consider this analogy. If America is Snow-white then Congress and the executive branch is the witch lulling the maiden to sleep and keeping her removed from the prince. The prince is a package including all our Constitutional rights remaining intact without a slippery preclusion or two. Free enterprise and the fair practice of capitalism has to be included. And none of this will work without putting God in the center without restrictions. The previous viewpoint is an example of how and why I have been motivated to move into an area of the unknown in spite of impatience and perceived discomfort. I entered the foreign land of the computer, internet, e-mail, creating a website and communicating with people I can't see and don't know who can't see and don't know me. I am still learning to navigate, but at least I'm learning. onefire.webs.com is the website. Thanks for listening. Thanks.

Yes, it is good to appreciate the small pleasures. We really are privileged to have these. Thank you too for ETR. I'm a writer. This site is one of the firsts to introduce me to a whole new way of thinking. It's old hat now -- 2+ years later; even though somehow I feel I'm still sitting on the fence. "Old hat" in that I've learned so much. It's incredible. Thank you! Yes, it is good to appreciate the small pleasures. We really are privileged to have these. Thank you too for ETR. I’m a writer.

I found that their struggles were not from lack of ability but from a lack of activity. Fear of success is an obstacle for people just like the fear of failure. It seems however, that fear of the unknown is how its categorized because then no one has to figure out if its success or failure that frightens us more.

I would strongly adopt maintaining the daily task check list which would be such a pleasurable experience to me. In fact once in a while i do have this habit of writing down daily task list and following through the whole day, but its not a regular thing for me. it gives me immense satsifaction for me as the tasks get accomplished. Thanks for your valuable writeup. Regards, Baseeth It is highly motivating, i shall adopt this technique of rewarding myself for every little goal i accomplish.
