🐸 𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐆!!! 🐸

Whether you are working as an Online Freelancer or as a company employee or running your own business, you have objectives🎯. It may be to bring food to the table, achieve financial freedom, leisure and travel, have your own home, and a lot more. And fulfilling your goals🎯 requires hard work and time. In short, you won't have it on a silver platter.

Realizing your objectives will require you to further break them down into smaller targets. It is effective, but believe me, you might get overwhelmed seeing those tasks. And you tend to lose focus worse, you procrastinate.

Thus I suggest you eat that 🐸frog!!!

Don't worry. I am not telling you to 'literally' eat a 🐸frog.

So what does 'eating the frog' have to do in achieving your objectives🎯? Having set your list of 'small' targets📝, the 'frog' refers to the task that you least want to do or you feel like not doing at all. The idea is to try to accomplish first what you think is a challenging and priority task. Yes, completing it does not get you to your objective but instead moves you closer to realizing it.

So what's next after 'eating that frog'? You'll have that sense of accomplishment, be surprised and happy, and be motivated to take the next task. The more you get that motivation, the more you get productive.

So, are you ready to 'EAT THAT FROG'? I'll be looking forward to your comments below about that task you least wanted to do and what actions you plan to make.

THE IRONY OF WORKING FROM HOME.

Every struggle of people working from home: the internet connection. Have you ever experienced seeing this error message when you are near your deadline and you have a workload to finish? We can all relate to this, right? 🚩🚩🚩

Who doesn't get annoyed with the fact that the company already provided you with everything so things during work should go smoothly? But then, lo and behold, you see this message on your screen and you can't help but do a facepalm. 🤦

What's more frustrating is when you are at a company Zoom meeting and you're already a few minutes late. Or when you are in a video call with your potential client and they ask you if you have a good internet connection. You can only say, "WHY ME?" 😭

Give this message a 😂 if you were in the same situation.

EVERYONE STARTS WITH ZERO KNOWLEDGE. ✨

Making a few mistakes when you are a first-timer is OKAY. Be it in school or work, failing on your first few tries is understandable. After all, nobody becomes good at something with just one try. It takes a lot of practice, patience, and courage before you can master something. 😉

Just like in the art of pottery making, you need to put in a lot of effort, sweat, and determination before you can create a masterpiece. It will take you hundreds of times to make the perfect mug or pot but what's important is that you learn through the process. 💪

Along the way, you will make lots of mistakes. And mistakes lead to failure at some point. But it does not mean that you are already a failure. It just means that you need to try harder the next time and learn from your mistakes. Do not be discouraged. 👍

Remember: you can only win in life if you focus on your goals and do not let your failures and mistakes define who you are. Believe in yourself. Believe that you are capable of being successful just like everyone else. Don't stop trying until you can finally say that "I AM SUCCESSFUL". 😎
