“Learn to Like the Things That Need to be Done” - Dr. Shiv Khera. You Can Win
This is the most important message that I learned from the book “You Can Win”. It is a motivation and self-help book written by Shiv Khera which was published in 1998 and was among the best sellers of its time. Many times we come across things that are hard as they pose daunting and overwhelming challenges or put us in uncomfortable situations to the very least. It often pushes us towards escapism and procrastination and I have no shame accepting that I fall in this trap time and again. But when I recall this very powerful message, it reminds me that it is easy to give up and escape but that will never lead me to any achievement nor any success. This mantra gives me a new perspective to think about why something is important and encourages me to put my best effort into the process. Think about the successful athletes, do they not like to stay in a cozy bed or sit in the couch binge-watching their favorite tv programs? But they still go out and practice because they know that when things need to be done it needs to be done. What are the things in your life that you must learn to like?
