Your Perspective Matters so Watch Your Thoughts Carefully
A few friends asked how I maintain motivation in preparing for the Associateship of Asian Institute of Insurance (AAii) Level 2 certification? If nothing goes wrong, I will finish my certification by end of 2027. This is a long commitment as I have to pass 8 exams.
I do not see the exam preparation as a form of torture. When I prepare for the exams, I am excited as I know I am one step closer to my goals. By improving my knowledge, I can serve my customers betters and gain competitive advantage. This is not suffering! Suffering is when I am doing something that I do not want to do. Studying and preparing for exams is not suffering. It is a journey to a better future.
If you find yourself dreading to do something. Ask yourself whether doing it will improve your future? If yes, be grateful that you are doing it because your future self will enjoy the fruits of your effort.
