A cushy life might be a great ideal, where you always get what you want and make little to no sacrifices for your goals.
However, without any sacrifices your resilience wanes and your timing will be off.
You need to have some sacrifices to test your resolve.
Go try your hardest, make sacrifices, suffer a little, you’ll be a better person for it.
It’s your choice. Be distracted and your dreams drift further away. Or stay focused and have a better chance at a better life: the life you say you want.
Set your phone alarm for 7 minutes and press repeat each time it goes off. Then if you’re distracted it reminds you to stay focused. You can even put ‘STAY FOCUSED’ as the alarm name!
Rarely would this happen.
If you want to be great at a sport, you will need to sacrifice dating time, drinking time, drifting time and put a lot of training in. Same with education, work, relationships, etc.
You’ll need to sacrifice time, comfort and ease for involvement, hard days and tough work.
It will be worth it in the end. But you have to believe it and live it now.
Most things in life are simple.
Stop complicating it.
Make the sacrifices your goal requires and stop dragging it out.
Learn from the past but don’t focus on it. Focus on the future and take action today toward the outcome you crave.
Do not spend time, your life, on meh things. Go after your heart’s desire, your mind’s most exciting adventures and your soul’s true love.
Time is fleeting so only focus on the outcome you crave.
When it’s hot, it’s hot.
Try to keep your cool.
As kids, if we were arm wrestling, when you were in pain, you would say uncle. This was the case for any pain related activity.
Saying uncle meant the other person would stop inflicting pain and you gave up and they were declared the winner.
Sometimes, you just have to say uncle.
If you know where things are, you’ll find them quicker. When your files are in order, you can capitalise on opportunities more quickly and more often.
People think it takes too much time to get organised and stay tidy. Yes, it takes a bit more time but you save on all the faffing about when you can’t find things.
Make tidying things away properly part of completing the task. You’re not done when you throw it on the desk. You’re done when it’s been filed correctly and the next steps and meetings and invoicing are all in your calendar for follow up.
You need energy abundance! Although some of that is physical, you can go into hyper drive if you use your mind properly.
Your mind can push you way beyond your current limits. Your mind, well harnessed, can make you go beyond all your expectations.
If you get into the zone and tap into flow, you can be unstoppable.
Pay attention Oilers!!
Where do you want to be in 5 and 10 years? Who do you want to be around? What will you be doing?
