Who is it really? Is it truly an outside person that is stopping you from achieving your ideal life? Or does that make it easier to live with as an answer? You’ll usually find, if you’re being brutally honest with yourself, that you are the only one stopping you. This mindset may be due to your self-identity, path uncertainty, or desire to avoid the tough decisions and hard work you’ll need to endure. So decide, make a plan, see yourself as that successful person and get to work!
Reading A Brief History Of Time and listening to Sapiens on Audible these days. Lots of thoughts percolate up with these types of books. While everything matters in the moment, your actions today are unlikely to be remembered or really matter 500 years from now. So what’s it all for? Perhaps any reason is a good one.
Somedays this is all you feel you can do. Keep pushing through though. You’ll get more done than you thought you would.
I happened upon a video today that reminded me of this point made by Thomas Sowell, and possibly others too. Everything in life seems to be about tradeoffs. Certainly everything to do with money. We like to think there are absolute solutions but really they are just more, or less, palatable tradeoffs.
What would you need to be true, to be happier? Have you considered this? Do you have control over any of these items? Why not start doing the things now to make yourself happier?
Do you really know? Have you ever really given 100%? If you have, could you have gone 40% more? Did you try? We are far more capable than we believe. Try pushing one of your limits today.
Approach challenging topics head on. Avoiding them doesn’t make them any better.
It’s how you find new opportunities, business partners, ideas, solutions and adventure. Get out there. Mix it up a little.
Keep pursuing better and more. Not in a crazed un-disciplined way but in a focused manner. Having a purpose and being hungry to achieve it Is worth more than bars of gold.
Giant leaps of progress are brilliant. You feel you are really moving. But each small step adds up too. So remember to celebrate every little step. These are the building blocks to your incredible future.
