What’s it going to take?
Losing your health? Your marriage or relationships? Your job or business?
What is it going to take in order for you to level up?
Humans are such interesting creatures. While we are capable of creating and producing monumental advancements in technology and lifestyle improvements, we all deal with an internal dialog that can at times be positive and uplifting; and other times crushing and defeating.
I would argue that most people are aware of the fact that if they consume large quantities of fast food regularly, while sitting in front of a box for hours a day (playing video games, mindlessly surfing the net, binge watching movies or TV shows) and not follow through on commitments…would lead to some very negative consequences.
But when we appear okay on the surface…we have a respectable career or are running a business that is paying the bills…the kids are clean (most of the time) and fed…and you pay your bills on time (not without angst as you anticipate the future and how you will carve out financial security with all the obligations you have)…yet there is an underlying current of fear, that if stepping up and moving past the comfort of normalcy would be painful, unrealistic and even selfish to pursue.
It is not selfish to want to become more…better than you are right now.
Comfort and the desire not to step out of bounds can create a self-imposed prison.
Being extremely uncomfortable (on the cusp of losing your home, job, business etc.) can be the biggest blessing you could ask for, as you are then FORCED to take action consistently until you dig out.
But why wait until desperation forces your hand?
Why not DECIDE what you want and take daily actions towards the goal…now?
Why not take small bites every day…while you are semi comfortable…in order to move towards fulfillment or security or notoriety…whatever it is that you inwardly crave?
You have to want to listen to that voice or feeling inside, encouraging you to be more, do more, contribute more and take small actions daily towards your objectives.
