We all basically bullshit ourselves
in some way
That's just the reality of it
we all have our excuses,
our reasons
we blame things on external
sources
why certain things didn't happen
and sometimes our bullshit is so
good and believable that other
people buy into it, but we also
buy into it as well
and maybe your story or your BS
is I didn't have the time or I didn't
have the money
or there was traffic or this
happened to me because
of this person, my boss, my
family member, my parents
my brother, my sister
the country, the economy etc
we have these external things
that we blame
and these excuses and reasons
that we have
now what happens is every time
that you do that
every time that you blame or
you have an excuse
or you BS yourself or have a story
you're giving away your power
you're giving away your power
and you have no ability to change
what your current circumstance is
So getting to the truth and taking responsibility and ownership is
powerful
It's a really powerful thing, but it doesn't feel good because most of
us don't want to blame ourselves
because it makes us feel like we are failures, makes us feel like we
are not enough
But again if you can get to that
point and finally admit to yourself
Hey you know what, I am this way
because of me
then that can at least get you in the
right direction to make a change
Any area of your life that you want
to change. Any...
There's one fact you need to know
Ever
Noone's coming, motivation isn't
happening,
you're never going to feel like it
scientists call it activation energy
That's what they call the force
required
to get you to change from what
you are doing on auto pilot
to do something new
Do you think somebody who needs to
lose weight
ever feels like going on a diet?
Of course not!
Do you think they ever feel like
eating boiled chicken and peas
instead of a croissant? I don't
think so!
The activation energy required to
get your ass
away from your computer and out
of your front door
to go on the walk you said you
were going to go on
is the exact same amount of force
that it takes you
to push yourself out of a warm bed
and into a cold room
It's very very simple to get what
you want
but it's not easy. You have to force
yourself.
when I say force, anything that is
a break from your routine
is going to require force
I think when you feel stuck or
dissatisfied in your life
it's a signal
and it's not a signal that your life
is broken
it's a signal that one of your most
basic needs
are not being met. Your need for
exploration
Your soul needs exploration and
growth
and the only way you'll get it is by forcing yourself to be
uncomfortable
forcing yourself to get outside
out of your head. If you are in your
head you are behind enemy lines
that is not God talking, Okay!
you feelings are screwing you!
I don't care how you feel
I care about what you want
and if you listen to how you feel
when it comes to what you want
you will not get it
because you will never feel like it
and you need to get outside your
comfort zone
it's not about taking risks, it's about
getting outside your comfort zone
So one more thing you can use
I call it the 5 second rule
Your mind can process a facial
expression in 33 milliseconds
it can move pretty damn quick
the other thing that it does very
quickly
is if you have one of those
little impulses
that are pulling you
if you don't marry it with an action
within 5 seconds
you pull the emergency brakes
and kill the idea. Kill it.
If you have the impulse to get up
and come dance
while the band is playing, if you
don't stand up in 5 seconds
you're going to pull the emergency
brake
If you have an impulse, you were inspired by somebody's speech
today
and you don't do something
within 5 seconds, write a note
send yourself a text
anything physical to marry it with
the idea
you will pull the emergency brake
and kill the idea
your problem isn't ideas, your
problem is you don't act on them
You kill them. It's not my fault.
It's not anybody's fault.
You're doing it to yourself
Stop it!
I am counting on you!
