This Simple Quote Got Me Out of My Month Long Slump
As someone who values productivity and personal growth above a great deal of things, I admit that I have been way less than active these past few weeks.
I have blamed my inactivity on my lack of energy, emotions, circumstances, and whatever other scapegoat I could find. I slipped for one day, reveling in these excuses. That one day turned into a week. That one week turned into several. Here we reach the end of this cycle.
So, what was the quote that kicked my butt in gear? Well, it’s a simple one that people hear all the time. Even I think I have heard it at some point, but this is the first time I really heard this quote.
The saying is as follows:
“You are your habits.”
You see, this quote clicked into my mind differently than it did when I first heard it. This time when I heard the quote I had done so much studying on how to maximize my life. It was like I had all these loosely connected particles of knowledge and this quote was the string that looped all those particles into a big picture.
Here is what the big picture is:
Accumulating knowledge isn’t enough
During this slump, I wasn’t completely static and I am proud of that.
