6 Subtle Signs You Are Secretly Killing Your Career by Faking Action Instead of Taking It.
If you ever feel like you are in a loop, chances are, you are.
Here’s some bad news. It figures if you want to make it big, you can’t get there without the pain of struggle.
Just like you can’t win a boxing tournament without getting punched in the face (sometimes by guys twice as big as you).
In fact, the dude who gets the belt receives much more punishment than the one who threw the towel in the first round of his first fight.
So if you want to succeed at anything, get ready to be comfortable being really uncomfortable. But guess what? Your brain doesn’t like that.
Your brain wants to protect you (and itself) from all the stressors and shower you with all the pleasures it can get. But there’s a problem. Being called lazy is also an unpleasant feeling. That’s why your brain wants to avoid it too.
But how? How do you protect yourself from both the pain of struggle and the guilt of idleness? Simple.
You make yourself think you are doing something — you make yourself feel as if you are making progress — when, in reality, you are not.
