What you SEE is everything…
How did you start your day today?
Did you make up an excuse to be bitter with people becuase you didn’t have coffee yet? Did you focus more on social media than you did on clearing out the mental clutter left behind from your sleep/dreams?
DId you find reasons to complain about your work, your life, your relationship, your body, your money, your time, or anything else that feels “real” to you at this moment?
Did you scamper through the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen to rush your way through your daily preparations becuase you resist going to work or doing something you dislike?
Look, I KNOW how it feels to do things you don’t like each and every day. I KNOW how it feels to put yourself together to face a day that seems the same as yesterday with no hope for change. I KNOW how it feels to be scared and tired and burned out.
But there’s ONE thing that pushed me through…
Your WHY is the reason you get out of bed in the morning. Could be your kids, your retirement, an upcoming vacation, a wedding you have to get in shape for, starting your own business, etc. It’s the PASSION that burns inside you, keeping you up at night, turning the wheels in your head with creative new ways to make it all happen.
When you HAVE a purpose, you STOP blaming other people, government, society, culture, family, environment, and even luck, for your failures. Instead, you find a way to transmute those struggles into wins! Your purpose inpires you to seek excellence, to calibrate your actions in effort to align with the YOU that IS successful.
Today, I encourage you to revisit your WHY. Remember WHY you started on this journey. Remember WHY you were first inspired to take action on a goal. Remember WHY you made the decision to change your life.
And USE this purpose to break through any sorry ass excuses you have to procrastinate.
You woke up today. Not everyone has that gift. You probably woke up with a roof over your head and food to eat. Not everyone can say that. And if you are reading this….you have access to freaking WIFI that allows you to learn and grow faster than EVER before in history.
Ditch the whining. Ditch the excuses. BE the person that YOU would call Role Model.
