Focus on where you want to be. What is needed, What do I need to learn, or un-learn. Make a plan, then start. Today. Now!
Nothing comes easy. Embrace the discomford for the long-term gains.
Feel the Fear, and do it anyway. Feel the fear and ACT anyway.
Your values are defined by your actions! What you regularly do!
Not by what you think you ought to do, or by what you wish you could do.
By acting you form the foundation of your character!
So. Do 1 step at a time. Start small. Realy own it. Make momentum. Keep it sustainable. Know your laziness and fight it ahead of time! prepare your surroundings, remove distractions as much as possible. pla, prepare, execute. Be pro-active.
Fix problems quickly, when they are still small. Don’t wait untill they have become big problems.
Mistakes Will happen.
Learn from them and move on. Do better next time. Make better mistakes. Just work on getting closer.
Use and build good habits. Use the concept of Micro Mastery in a wide range of subject. Keep it fun and keep building on your greater plan, on your ultimate goal.
You are where you are because of your past decisions. That cannot be changed. What you can change is where you are in the future. Work on where you want to be in the future today! Make the best of what you have, where you are, to go where you want to be.
And: Do not be upset by the results you didn’t get for the work you did not do!
Everybody starts out as a beginner. Every hero, artist, painter etc has started from zero. So do you.
They did not stop.
How to start?
Pick a commitment that is close to 100% under your direct control. Truly commit yourself to the action side. Don’t start with optimism, start with certainty! Be in control of your actions.
Expect the unexpected. Something always comes up. Deal with it. Stay committed. Take action.
