2 things to know…
ONE: we are each capable of more than we think.
TWO: AND it always will take more work than we think.
I know the first one because this has been true of everyone I’ve ever met (and it’s true of me too!) We are poor judges of what we are capable of and each of us has another gear, a deeper level, a bigger potential.
I know the second one because anything worth doing has always taken work. Starting or running a business isn’t easy. Diets aren’t easy. New habits aren’t easy.
The good stuff always seems to be hard…but it can be fun! Crossing the finish line at a race is fun. Throwing the last bag of clutter out from the house is fun. Making that last mortgage payment on the house is fun.
Thee are a lot of folks that seem to spend their time talking about how much work it will take us to accomplish our goals. They’re heavy on the practical side and low on the inspirational side.
And those that are inspirational don’t seem to acknowledge how difficult the work may be. Most self-help books…
- over stress how capable we are and
- under stress how much we’ll have to work!
I know because I’ve read a lot of them!
So… time will pass anyway. We might as well be doing something worthwhile as it passes.
