In one of my daily posts, I wrote about how you can really do anything you put your mind to. You know what it takes, you know all the steps and if you do it, you know it can happen. What I didn’t mention was that it IS hard to achieve that goal, whether it be a slimmer body, financial freedom, a better relationship or anything in between.
That is because anything worth having doesn’t come easy. If getting fit and in good shape was easy, then everyone would be fit. If reaching financial freedom was easy, then everyone would be financially free. If completing a triathlon was easy, then everyone would do it. You get my point. Whatever it is that you are trying to do, whatever that goal may be that you are trying to achieve, getting there will NOT be easy. It will take lots of time, hard work and dedication.
So what do you do?
You have to do something more than you are now. You have to do what others are NOT doing. When your friends may be partying it up over the weekend, you may have to skip out and attend that weekend conference to get that promotion at work. When others sleep in until 10 on Saturday mornings, you may have to wake up at 6am to work on that side hustle. You may have to skip out on those Sunday brunches with co-workers if being at church is your priority.
The underlying question becomes this; what are you willing to give up, skip out on and change in your life so that you can achieve that goal? The answer is completely different for everyone that reads this, because everyone’s priorities and lives are different. There is no right or wrong. It’s whats right for you.
Call to ACTION: You already know what you need to cut out OR add to your routine to get closer to that goal you have been thinking of getting to. UNDERSTAND that it WILL be difficult, but know that it will also be worth it. So, just do it!
