I’ve noticed a trend. A trend where a bunch of people are super pumped up at the beginning of the year, eager to go after their goals, but then never REALLY pushing that hard to achieve them. They’re all “RAH RAH RAH I’M SO AMAZING” for the first 2 weeks of January, and then they start to fizzle out, like “fuck it, this is way too hard, I’ll set some more realistic goals instead”. And so thet do. Or they give up altogether and affirm that NEXT YEAR they’ll do it. Next year they’ll REALLY give it their all. But you and I know that’s a load of crap. Because if you REALLY wanted to do something, you’d do it now. You’d make it happen, regardless of how “unrealistic” it seems. So while just 2 weeks ago there was a lot of RAH RAH RAH-ING, there is now a lot of silence. Did you notice? If you were one of those people that went quiet, let me tell you this: Silence won’t make you more money Silence won’t make your life easier Silence won’t allow you to make a difference Silence won’t make you happy What will ACTUALLY happen is you will start to beat yourself up inside, give yourself shit about how you “suck” at this goal-setting stuff, maybe even try to make yourself feel better by throwing out all kinds of excuses as to why you gave up, why you slowed down, why you’re now questioning your abilities – And it will start to eat you alive. You will start to actually BELIEVE all of the negative...
