Remember when you said you’d do anything to live the life of your dreams?
Remember when you were so CERTAIN of what you were about to do?
Remember when you ignored all the naysayers and did your own thing anyway?
What happened to that person?
Where’s the DRIVE, the CERTAINTY, the PASSION? ‘Cause we sure don’t see it from you now.
Is it because you feel stuck? Lost? Confused? Is it because you’re tired and overwhelmed? Is it because you’re frustrated?
Listen, I’m gonna give it to you straight (don’t I always??) –
Too bad.
Too freakin’ bad that you feel stuck.
Too freakin’ bad that you feel lost.
Too freakin’ bad that you feel confused.
Too freakin’ bad that you’re tired.
Too freakin’ bad that you’re overwhelmed.
Too freakin’ bad that you’re frustrated.
TOO FREAKIN’ BAD.
If you want this life –
The one of passion, freedom, impact, and abundance in all areas, well –
Then you’ve gotta suck it up and keep pushing on. One step at a time.
That’s exactly how I built my business - one step and one day at a time. Little by little. Bit by bit. I would work late into the night and early in the mornings. I would study sales and copywriting while my toddler napped. I would say ‘no’ to any invites or calls or ANYTHING that wasn’t going to either A) make me happy OR B) make me money/help me build my business.
It was hard. I felt stuck all the time. I was overwhelmed and frustrated on the daily. And I’m sure I bitched and complained about that, too! But you know what I didn’t do? QUIT. I never stopped. I never said I had to “go away and think for awhile”, or “refocus” or “take a breather”.
I just kept pushing. I knew that I would eventually get it - and I DID.
Winners are born from perseverance and a solid commitment to getting what they want. If you don’t have those two qualities, you’ll never be a winner.
You need to persevere, even when things get tough (and ocassionally, they will).
You need to commit to your desires, no matter how uncertain you are about making them happen.
You need to persevere, when when you don’t know what to do (just do SOMETHING).
You need to commit to treating this life as if it’s your only one (because it is), and start taking some serious action.
You don’t want to keep waiting around until years have gone by. How depressing those years would be, not living your purpose and sharing your gifts with the world.
Persevere.
Commit.
Persevere.
Commit.
All day, every day, no matter what stands in your way. Keep going. You’ve got this.
Also, know this –
No matter how many hours you spend “working”, the magic actually starts working and results start to manifest, the moment you make the decision that you’ll accept nothing less than what you truly desire.
