Do It Anyway!

I never understood the mentality of do it anyway. See I've always done what I feel. If you don't feel like writing, then don't write. If you don't feel like working out, don't work out. Because if I did work out, if I did write, the output wouldn't be very good. Because I wasn't into it, I would drag my feet through it.

But guess what? I was wrong.

If you want to vastly improve, you have to do it anyway. 


Do you want to see real results?

Then Do it anyway.


Do you want to build a habit?

You have to do it anyway.


You have to learn to do "It" in a real and focused way even when you're not in the mood. Even when you're tired. Even when you're sick. Even when there are 100 other things on your mind. 

For everything in life consistency is key. 


Every morning I wake up at 5:30am. Most of the time I'm dragging my feet. I feel like I'm dying. But I do it. And guess what, today my phone had died and I woke up at 5:30. No alarm. No snooze option. I woke up. Because I was consistent throughout every day, even when I wanted to sleep in. So that the day when I may have done it accidentally, I was wide awake.


We need to treat each goal the same way. To understand that we'll never get there if we do things when we're in the mood. We need to do it every single day and stay focused on what we're supposed to be doing and that way, when the time comes and something goes awry. The habit takes over and it's second nature.


So do it anyway. Lift the weights. Write the chapter. Make those calls. Whatever you believe needs to get done in order for you to achieve your goals. Make sure that you do it. DO IT ANYWAY!

Open Opportunity

Image
Opportunity is freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to have options. The freedom to look at possibilities and select what best fits your needs and wants. The cereal aisle is the perfect example of open opportunity. You can ask yourself. Do I want fruity or do I want oats? Do I want honey or do I want chocolate? Do I want a small box or a big box? Do I want name brands or do I want the value brand?   The analogy of the cereal aisle as a representation of open opportunity beautifully captures the essence of freedom of choice and the ability to explore possibilities. A neat and organized collection of choices all in one place that show their cost, their size and their contents upfront. Yes, this is opportunity at its most simplest form but it is the truest example of open opportunity. It's not merely about selecting a cereal; it's about making decisions that define our preferences and aspirations. This, in essence, is the heart of opportunity, the freedom to navigate throu...

Opportunities Take Courage

Image
In the pursuit of our dreams, thoughts, or ideas, it's often natural to feel a sense of vulnerability. Sharing these aspirations can be awkward, driven by the fear of judgment or criticism. The concern that others might dismiss or find fault in our dreams can be paralyzing, causing us to keep them hidden within ourselves. However, this reluctance to share our ideas can hinder their growth and potential impact on the world. Similar to nurturing a child, we need to give our ideas the strength to stand on their own. This involves not only developing the idea itself but also building the courage to present it to the world. Like children need exposure to the challenges of the world to grow and thrive, our ideas need to be shared, discussed, and refined to reach their full potential.   The fear of judgment is a common barrier to sharing our dreams, whether with friends, family, or even strangers. Yet, this fear must be overcome if we are to progress and grow. It's essential to recog...

Attention Creation

Image
I watched a video the other day that said attention is the newest form of currency.  That grabbing someone else’s attention was worth more than money or your time because you were capturing “Their” time.  And then I walked into a grocery store. Upon entering the grocery store, I encountered vibrant displays of beers in display in the fridge. The array of colors, diverse packaging, and assorted characters, each with artistic and sometimes abstract elements, had my attention. I stood looking over the selection. It was then that it struck me that every detail was meticulously designed, all in a collective effort to vie for my attention with the ultimate goal of enticing me to make a purchase.  As I walked through the store towards the counter I looked at the bags of chips. They were lined up the same way. The meats in the butcher's display were all lined up in the window for me to see. Everything was vying for my attention.  For the attention of their audience. But this...
