Being busy is really just a part of life. People have always been busy. Yet, we live like ours is the first generation to face such challenges.
Listen carefully when older people talk. Pay attention to history. You’ll discover times have always been tough, and always very busy.
When we accept this as never going away, we can begin to live. But not until then. Once we accept it, we can work real hard to figure out how to survive well, and to live well. It doesn’t require much.
Find it challenging to get motivated?
Or maybe getting motivated isn’t the challenge for you, is it the staying motivated part that challenges you?
And then there are always people who can get and stay motivated, but not for the long haul. And by the way, the long way is the shortcut.
You must be able to kick your own butt.
If you don’t have the guts, passion, determination, or any other ingredient you need, to kick your own butt, your big dreams will remain elusive.
These five daily blogs are the foundation of a community, of a movement. And as this “community” grows, we will all find creative ways to increasingly be here for each other. You good with that?
Change is the only constant.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Mostly, we hate change. But yet we are surrounded by it. At work. At home. On the news. In our face. Everywhere.
And deep down inside, we know that change has many positive benefits, and with hard work, we CAN change.
But who pushes you?
Who gets in your face and reminds you you can’t quit?
Is it you? Do you coach yourself?
And if you are self-coached, where did you learn it, from a book, a seminar, a show? Let’s be real.
Your biggest and best change came when someone believed you could do what you didn’t believe you could do. The “coach” got in your face and pushed you, and rode you, and drove you to excellence.
Who’s coaching you now?
Or don’t you care anymore?
Prove it.
Do something great today!
When was the last time you actually had those words come out of someone’s mouth and they were directed at you?
Got it?
Seriously, I’m talking to you.
PS. If not today, when? If not you, who?
Do you ever feel like a broken record? Saying the same thing over and over again?
Good. This means you’re on to something. And the more you explain it, the better you get at explaining it, and the more people you reach and the more intriguing your crazy dream becomes – not only for others, but also for yourself.
Yet knowing this is not enough. Why? Because most people are weak, overwhelmed, distracted, medicated, afraid, insecure. How do I know? Because I’m one of you.
After 14 months, I can count on one hand the number of people who’ve said, “Jeff, writing five differently themed blogs every single day is the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of”.
