Do You Hustle
INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:
"Eighty percent of success is showing up."
~ Woody Allen
DO YOU HUSTLE OR HIDE?
If you are like most people today you're probably really busy. Going, going all day. But how close are you getting to your big dreams - the big goals?
You have the goal of being able to wear some of those "skinny clothes" in your closet, don't you? Remember that long lost friend of yours you had planned on calling? What about that list of yard chores that you intend to knock out?
The real life doesn't revolve around watching 'Friends' and staying for one more round of drinks. Is that really a fulfilling life? Do you look back on that with pride or a feeling of accomplishment? Will those happy-hour buddies really snub you if you left now? Are these people even supportive of your far off dreams?
The stars of 'Friends' make over a million per episode, but how much do you make watching them? Get a DVR and you can watch them when you're too exhausted to do anything fun and rewarding.
I know what it's like to have no control over the course of my life . . .
And what it's like to take control.
And it's even tougher to take sometimes, when you do everything you need to do and you still don't get your desired outcome. Downright frustrating, isn't it?
But here's a rule of thumb. If you're not done, keep going. Does it seem odd to even think about working past 5:00? What about throwing in the exercise video at 10:00 at night?
What would happen if you missed your favorite show this week? What would really happen? Shake up your routine. Get out a piece of paper and write down just one goal. A medium-sized goal. Something you've been putting off. Put down the things you need to do to make it happen. Put a date that it absolutely will be done.
Again, make it a medium-sized task... something that would only take about 10-20 hours to complete. Make a schedule. Commit to it... and finish it.
Look at your fears. Figure out what they're costing you. If you don't ask that person out, you both may miss out forever. If you don't practice, then you're not going to perform well. Plug in your own situation. Do you want different results in your life? Take a different course to reach those results.
Listen to your inner voice. What's it saying when you're worried or having a panic attack... over a very routine thing for most people? When you're stopped cold, notice what you're focusing on and what you're telling yourself.
I'll guarantee it's not, "Go for it!" You're most definitely not telling yourself that you can do the job... that it's no big deal.
Look at the empowering beliefs below and commit them to memory. Say them over and over until you dream about them. Read them constantly. Your circumstances won't change until your thoughts change. Pound that into your head.
Do like the legendary basketball coach John Wooden says and "drink from good books." He reads something powerful and encouraging every single day. And there was no better life coach than him. Do you believe "what goes in must come out?"
Then act by what you believe and keep the positive flowing in every minute you can. Set that goal... And get hustling.
Do that and something good will always happen.
