The Truth
Heck ya it’s Friday!
NEW CONTENT AVAILABLE FOR MARCH!!! GO CHECK IT OUT!!!
I hope you have some fab plans for the weekend – I want you to take the time to relax regroup and be ready for MONDAY! PS – Monday is the fav day of the week for me because I make it that way! Seriously – I focus on what I want out of a Monday and do it. No more dreadful Sunday evenings.
So after you figure out how to make your Monday fabulous (PS – schedule some serious ME TIME in there – trust me on this one) – I want you dig deep into today’s subject “The Truth”
#TruthBomb: Talent and Passion will only get you so far.
I’ve written a lot about how to get what you want out of life and how you push through the pain. Passion and talent are VERY important – don’t get me wrong, but in the end they won’t get you where you want to go if you don’t show up over and over again.
The Truth is – the secret to success is doing the work.
If you are on my weekly email list – I told about the Motivation Crash – this is when you start something with super energy only to crash when the going gets tough.
That crash is when most people quit.
That quitting divider is what separates the achievers from the non-achievers.
If you want to be successful at anything you have to realize it’s a LONG GAME.
There will be hard times.
There will be really shitty times.
There will be times where you are curled up in a ball on your bed sobbing like a damn two year old.
There will be times – many times – you will doubt your vision, your path.
There will be times that people think you are crazy.
I’m not telling you all of this to scare you – I just want you to be aware that all of these things will happen when you take on BIG STUFF – stuff that’s completely new and unnerving to you.
If it’s scary then it’s Big Stuff.
So the truth is, there are millions who have great talent and passion but never are able to monetize it or convert it into their “dream”.
The Truth is…
If you want success you need to:
- Know that it’s a long game
- Know that it won’t always be easy
- Know your energy will wax and wane
- Know some days will be God awful and you’ll want to quit
- Know that to win you need to show up over and over again – each day is a new beginning
- Know that you have the exact life you want and if you don’t change..nothing will change
- Know that it asking for help is NEEDED if you want to win.
- Know that finding mentors is vital – and mentoring others is just as important
- Know that serving others will grow you exponentially
- Know that your dreams can come true if you dig down and want them badly enough
Print these 10 things out – or better yet, write them in your journal.
Go back to the seven layers exercise and your crazy list of what makes you happy.
What is it that you want?
Understand that the long game is in front of you – look for the lemonade in the lemons – find the light that will get you to where you want to go.
It’s all yours for the taking. You just need to grab it.
Have an amazing weekend – see you next week.
Let’s make some magic happen – shall we?
