Release Yourself…It’s Not Going To Happen!

There’s a quote in the book “Atomic Habits” that most people ignore or skip over…probably because it’s so powerful.
This is it…
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.”
Let that sink in…
How many times have you wished for or said you wanted something that you’re not truly working toward?
You might be going through the motions. Or thinking about it all the time.
But are you taking action…doing what you need to do to achieve it?
I see a lot of business owners talk about wanting to make sales, or to have a bigger business, etc. And I also watch them not be willing to do what it takes to get there.
And, let me say…it’s ok. You don’t have to be willing to do whatever it takes. Just know what you are willing to do and set your expectations accordingly.
I just really love the idea of letting go of and stop wanting the thing if you’re not willing to do the work to get it.
It’s really a freeing idea.
You can’t put all that energy elsewhere.
Because you can have almost anything you want, if you’re willing to work for it.
And you get nothing you don’t work for.
Ask yourself this…“where’s my energy going?, what am I investing/spending my time and energy on?”
Just make sure you answer honestly. Nobody else will know anyway – unless you keep talking about the thing you supposedly want.
The worst lie you ever tell is the one you tell yourself…it’s also the easiest one to tell.
So, either go to work to get the thing you say you want or let it go. If you let it go, maybe there will come a time when you’re really ready to go for it and you can come back to it then.
Until then, spend your time and energy on something you really want…something you’ll do what it takes to get.
It’s ok to dream…
The question is do you want to turn your dream into reality, or do you just want to keep dreaming?
Achievement comes through action…by doing…not by dreaming.
Want help achieving your dream? I’ve helped hundreds of others achieve theirs…I can help you too…
To Your Success –
