Knowing you have to do something but choosing not to do it anyway.
The question you have to ask yourself at this stage is whether you actually want to do the thing at all.
This seems simple enough, but it actually has a lot of depth to it. For example, Most people dream of being a sports professional. The reason for this is usually because of the crowd cheering for you, the fame and the fortune and everything that comes with it.
But, few actually care to endure the hardships that each professional had to face to get there. The countless failures. The grueling practice. The endless humiliation they had to endure to get to the place they are now.
Basically, what these people want is the end result of being a professional. The people who are actually professionals however, are completely different in their way of thinking. They liked everything about getting to the top and not just the perks of being there. The pain, the practice, and everything. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made it.
To put this briefly, you have to love the journey and not the destination.
You have to fall in love with the practice, not the end result or the perks.
It sounds simple. But its really effective, when you want to narrow down what you actually want to do in life.
So next time you need to do something. Ask yourself this. Do you really want to do the thing you’ve been wanting to do?
