There are no short-cuts to any place worth
going.
You have to do hard things to be happy in
life. The things no one else is doing. The
things that frighten you. The things others
can’t do for you. The things that make you
question how much longer you can hold on
and push forward.
Why?
Because those are the things that define
you. Those are things that make the
difference between existing and living –
between knowing the path and walking the
path – between a life of mediocrity and a
life filled with happiness and success.
Of course, the hard things are often the
easiest things to avoid. To procrastinate.
To make excuses. To pretend like they
somehow don’t apply to you and your life
situation.
But reality always rears its head in the end.
And the truth about how ordinary people
achieve immense happiness and incredible
feats of success is that they step out of their
comfort zones and do the hard things that
their more educated, affluent and qualified
counterparts don’t have the courage, drive
or determination to do.
So for your own sake, start doing the hard
things TODAY, I guarantee, you will be
blown away at just how remarkable you
really are and just how amazing life can be.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. You need to take small
chances everyday: it’s the
best way to face any problem,
crush every fear and overcome
life’s greatest challenge. And
you get just about as many
chances in life as you’re
willing to take. So never let
your fear decide your future.
Take small chances every
day. One step at a time. Some
will work out and some won’t.
But good choices or bad,
someone else will build your
life for you. And you don’t
want that.
2. You need to worry less
about what other people think
about you – A beautiful life is
about spending your time
passionately, being happy
with who you are inside, and
not worrying about everyone’s
petty judgement. If you want
to achieve greatness, stop
asking for everyone’s
approval. You don’t need
anyone’s approval to be
happy or to follow your heart.
3. You need to ignore what
everyone else is doing and
achieving – Your life is about
breaking your own limits and
outgrowing yourself to live
YOUR best life. You are not in
competition with anyone else;
plan to outdo your past, not
other people.
4. You need to invest in
yourself even when no one
else is – Truth be told, there
are only a few people in this
world who will stay 100% true
to you, and YOU should be one
of them. Prioritize your own
needs into your daily to-do’s.
Invest in your education,
health and happiness every
single day. Create a life that
feels good on the inside. Not
one that just looks good on
the outside to everyone else.
5. You need to walk the talk –
Do not ask others or the
universe to guide your
footsteps if you’re not willing
to move your feet. If you’re
not willing to move your feet.
If you really want it, prove it!
Happiness will come to you
when it comes from you.
Success will be yours when
you take responsibility for
making your goals a top
priority.
