invent yourself and then reinvent yourself, don't swim in the same slough. invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and stay out of the clutches of mediocrity. invent yourself and then reinvent yourself, change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you. reinvigorate yourself and accept what is but only on the terms that you have invented and reinvented. be self-taught. and reinvent your life because you must; it is your life and its history and the present belong only to you. Charles Bukowski.
You read enough. Talked enough. Researched enough. Thought enough. Dreamt enough. Networked enough Deferred enough. You are more than enough. It’s time.
What got you here, won’t get you to there. If you want to grow a houseplant, you can water it, give it sunshine. But the limit to its growth is not your targets for it, but the pot you have placed it in. If you want it to grow, it will need a bigger home. Likewise, to grow your business, you have to grow first. #dobreakthrough
Fall in love with the incremental. Fall in love with small wins. Fall in love with a little bit of progress. Fall in love with a daily ritual. Fall in love with keeping your word. Fall in love with self-integrity. Fall in love with the process. Understand change is messy. Understand enthusiasm wanes. But Endurance is not a nice caption, it is your spirit. You are what you repeatedly do. Not what you repeatedly say you are going to do. Today I will not try the impossible. I will set the bar low. And I will jump over it each day. The 1% better approach. The power of the daily practice. How can I get better today than I was yesterday? Most people ignore the small things they can do because they don’t offer a big enough result. Instead, they seek to attempt to hit the ball out of the part. Take the big swing. Go for glory. But the power of the incremental gain overtime provides a much better result. The compounding effect of trying to get better by 1% a day is huge. Compounded it is 3,800% per year. That’s 40 times better than where you started in just one year.
We are all waiting for the right time to follow our hearts, to pursue the thing we dream about in quiet moments, but the truth is that there is rarely a right time when all the stars line up to make it a perfect moment. Yes, a New Year makes us focus. It makes us ask the difficult questions. Why do you not do the things you need to do to give you fulfilment? More and likely the answer will be fear based. The fear of being judged. The fear of not being good enough. Unless you reframe fear, and begin to use it help you, it will be hard to achieve what you want. Use the New Year as a deadline for a change. It is good for that.
There is not much to it. When you say you are going to do something, you do it. Follow through is rare. Talk is common.
