2020-03-21 Here’s Why You Give U

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably come up with — and subsequently given up on — far more goals than you’ve ever realized.

Your goals tend to be short-lived, and easy to forget.

Goals are conceived, executed, and abandoned through the following cycle:

1.A problem emerges in your consciousness.

2. Your discomfort gradually increases.

3. A trigger puts you into a state of peak discomfort.

4. You devise a plan of action to alleviate your discomfort.

5. Eventually, you return to your baseline of tolerable discomfort.

6. You turn to the poor habits that initially caused your problem to soothe your mild discomfort.

7. You become stuck.

8. A trigger puts you into a peak state of discomfort. The cycle repeats.

Here’s our first problem: We don’t know what we want.

Here’s our second problem: We don’t know how to get what we want.

In the end, achievement is about daily commitment and trusting the process — even (and especially) if you don’t see immediate results. That’s all it comes down to.

Achieving a new life isn’t easy. Being stuck isn’t, either. You get to choose your hard — and commit to it, for good.
