A routine of daily habits that have no value.
Saying yes to stuff you don’t care about.
A negative mindset.
A business you hate.
If you want to achieve big, audacious goals that make everyone sit back in their chairs – something that will change the world – you have to learn to give up more. Sounds counter-intuitive but it’s really not.
This is not about being a crybaby and giving up when things get a little tough. This is about doing less so you can achieve more. It’s about rejecting more and being okay to say, “Enough is enough, I’m giving up so I can win more.”
Giving up is really hard and it can make you look ridiculous. But how you look isn’t what matters.
On the contrary, you have to be honest with yourself and decide to give up a few things that no longer serve you. You have to get clear on what matters, so you can give up what is pointless, useless, not working and stealing your time. It’s the principle of “NECESSARY ENDINGS!”
And even though you may have some short-term pain, you will definitely get longer-term benefits. Those benefits will rise to the surface and show their face, so patience is needed.
I understand that no one knows your struggles quite like you do and that can be frustrating at times. Butcomplaining won’t help you make progress or have more time; giving up will. Giving up will get you back in the game.
We all have to sacrifice stuff we love and things we like doing to get the time we need to focus. And this may sound like a cliché, but unless you put in the work, do less and do a few things really well, you will always be scratching your head like a loser wondering why life is passing you by and you’re not feeling fulfilled.
You’ll be searching for motivation or external forces rather than understanding that it’s your fault that you didn’t give up “X” sooner.
At times giving up is perfectly OK.
It’s what you must do to LIVE THE LIFE YOU’RE DREAMING OF!
