Wake Up!!!

If you want to change yourself, to improve your life, you have got to wake up. Stop sleeping. Stop wasting your time. If not, nothing is going to change.

In his book Wise as Fu*k: Simple Truths to Guide You Through the Sh*tstorms of Life, Gary John Bishop writes, ‘Wake yourself up to what’s important, to what actually matters in this life. Set aside your fears and failures, stop obsessing over gaining success or avoiding pain, and finally show up as the kind of human being you have always wanted to be. Not only to make a difference but to be that difference so that all people are impacted.’

If you think you have not been doing enough, it is never too late. Now is the time to challenge yourself, to give yourself a new plan, a new map, a new assignment. Now is the time to step up, to wake up, and to show up. Don’t give in to fear. And do not let your past failures and mistakes stand between you and your life, your success.

Remember, ‘Success breeds success.’ If you want to be successful, you must show up.

Focus On Where You Are Going

Comfort is the enemy of growth. Comfort is the enemy of success. And comfort is the root of failure.

If you want to succeed, focus on the journey. Focus on what you are doing. Focus on what you are learning. But if you want to fail, focus on where you are. Focus on what other people are doing. Focus on failure. Focus on what is going to happen to your dreams.

Don’t focus on problems. Focus on solutions. Don’t focus on failures. Because they will happen. There is nothing you are going to do about that. Because they are part of the game.

If you are afraid of failure, then you are not ready for success. Because you can’t succeed without failures, without mistakes.

When it comes success, if you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough. Fail. Do not worry about it. The most important thing is where you are going, your journey.

Do not rest. Keep going. Rest when you are done, not when you are not done.

Is it going to be easy, no. But you can make it. You do that by focusing on the journey, not the end. By focusing on your growth, not your pain. By focusing on the process, not the outcome. The more you focus on where you are going, the better.

Because life is a journey.
