I must be honest, I’m starting to feel a little tired and my mind is starting to tell me to move towards pleasure. I have a decent first three days of the week and now my mind is telling me I can have a rest, and I can find some entertainment, short term gratification, and pleasure.
But that’s not the journey I’m on. I told myself I was going to commit to these goals for 180 days so that’s what I must do. All I have to do, is keep going through the discomfort that I’m currently feeling.
I don’t have to do anything superhuman or absurd, I just have to keep moving forward in pursuit of my goals, in spite of how I might feel in the moment.
It is interesting that I view three decent days as a success when it’s less than half of a week. There is still so much of the week left, and so many opportunities to grab, but I find myself starting to slack off because I believe I’ve done a good first half of the week and now I can relax a little bit.
3 days ago, I told myself this was going to be the most impactful 180 days of my life and I was going to do whatever I can to make these goals happen. Now that I’m confronted with a little bit of discomfort (which I said I wanted), suddenly I start getting pulled back to pleasure.
Well I’m not giving in and I’m not quitting. It is currently just after 8am and I’m going to work until 2pm fasted, and without distraction. This is going to be very difficult, but it will help break some of my old beliefs or habits of quitting something a few days into it.
The opportunities in front of me right now are massive and I can really get this business humming over the next 2-3 weeks if I make good decisions. Alternatively, I’ve got some massive debt payments coming up over the next few weeks so I could easily shrink and run out of money, and be up shit creek because I didn’t take enough action.
I know what I need to do, and the main one is to work in spite of how I feel, and get through to 2pm without distractions. If I can achieve that, my business will have grown because I would have got through some of the work sitting on my desk that has the potential to grow.
