…because when your world class mindset grows, it makes you grow with it.
Everybody has got a routine that they are used to - you get to do things routinely, even if you don’t enjoy them because it’s a much bigger thing to want things than to enjoy them. Procrastinate or make a bad call… it’s all the same in that regard. Don’t accept this too easily - fight the acceptance in vain and do it thoroughly. That’s how you have a break through this week, next week or even in a year.
It’s one of those insights that are going to change your trajectory: You want things much more than you enjoy things. What sucks about it is that you’ll stop asking pointless questions about why you do what you do and do more important things instead. It might even lead to peace of mind… And more importantly: You may find yourself pursuing your goals more easily, especially in the morning. The really bad news is that you may look back at this day with a frown that you realized that you’re in control of what you want because
you’re in control of your own mind if you stop fighting the resistance (That’s right… deep breath!) and it’ll be clear that the success that you probably hadn’t mapped out this way but that was
right for you started right here right now because you simply learned easy things in a new way: One plus one equals two and your mind is good, and probably getting better, at wanting what it wants.
It may even be much better at it than you are… How can you tell? Because you do what you want, and I bet that over the years you’ve done more of it rather than less, even when it sucked at times. This is true for gambling addicts and even for heroin users that
the real kick is the realization that you’re about to get what you want. You may as well stop arguing with it but you don’t have to. Why the frown? Because there’s that stupid question again that turns into a whine the more you ask it: If it was this easy, why didn’t I do it earlier? You can keep asking pointless questions and the more you ask them the more distracted you become from what matters:
“Why do I want this, I don’t even enjoy it?” “Why do I do that, it’s not even much fun?” Which is good because then you can look back at your life and it’s all grey in the sense that you never stopped asking stupid questions (Be reliable in that way?). Just joking, of course that's not good at all. So, and this is best said in a whisper, stop second guessing your habits and instead focus on what you can do about beginning to see yourself in a new light: You may find that you look great when you learn to accept that kind of
focus that’s always there in going after what you want, even when it may not serve you. You’re in charge of your mind, after all. There’s real freedom in that and freedom is what allows you to imagine things, to be creative and even to be playful:
What new things could you try today? There’s real sense in that even if you don’t quite put together the pieces yet. That’s when patience may help but whether it’s the kind of patience that feels like patience or the kind that feels like you’re just accepting your impatience… nobody is going to know but you, and you never have to tell anybody anyway. You know that moment when you learned something new and you can breathe more easily? Have one of those now. What’s stopping you?
12 more hours of poker, I'll update the results next week. Was a crap week though.
Have a good weekend and stay humble!
