Have you ever wanted something so bad you just wish there was an easy way to get? Why does there always seem to be a "price" to pay? Taking the easy way out is rarely the best option. Although some people adopt that mindset and actually believe it will suit them long-term.
Taking the easy way out today almost always leads to a hard life later. Successful-minded people know to do whatever it takes today in order to achieve a better life later. The easy way out is typically a path fraught with obstacles, delay, and regret that disguises itself as a shiny object of immediate gratification. But what if we changed that mindset ever so slightly to think of it in terms that what first appears to be difficult is actually the easy way, or at least the better way?
Sacrifice now to enjoy life later. What’s the risk? Well, the only risk is that you die trying. But you already know that, while you may sometimes feel like dying, your sacrifice is rarely, if ever, a life-or-death dilemma. In fact, things only seem difficult right now. They only seem hard. But I can assure you, while you are willing to do a difficult task today for a better, brighter tomorrow, most everyone else will appear as if they have it much better than you…today. Check back with these same people in five or ten years (yes, you must sacrifice for a time) and you will discover they are the ones with a difficult life. They are the ones who are stuck in the same job trying to put on the same show. They are the ones with little to no savings, still spending "as if" they have it all. The tides of change are always in motion. And to those who are willing to learn to navigate those tides, they will be ones to whom everyone will eventually look to for guidance.
So, if you’re looking for an edge that will give you the leverage it takes to achieve your goals, then there are three things you must know before you can turn things around. Consider adopting these easy choices and you'll be on your way to achieving anything you desire.
1. Establish a clear and compelling reason why.
The old adage “Where there is a will, there is a way” applies here. No, I’m not talking about willpower. I’m talking about WHY power! Willpower gets you started. Discipline and determination keep you going. You won’t always be motivated. Discipline is the secret sauce that carries you through when inspiration and motivation subsides. Determination compels you to find a way through inevitable obstacles. Discipline and determination both rest upon your compelling reason WHY. Develop a compelling WHY and nothing can stop you.
2. Establish a clear path (goal).
Your WHY drives the need for you to achieve. But, a compelling reason alone is not enough. You need a plan. You need a GOAL. A goal is your declaration of a desired outcome. Goals offer a pathway to a better life through the influential emotion of hope. And hope is one of the strongest emotions we have that drives the determination, fortitude, and tenacity required to accomplish the aspirations we have for a better life.
3. Establish a crystal clear vision of the results.
A clear vision or image of your desired results paints a compelling picture that connects with the power of your imagination. One of the most amazing traits we have as humans is an innate desire to aspire to or dream of a better life. We have abilities to conceive, visualize, and dwell upon the limitless possibilities that are available to us to ignite the forces of change. It’s what drives us to improve, adapt, and survive. Tap into this power for a change you can count on. You can absolutely do this!
You have a choice.
The choice is yours. You can suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment. Sacrifice is the watchword. You will sacrifice either way you slice it. On one hand, your sacrifice will shape you, train you, change you, and prepare you for a better life through discipline. On the other hand, your sacrifice will be one you will be stuck with (later) unless or until you decide to change it. But most won’t because a predominant emotion of regret and disappointment will pervade. Don’t let that be you. I say it all the time - things are never what they first appear to be. What initially appears to be a tough road filled with tough choices eventually reveals itself as the right road - one leading to the fruits of your labor and the achievement of your dreams and goals.
Want to know how to tap into the power of true wealth? Drop me a line and let's talk about it. If you're ready to make small sacrifices today, I can show you how this is truly the easier way of doing things.
Until next time…
