You have two voices in your head; one of them is steering you in the right direction, one of them is steering you in the wrong direction. But you already knew this. Every time you are out at a restaurant you think: "Man I should really order the salad and a water" but some how you end up with the 32oz ribeye and a beer.
What is going on there? Why is it that one individual can seemingly be pulled in two opposite directions? This universally human phenomenon has been portrayed across society in everything from cartoons (think devil and angel on the shoulders) to psychological magazines and medical documentation.
I don't know what is going on there, but I do know this...
- One of those voices wants you to be comfortable, to avoid fear, avoid pain, overindulge, and take the easy road until the day you die. Basically be mediocre at best.
- The other voice knows that being an entrepreneur takes work, that facing your fears is what leads to the freedom you want, and that this might be a little painful.
So here is what you need to do, wage war on the voice in your head that YOU KNOW you need to be avoiding, and become an ally with the "right" voice. This is relatively easy over time, but not at first. Any time the "right" voice comes up with a plan such as go to the gym, order the salad, or make 5 cold calls, guess what? You are going to act right then and there, or you will 100% commit that you will act the next chance you get... And I don't mean some time next week, I mean some point within the next 24 hours.
If you are serious about waging war on the "wrong" voice, and actually making something of your life, you need to commit RIGHT NOW and go act RIGHT NOW. Tell the "wrong" voice in your head that you are fed up and this is it, then go do something, anything that isn't considered taking the easy way out. Every time you have an idea and the "wrong" voice says "well now hold on let's not be crazy", do literally the exact opposite to reinforce that you are fed up with the way you have been living.
With that being said, until next time, I am off to the gym to run a mile... actually make it 2, that's the "wrong" voice in my head trying to make it easy.
