YES!!
I was TOTALLY STUCK FOR EIGHT F*ckING MONTHS.
Here’s the long road summarized that got me out of it.
Short Version: My character had to change.
Long Version:
1. Multiple deep emo convos and arguments with people who offered me what I thought were my dreams. 4hr marathons of convos. Discussions that spun fantastical things. Realizing.. I wanted to make my own damn dreams come true.
2. Answering super personal questions about my why over and over again to a few entrepreneur friends who made it their mission to get inside my head.
3. Visualizing my ONE perfect goal so well I could taste it.
4. Realizing I was substituting the power rush I get when I connect with people instead of connecting to feelings of happiness about saving money, managing my time, and just being a badass entrepreneur who brings high amounts of level to every customer.
5. Reading Indistractible, The Obstacle is The Way, The War of Art, The One Thing, The Big Leap, and approximately fifteen other books about time, goals, or motivation.
6. Praying for God to remove a spirit of distraction.
7. Asking myself “What would happen if I continued to do nothing?”
8. Reading a Literature Classic called “The Water Babies” to my 9yr old and getting to the point in the story where the fairy tells about the Doasyoulikes turning into horrible things.. and realizing I do NOT want to be a person who has no strength of fortitude or self-control.
9. Realizing that I could continue to “feel” my feelings of blahness foreverrrrrrr OR I COULD JUST TELL MYSELF TO STFU AND GET TO WORK.
10. Downloading 2Doist so I could set weekly goals.
11. Downloading and learning YNAB so I could track my budgeting.
12. Dumping any extraneous relationships and reducing the amount of time I spend with those that are left.
And.. I’m making crazy progress now. I got through it, one day at a time.
The End.
My point? I dunno what the heck is gonna work for you man, but .. SOMETHING will. Just keep looking for yourself and shaving off the wonky edges of your character that are selfish, afraid, lazy, or sad. When you’re a better you.. you benefit the world. And the world needs you. Really.
