DON'T WAIT FOR LIFE TO KICK YOU IN THE TEETH...
Hey brrr
Before you do anything about your life.
Before you do anything you know you NEED to do.
The majority of people are waiting for something tragic to push them to do the sh!t that needs to be done.
They hope (subconsciously) for some form of tragedy to occur like the death of a loved one, getting fired from work, or hoping someone comes to beat the shit out of them.
But why...?
They believe that what they need to do is very difficult.
They believe that the only way to accomplish their goal is through motivation, which is why their situation has to be so painful in order for them to handle it.
You might notice this in terminally ill people.
They don't have a sense of urgency in their lives, so they procrastinate until later.
Then they discover they have six months to a year to live and suddenly...
Everything changes for them.
That was the “kick-in-the-teeth” moment they needed to start acting urgently.
Then you notice that they start to live life.
But I want to tell you not to wait cause you don't know the way life will kick you in the teeth.
Picture yourself 20 years from now with nothing to your name and wasting your life without any sense of accomplishment.
Now you get the picture cause that should be your kick in the teeth.
If you can, put yourself in situations where you know there are real risks if you don't do what must be done.
For me, it was watching a friend of mine get shot.
That moment changed everything for me.
For you, it could be leaving college or quitting your job (I don't recommend either except if you really want to)
It could also be leaving home and going solo or even taking an investment risk.
So don't wait:
- Don’t wait to ask that girl out.
- Don’t wait to start that business.
- Don’t wait to better yourself.
- Don’t wait to get your bag.
Don't hide in comfort and excuses, take that leap of faith trusting that you can handle it.
Best,
-MOS
