READ THIS IN YOUR MIND WITH A VOICE AS IF YOU ARE SCREAMING AT YOURSELF. LOUDER EACH TIME A SENTENCE HAS “YOU”. BECOME ANGRY AT YOURSELF.
Imagine you are in this dark tunnel with water rising from underneath. You look around and you see nothing. Would you sit and wait for an opportunity to come by so that you can escape? YOU know if you don’t act now, that water will get to you and you will drown. YOU decide to move. YOU hold on to whatever you can, get up and move, you say to yourself, “today you will not drown”. YOU look around and see a small light in the far distance, so you start running towards it. Your hopes begin to rise. Your feeling of drowning goes away. You soon realize it’s an opening to escape, an opportunity for freedom. YOU might fall, YOU might trip but you know if you stay down, that water will drown you. Your fear of drowning pumps adrenalin into your body and your focus pushes you to get up and move, YOU run, you walk, you limp, you crawl, you do whatever it takes to move forward. YOU put your mind focused on it 100%. You do not know if there is anything worth once you get out, but you know there is definitely nothing worth staying back. Your brain pushes out all it has ever learned and seems forgotten. Skills that you thought were useless suddenly are put to use. YOU take this leap of faith, a belief in yourself. Away from the rising water, forward and upwards, towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, wake up today and think of a goal, any goal. Big, small, impactful, simple, lifesaving or life-changing. You might want to lose weight, start a business, up to your skills, buy a house, learn trading. Think of getting to that goal like getting to the opening in this tunnel of life where you are stuck inside. You see nothing around you and nothing distracts you. You have water of failure, misery, and disappointment filling up from the bottom, so YOU run, YOU run towards that goal. YOU will fall because you have no experience. YOU will trip and lose balance every time you run in the dark. YOU will get hurt because you do not know what you are stepping onto. YOU will bleed and it is painful. But you see no pain, YOU know none of it matters. What matters is YOU MOVE. What matters, is keeping yourself away from drowning. What matters, is reaching to that goal. Read more...
