For two weeks, I have been talking about a mindset that allows us to take massive action in our lives. Today I want to spend a few moments pondering the primary reason that many of us have not taken massive action in our lives. If you subscribe to the feed by e-mail or RSS, you can discover some ways to overcome the reason for not taking action in forthcoming posts.
What is Your Reason?
When most people talk about the reason they have for not taking massive action in their lives, what reason is the first that is verbalized?
“I don’t have time,” is what I hear out of most people’s mouths.
Is that the one you use?
Many of us often complain that we don’t have time to read, write, exercise, study for a new career, or start our own coaching business. We claim that our jobs take away our time, we are busy with our children, or the demands of our home lives does not give us the time we need to peruse activities that move us forward in life.
Complaining About Not Having Enough Time is Crap
Everyone has the same twenty-four hours in a day to get done what they want to get done, so why aren’t you getting done what you dream of getting done? (Don’t worry, I am not going to tell you that you are lazy.)
Time is an Excuse
While there are some people that waste thousands of hours a year on needless activities, it is not time that most of us lack, it is not vision, and it is not determination. Most people lack energy.
Energy is the Key to Success
It is having the energy to get everything that you want to get done that will help you determine your success in life. When you think about the end of most of your days, think about what you are really saying to yourself. Is it really that you do not have enough time left in the day or have you just run out of energy and feel like you are going to collapse?
For me, it is energy. I cannot begin to imagine how many times I have wanted to write, read, or exercise and have given up because of how fatigued I felt in that moment. Just right now, as I write this post, I have had to get up three times to clear my head because I have felt too drained to finish my thoughts. I am exhausted, but because I want to help you my readers, I push on.
So what can we do to create more energy so that we can have the mindset needed to take the action we need to make changes in our lives?
Subscribe to the feed by e-mail or RSS and we can talk more about that tomorrow.
Until then, leave me a comment and let me know if you really don’t have the time or if you don’t have energy.
