Before you take any great step or make any decision, you must deromanticise it.
What does it mean to deromanticise? It means to strip away the idealised notions, the fantasies, and the unrealistic expectations. It means to look at things as they truly are, without the rose-tinted glasses.
When you deromanticise a decision or a step, you'll see the challenges, the hard work, and the potential setbacks. You'll understand that nothing is solely sunshine and rainbows. This clarity will help you make more informed decisions and prepare you for the journey ahead.
Deromanticising doesn't mean losing the excitement or passion for your goals. Instead, it means being realistic, practical, and strategic. It means being prepared for the ups and downs and having a plan for when things get tough.
So, as you embark on new ventures, make big decisions, or take bold steps, remember to deromanticise them. Look at the reality, assess the challenges, and plan accordingly. You'll be more grounded, more focused, and more likely to achieve your goals.
Let's approach this new week with clarity, practicality, and determination. Let's deromanticise our goals and make progress with our eyes wide open.
You know I love you ๐
