Anytime you begin a new journey, dopamine floods your brain which drives you into action.
It’s not hard to change your behavior when the anticipated reward outweighs the perceived cost.
Starting isn’t the issue. Continuing when it gets tough is. It’s natural to be motivated to start. It’s unnatural to stay — to keep going when it’s tough.
Be unnatural.
Remember WHY you started when you’re tempted to quit and surround yourself with people who won’t let you.
Sadly, most people don’t have enough stubborn stamina to stick to what they said they would do. Don’t be ‘most people.’
Achieving your vision and maintaining your mission require undying commitment, sacrifice, patience, and persistence. All of those are indispensable traits for breaking through the roadblocks you will inevitably encounter. In a word, you must be committed.
The best definition of commitment I’ve ever seen is “staying loyal to what you said you would do, long after the mood you originally said it in has passed.”
Stop saying, ‘I’ll try.’ Start saying, ‘I’ll do’. Words matter. Try is a weak word. Trying isn’t good enough. People who say they’ll try rarely survive. They stop as soon as they start to struggle.
Triers are losers. Winners are doers! Be a doer not a trier!
