2 Simple Tools To Get Yourself To Take Action
Last time, I talked about how important it is for us to take consistent actions to move us towards our goals and dreams, and how we're usually not taking consistent action. So I want to offer you a couple of simple tools that will make it much more likely that you will take the actions you need to in order to achieve your goals and dreams.
How To Get Yourself To Consistently Take Action
Action is the basic building block of success, the foundation. But we don't usually take consistent action, and often we even have trouble getting started in the first place. So it's crucial that we get leverage on ourselves to take the actions we need to to build our dreams. To get leverage on ourselves, one of the dynamics that we need to pay attention to as we're taking a new action is the process of acclimation.
One Step To Loving Relationships AND Achieving Music Goals
Since yesterday was Valentine's Day, I want to talk about love. I want to tell you about the most important thing you need in order to have loving relationships that work, and how this is also the key to achieving your goals in your music career.
How To Overcome Your Fear Of Failure
We've been conditioned that failure is bad. We don't take risks for fear of failure. We think that failure is final and it means the end of our dreams. If we try something and we don't get the result we want, we think it means something deeper about us, that we're inadequate or inferior in some way, that there's something wrong with us. This over-identification with failure can totally immobilise us.
The Mind-Blowing Plant That Can Help You Build Your Music Career
One of the biggest challenges you face when you're following your dream is it's hard to believe in and keep working towards building something you can't see. You can work for years on your dream with no visible signs of progress, and you can become discouraged and start to doubt yourself. The despair can be so overwhelming that you give up on your dream. So what do you do?
The Ultimate Superpower For Your Music Career Success
When we have dreams or goals and we want to go to the next level in our lives, there's almost always some discomfort involved because we have to take massive action. Many people avoid taking action because they don't know how to feel discomfort.
Is Your Intuition Keeping You Stuck?
A lot of the time we rely on our intuition. We do what “feels” right and we avoid doing things that don't feel right. We think if it feels right, it must be the right thing to do. But when it comes to achieving our goals, often the reason we get stuck and don't make progress is because we rely on our intuition.
Which Pain Would You Rather Have?
All human behaviour boils down to two fundamental motivations. We move towards something in order to gain pleasure, or we move away from something in order to avoid pain. If you've got a dream or goal that's important to you but you're not taking action to move yourself closer to that goal, which of those two motivations is driving you?
Are You Tiptoeing Your Way Through Life?
Recently I caught up with a dear friend. During our conversation, she mentioned a quote that I had never heard before. And when she said it, it was like she dropped a bomb. It really profoundly affected me. It comes from Earl Nightingale: “Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.”
How We Create Our Own Suffering & How To Avoid It
Pain and suffering are very powerful and can really derail our lives. It changes our behaviour towards the people around us. It changes the thoughts we have about ourselves. It's why people develop addictions. In extreme cases, it's why people commit suicide. We tend to think of pain and suffering as the same thing, but they're not. They're related, but there's a distinction. It's really important to understand this distinction because, when you do, you won't be shut down by negative situations in your life.
If It Makes You Uncomfortable, You Should Probably Do It
Abraham Maslow said, “In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” And the only place growth happens is at the edge of your comfort zone and slightly beyond it. Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life. Facing that discomfort requires courage. Courage is not the absence of fear; it's acting in the presence of it.
Are You Willing To Do Whatever It Takes?
So… you’ve got a big goal, a lifelong dream. You've got a burning desire to achieve this goal. Nothing would give you greater joy than to make this dream a reality. It's your life's purpose. But are you willing to do whatever it takes to make your dream come true, to achieve this goal? How dedicated and committed are you to getting these results? What are you willing to do to solve your challenges, to overcome your obstacles, to move forward?
Discomfort, Transformation & Achieving Your Goals
A lot of people never achieve their dreams because they haven't realised that they're going to have to go through a transformation and go to the edge of their comfort zone. And as they get closer to the edge of their comfort zone, they start experiencing discomfort. Because they're not prepared for that discomfort, they feel like something is going wrong. So rather than pressing on, they stop and retreat. They sabotage their progress because they don't like the discomfort.
