172 - Effort Matters

This is the final episode of the Daily Motivations Podcast. 

Your job isn't to be right, it's to get it right.

How are you spending your downtime? Do you feel the need to escape or zone out? What if you used that time to create a reality you don't need to escape from?

The value of your plan doesn't come from it's accuracy. The value of your plan exists only in it's ability to encourage you to ACT. We learn from doing. Planning can prevent progress.

What if instead of seeing a choice or situation as “hard” you started calling it “helpful’? What if instead of focusing on the difficulty of a choice or situation, you decided to see it as a chance to build confidence or make progress? What if you completely reframed the idea of hard and only referred to difficulties as opportunities to grow?

"Most geniuses – especially those who lead others – prosper not by deconstructing intricate complexities but by exploiting unrecognized simplicities"

"no matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment"

Hit your fears harder than they hit you.

I have suffered enough. I have created a backlog of excuses, exceptions & justifications that confined me to a life of fear, hiding, depression and negativity. I’ve left that behind. There are no more excuses, exceptions & justifications. I refuse everything that doesn’t actively support my happiest, fullest and most joyful life.

Focus on the magic in your life and you'll immediately find more of it!
