Do Hard Things: A 3-Step Process To Discovering Your Possibility
I spent a large chunk of my life pushing to make life easier.
I thought that happiness, success, and money made life more comfortable. If you have those things, shouldn’t life be easy? Aren’t there fewer problems in your world?
Life isn’t about making it easier.
Do Hard Things Unless You Don’t Want To Experience Growth.
If you look for the easier path, you won’t grow near as much.
Avoiding Hard Things and never challenging yourself will be a much easier life. However, less comfort equals less growth. If you pursue Hard Things, you’ll find fuel to develop and evolve with more strength, resilience, and maturing.
Here’s how you do Hard Things:
#1. Commit to potentially painful experiences.
You probably know what Hard Things are necessary for your life to experience the growth you seek. Have you committed to them?
- Identify the hard things that will elevate your life.
- Commit to them: sign up, put them on the calendar, plan/prepare to do it.
- Don’t look back.
#2. Allow yourself to grow through the discomfort.
You will experience discomfort, which will require you to go outside your comfort level.
It will suck. It will test your inner fortitude. You will have to listen to the voice that says, “Just quit. You don’t have to do this.”
#3. Grow your skill in ignoring the voice that says, ‘quit.’
If you don’t become skilled at ignoring this voice, proving it wrong, and using it as a good sign you’re moving in the right direction, you may never grow to your potential.
Allow your inner fortitude to help guide you towards real growth. Trust the capacity and strength that live inside you, even if you aren’t sure about it.
Put your head down and get good at Hard Things.
“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.” — Jim Rohn
