Your Feelings Are Hurting Your Future
The most important skill you can develop is the ability to force yourself to do things you don’t want to do.
I struggle with this more than I’d like to admit.
There are so many things I know will help me grow like posting online, being involved in more sales training, putting myself out there, yet I still don’t do them sometimes.
Not because I don’t understand their value or that I don’t care.
I just don’t feel like it.
There are days I don’t want to post a blog at all. I don’t want to think.
And on those days, everything in me tries to justify skipping it.
“You can write tomorrow” “No one will notice.”
But I’ve learned the hard way where that leads.
One skipped day turns into two. Two turns into a week and so on.
How do I overcome this?
I force myself.
I sit down and write anyway.
And every time I do, something shifts.
Not externally but internally.
I build trust with myself. I prove that I can keep promises to myself. I remind myself that my growth doesn’t care about how I feel that day.
I’m still learning it. Still fighting myself most days.
But every time I force myself to do the thing I don’t want to do, I move a little closer to the person I’m trying to become.
