The Only Right Way

The Only Right Way, Is the Way That Helps You Make The Change You Seek – Seth Godin.

It’s overwhelming…

Entering a new game, Trying something new, Making a change

We try and take shortcuts and fast lanes, We google and youtube the best way to this, the fastest way to get ‘…’ how to hack the new algorithm…

These searches and shortcuts normally from experience leave us more overwhelmed, confused and a couple of hours with nothing done but browsing…

The right way is doing, doing what actually reaches your audience, gets you the result you want and over time you see the change you are seeking,

There is no search for that,

It’s trial and error.

Do the work, not the browsing

You Need To Take Off First

The purpose and role of the pilot and the avionics is to continually bring the plane back on course so that it arrives on schedule at its destination – Brian Tracy

The plane is off course 99% of the time…

That’s a lot right, but it always lands at its scheduled destination…

When you embark on a new quest, don’t expect it to be easy and plane sailing…

Like the plane you will be off course alot, you will need to make corrections,go through turbulence, maybe even reroute…

But if you want to arrive at your goal destination…

You need to take off first

It’s not ‘meant to be’ – Its meant to be done

It’s not meant to be – Its meant to be done – Jade Teta.

If it’s meant to be its meant to be – (I hate writing this post because my Nan always said that saying)

But,

If you’re sat around waiting for the stars to align waiting for something to happen then you need to get up, stop star gazing and go and do the work.

The work, The work is meant to be done.

Once the work is done then the work needs to be put out there…

And once that has happened then it might be.

You might fail, But if you did the work then you will have learnt some valuable lessons, you can course correct and try again…

That is how we learn and grow, and that’s how we make our stars align…

Not by waiting, By doing.

The Little Things Add Up

The Little Things Add Up – Ryan Holiday

When we go about change, we normally make these big dramatic changes, They never normally last, Then we’re back to where we started…

But it’s the little things that can make a huge difference over time…

They don’t seem like much, getting up an hour earlier, reading or writing one page a day, walking for 30 minutes every day…

What are you looking to do or change, What small thing can you do daily that will make a huge difference over time?

Obviously the same is true in reverse the small negatives add up too.

Choose Your Ancestors…

“We were kids without fathers, so we found our fathers on wax and on the streets and in history, and in a way, that was a gift. We got to pick and choose the ancestors who would inspire the world we were going to make for ourselves.”
― Jay-Z

‘We got to pick and choose our ancestors…’

We can’t choose our family, but we can choose our inspiration,

We choose the people we look up to, the information we feed ourselves, the books we read, the movies we watch…

In the Book Steal Like An Artist – Austin talks about the concept of choosing your Ancestors.

You take your inspiration and find who inspired them, then you find your inspirations inspiration and repeat the process, eventually, you have a family tree of inspiration, whose work you study, imitate and create new ideas…

Create your own family tree, Create your own world, Create Yourself
