“The problem with smart people is they can come up with a good reason for not doing anything. They are smart enough to find the cracks, to foresee the challenges, and to talk themselves out of the idea. They are experts at justifying their lack of courage or lack of action with an intelligent excuse.
But there will always be reasons to not do something, and this is particularly true of anything worth doing. We value those moments in which we overcame challenge, not those in which we avoided it. Ultimately, action is a choice. The choice to emphasize the reasons for doing it despite the reasons you have for avoiding it.” -James Clear
Soon after you get really excited and lit up by an idea, you will inevitably find ways to talk yourself out of it.
Reality sets in. Obstacles surface. Naysayers reveal themselves. Life happens.
If it’s truly worth doing, then you must overcome this giant wave of resistance. And it’s a motherf-cker of a rogue wave.
Find ways to talk yourself back into it. Do so constantly. Guard this passion as if your life depends on it. It does.
