We’ve been told for ages that “temptation” is a dirty word.
Temptation is “bad”.
A sin.
Something only “evil” people give in to.
But when you think about it, isn’t that ridiculous? Answer: YES.
Temptation is what drives you.
It’s what forces you to do what needs to be done to get what you want.
It’s EXACTLY what you need to give in to way MORE, don’t you think?
Avoiding giving in to your temptation keeps you playing small.
It keeps you playing at the same level over and over, and never allows you to grow.
Temptation FUELS you to go after what you want.
Temptation is one of those feelings that you truly feel deep in your gut. Pushing you. Guiding you. Leading you down the path that you’re too scared to admit you even want to travel on.
Temptation will take you there.
Temptation will take you to the deepest, darkest parts of your desires and get all up in your face with a –
“Show me that you really fucking want this!”
You’ll need to pay your dues.
You’ll need to do some scary shit.
You’ll need to PROVE that you really do want what you say you do.
Temptation is what you need more of in your life because it forces you to do what’s necessary.
Give in to the temptation.
Give in to the temptation.
Give in to the temptation!
How many times have you said you were gonna do something and then never did it.
You may or may not have tried to make it happen, but nonetheless, you didn’t do it.
Because you feared the temptation to do it and so you sabbotaged yourself and got in the way of it happening.
You could gave been scared to do it, too “nervous”, unsure, embarassed, whatever –
But even though you DESIRED it, even though you really, REALLY wanted it, the temptation scared . you away.
Give IN to the temptation. It’s there for a reason. It will guide you and take you where you need to go.
Temptation will bring you more joy in life. Give in to it at every opportunity.
And just to be clear –
Temptation is when you want to be, do or have something that you think is impossible to achieve or even WRONG of you to want!
Which is why so many people ignore their temptations and istead settle for less than what they truly desire.
So the question is –
What do you really want?
What are your big temptations?
I know for me, my temptations are plenty and they show up daily, in a big way, and I never reject them. Instead I take action immediately!
I want business class travel, always.
I want an in-person assistant I love.
I want my own animal sanctuary.
I want private schooling for my kids.
I want to make millions of dollars every year.
I want ONLY soulmate clients.
I want regular spa days.
I want a personal, in-person trainer.
I want to be a top donor for my favorite charities.
I want a private chef.
I want a home on the water.
I want to have regular retreats with my incredible clients.
I want to own a top VIP nightclub.
I want multiple investment properties.
I want to hire my parents full time.
What do YOU want?
Get clear.
Get detailed.
Get honest with yourself.
And then –
Give in to the temptation.
Take action immediately.
Research your dream home.
Reach out to that potential client.
Invest in that mentor.
Create that program.
Schedule those self-care days.
Take at least one step every day toward your desires. Just one step is giving into the temptation, which prevents you from sabbotaging yourself, so long as you keep going with it.
Avoid the crash and burn by giving into your temptations. Fuel the fire, let yourself truly go for what you want.
You’ve got one life.
Live it FULLY.
Don’t be a sheep, following the others around in their mediocrity fog.
You and I?
We’re SO different from them.
To us? Mediocrity is the biggest sin of all.
Why be mediocre when you can be incredible?
You don’t stand for mediocrity in others, yet you allow yourself to sabbotage yourself this way.
Maybe your temptations seem to be “too much”.
Maybe you’re feeling guilty for wanting all that you do.
Maybe the sheep are telling you to “be happy with what you have” instead of always demanding more.
But those are all bullshit excuses.
In fact, any excuse for not giving into your temptation is a bullshit excuse.
You must give in.
You must let go of the resistance.
You must free-fall into the unknown.
Giving yourself what you desire is the biggest gift you can give yourself and one that is worthy of your attention.
Your dreams matter.
You matter.
And only when you accept that, and act like you give a damn about yourself, will you be able to truly serve and lead your community.
Temptations are everywhere.
I dare you to give in.
PROVE that you really want this.
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Take action now!
