People look at my life and ask “wow, where do you find the time to do all that?” and exclaim that I must be Super Woman because they “could never do that”.
They could never work so hard
They could never get so much done in one day
They could never write so much, create so much, sell so much
They could never make so much
They could never get up so early
They could never ___________
And a lot of the time people will say that my life is chaos (mostly family and friends that think I’ve gone a bit crazy) and how can I do it? WHY do I do it? Don’t I just want to relax and work less?
Um, no thank you!
Instead, I embrace they chaos. I let it consume me. Because from the chaos comes the RESULTS. And I want the fucking results.
You get what I mean, right?
We are hungry for the results. We’d BLEED for the results. Would give our last breath for the results! Because the truth is, the chaos is what we want, as it allows us to truly live our life in flow, with ease and to the point where what we do doesn’t even feel like work at all.
Sometimes we get paid and we’re like “what? I get paid to do this?“, like it’s some big fucking joke and the guys from Candid Camera are gonna pop out and say “HA, FOOLED YOU! You need to go back to a 9-5 now, you definitely can’t make money doing only what you love!”. What a nightmare that would be.
But the good news is that we CAN make money, and make A LOT of it, doing only what we love. And that’s what we do, every single day!
It’s a beautiful thing when your days are filled doing the things you love.
You wake up every day, and you’re lucky enough to be in a time where you get to decide: “what do I want to do today?”. No, not “what do I HAVE to do today?”, but “what do I WANT to do today?”, and then you get to go ahead and do it. And the world won’t fall apart. And you won’t be a broke ass, living on the streets.
You get to make a decision about what you WANT to do, and then you get to go and do it, and make money doing it! Don’t you see just how fucking LUCKY you really are?
You can work anywhere in the world, doing any type of work you want, working any hours you want.
You have flexibility. You have choice. You have FREEDOM.
You have the best damn luxury in the world: You get to decide exactly how you live your life. There are millions of people around the world that don’t have that luxury. But you do. And you’re gonna let it go to waste? WHY?
Because you don’t know the next “step”?
Because you’re too scared?
Because you’d rather “play it safe” instead?
Get out of your own way!
Get out of the path you WANT to follow if you don’t plan to actually follow it.
Get out of the way of others who want it more than you do.
Everything that you desire –
Everything you wish for –
Everything you’ve been dreaming about for YEARS –
It really is meant for you. Everything. All of it. No matter how “far-fetched” it may seem. If you can dream it, you can have it. But only if you work for it.
I used to think that people who worked all the time were crazy, and that they must really hate their lives because of the fact that they always “had” to work.
It wasn’t until many years later that I realized they CHOSE to work so much, because to them, it didn’t feel like work. It was just LIFE. And OF COURSE they chose life!
I recently watched an interview with Mark Cuban (one of my favorite entrepreneurs ever), and he was asked how many hours a day he worked. “It’s not work”, was his reply, and it had me nodding my head in agreement.
Because that’s the thing –
If what you’re doing is something you need a break from, something that FEELS like work, you should stop doing it.
You can live a life full of passion and purpose, and you can make money doing what you truly love (WHATEVER that is). Everyone has the opportunity every day to do what they believe they were put on this earth to do. You were put on this earth to follow your dreams and to LIVE them!
What are your dreams?
What is your purpose?
What is your true calling?
Do what you want to do, follow your heart, and be intentional about how you’re spending your time.
You have an opportunity every single day to go after what you want. Millions of others don’t have that opportunity, but you do. Don’t waste it!
The people you admire and look up to, those that are a major source of inspiration? They don’t waste the opportunities that come their way. They take advantage of ALL of them, all of the time.
They wake up early
They set their intentions
They get clear and focused
They work on their mindset
They write & create & sell
They communicate and engage
They’re laser-focused on the end result –
And the end result is spending their days doing whatever they please, living their DREAM life, and doing only what they’re called to do.
They aren’t waititng for the “right” moment to take action. They’re CONSTANTLY taking action. All day long! They’re putting in the work (which doesn’t feel like work at all, mind you). They’re being who they are and getting paid to do what they love.
Truly, they ARE someone to look up to. They ARE someone to admire. But don’t think for a second that the reason they live the life that they do is because they’re special or are in some way better than you.
They just work harder. Plain and simple. They know what they want, they go after it, and they don’t stop until it’s theirs.
You have the same opportunities
You have the same amount of time
You have the same chance of “making it” as the next person
But the question is: Are you willing to do what it takes?
And let’s be clear that “doing what it takes” doesn’t mean doing a bunch of shit you hate, or working yourself to the bone on tedious crap.
“Doing what it takes” means –
Commiting to your dreams
Focusing on the end-result
Setting your day up for success
Spending your time on the stuff that matters
Giving it your all, 100% of the time
Take a look at where you’re slacking right now. Where you’re taking it easy instead of going full throttle. Where you’re flat out WASTING TIME.
Do you want to fix those things and be doing BETTER?
Do you want to accelerate your growth and your results?
Do you want to ENJOY your work instead of dreading and resenting it?
Make the decision. Commit to doing whatever it takes. Create the vision. Follow the fuck through. And then?
And then you sit back and enjoy the life you’ve created, all by simply allowing the chaos to consume you and doing the work you love.
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Take action now!
