Wrapping up this transitional week, direct your attention to the last line of yesterday’s message.:
Great outcomes won’t create themselves. We must earn them.
We must develop the ability and willingness to control ourselves to do that.
Producing excellent outcomes anywhere you want them depends on your ability and willingness. Ability is your talent, knowledge, skill, and capacity. Willingness is the force you apply to do what is in your ability.
Let the simple truth of that paragraph sink in. Go beyond the words. Can you feel that truth around you in the atmosphere? Can you feel it in your bones? How internally aligned are you with the truth of that reality?
You must always solve for ability and willingness. Solving ability does not solve willingness, but solving willingness will solve ability.
If you are willing, there are not many abilities you cannot develop besides those denied by nature.
ONE FINAL THOUGHT:
5 Life-Altering Tests of Your Willingness
- Are you willing to work for an entire year before you begin to see the real benefits of your effort? What about 10 years?
- Are you willing to live your values / standards when doing so is personally painful and unpopular?
- Are you willing to step forward when uncertainty is high?
- Are you willing to exchange a lower value thing you enjoy for a higher value thing that is more fulfilling?
- Are you willing to be transparently honest with yourself about yourself?
