Some truths punch you in the gut when you least expect it.
You can spend years avoiding them. You can pretend they don't apply to you. You can hope someone else will handle them for you.
But you know that won’t work. Reality always wins. And when it does, you either learn the lesson or it will keep knocking you down until you do.
Here are five truths that will change your life—if you're brave enough to face them:
- You are 100% responsible for every one of your decisions and actions.
- Life rewards discipline, not desire.
- Strong desire and weak willingness is a disastrous combination.
- The excellence in you can't live until the average in you dies.
- The action you avoid now is still necessary later.
Read those again. Slower this time.
Feel the weight of each one. Notice which one makes you squirm. That's where you need to start.
These aren't motivational quotes to make you feel good. They're operating instructions to make you better. The people who accept these truths early get ahead fast. The people who ignore them, or worse—fight them, stay stuck.
It’s your move. Pick the truth that hit you hardest. Write it on a sticky note. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day for the next month. Let it sink in.
Let it change how you think. Let it change how you choose. Let it change how you respond.
Stop running from what you already know is true.
Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
