Your best thinking and your hardest efforts and your greatest focus . . . got you HERE.
If you maxxed out at 100% of your entire being to get THIS, how will you possibly achieve anything beyond where you are right now. More of the same will make more of the same.
Trust God, of course.
But you need new input. New ideas. New energy.
Different inputs will create different outputs.
And books are one of the inputs that can make different outputs. They give new ideas. They can (if you let them) provide new morale.
This happened to me today. Up at 6 am for my #75Hard walk, I was doomlooping about business and I should just give up all my ideas and hunker down and give up until I get old and die. Yeah. Serious doomlooping.
Returning home, I grabbed a coffee and the book I’m reading (10 pages a day, every day). Traction, by Gino Wickman.
I’m back in the mindset saddle again. It’s like he sat beside me and said “Yeah, it’s daunting. You can do it. Here is what to do next, just this little thing.”
For $20 I can can turn my day around and have an optimistic, energetic day? And probably get the same jolt tomorrow?
As Bob used to say, “Yes, trust in God. But you must have human help.” I got human help today.
The power of routine. The power of talking to people. (Even if they are talking to you from a page).
