As humans, we all stay busy, keeping a lot on our plate. Staying focused can be tough with a constant stream of jobs, school, and parents, all demanding your attention. As a result it is difficult to stick with our goal long enough to achieve them. We all start with good intentions because anyone can work hard when they feel motivated. The problem occurs when we get caught up in life and lose focus.
I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people have some unstoppable passion and willpower that they seem to be missing. But it is not that at all, the difference is that the people who stick with their goals don’t let their emotions determine their actions. They push past the boredom and to embrace the daily practice that is required to achieve their goal.
People often think their goals are all about the result. We see success as an event that can be achieved and completed. When in reality if you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you will realize that it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It’s their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice, not the individual event of “success”.
For example, women think that if lose 15 pounds then they will be in shape. But in reality you have change your lifestyle to eating healthy and exercising daily.
If you want to become significantly better at anything, you have to fall in love with the process of doing it. You have to fall in love with becoming the type of person who does the work, rather than just dreaming about the results that you want.
In other words…Fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.
