Hello fastlaners. Today I have come to a realization that I wanted to share with you, so that if any of you are in the same situation and can't figure out the why, I saved you from some trouble I believe.
There is this thing in me, and I believe anybody else's too, that always wants us to get better. It's the tiny little regret when you are doing something you shouldn't do, such as:
- Watching TV Shows when you know you have something to get done
- Eating more (or less if you are skinny like me) when you shouldn't
- Sleeping in
- Wasting time when you know you should go to GYM
- Millions of other things that you know already
For myself, I want to get ripped, be rich, and thinking realistically: going to the GYM and working on a new business (from idea to execution). But you know what? I JUST DON'T. I didn't know the why until now: I don't need them. My father is paying for everything and I will probably be well-off because my father suffered for all of us when he was young. Sure I could have more but not having a car doesn't kill you right?
So, here is the thing (this is for me and you):
- You don't work on your side project or business idea because you don't need it. Want vs. Need. It's that simple.
-You can't think of business ideas or can't bump into opportunities because you aren't looking for them.
When you hit the rock bottom, your mind, body, spirit, faith whatever you have and everything you have comes together to survive. It's the survival mode that got my father where he is today, it's the same for MJ and for many others. And I really don't know a way to get into this Survival mode but I want to (again, not NEED).
Like this, my fellow wannabe fastlaner, if we want to do this, we have to NEED this and get ourselves into the survival mode. That is the only way I assume.
