The mistake most of us have is wanting to do something instead of actually doing it. We want to know the in’s and out’s of what we are getting ourselves into other than executing on it. We’ll be left entertaining the thought in our heads for years but never taking action because of fearing the unknown

Just Dive In

• Let go of the irrational belief of figuring everything out before you start. You can’t figure out all the questions until you just start.• Focus on step one and then jump to the next depending on the progress you have made. This reduces the levels of anxiety and stress which lead to burn out, confusion and cause us to give up before we even start.

Focus Only On The Task At Hand

• You want to start a business? Act on it right now, today.• You want to become a content creator? Send out that post today.• You want to start tomorrow? What’s the first thing you’ll do tomorrow in-order to get it done? Do it today.

Act Right Now

• Wrong❌ : Learn, then start.• Right✅ : Start, then learn.• You cannot learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book on how to do it rather you learn to ride a bicycle by doing it consistently• Linear growth and development isn’t the only way the achieve your goals.

Clarity Comes Through Engagement 

All through life, we’ve been taught consciously and subconsciously that in order to learn something we have to know everything about it when that’s not always the case. Andrew Kirby hits the nail on the head in this linked video.

Start, then learn. Don't learn, then start.

It is in the moment that you face your deepest weakness that you receive the chance to forge your greatest strengths.

• When making a choice, always choose the one that pushes you the most, increases your growth and promotes the unfolding of your gifts, talents and personal powers. • We experience growing pains because it is a challenge to grow. If it wasn’t hard initially, it wouldn’t be a real and valuable change.• It’s your decisions that make your results. With better daily awareness, you can make better daily choices and with better daily choices you’ll start seeing better daily results.

The Primary Purpose Of Life Is Growth

• When we first wake up, our battery of self-control is full. That’s why it’s important for us to build habits or do activities that are most important during this time, when our capacity is the strongest.• As we go about our day, our ability to self-regulate decreases and so does the capacity to handle temptations and manage weak impulses.• Habit making takes a minimum of 66 days and is made up of 3 stages:I) Stage I: Destruction (22 days)II) Stage 2: Installation (22days)III) Stage 3: Implementation (22days)
