How To Find The Time To Prepare For Your Dream While Working A 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5
I am all too familiar with deadlines and time crunches that have a tendency to raise your blood pressure and keep you feeling like you are under the gun. And, by the close of the day, you are too tired to want to do anything but rest your brain and your feet.
Starting again is not always easy, especially when you have lost the motivation and desire to pursue or to finish what you started. Oftentimes, in order to get going again, consideration needs to be given to what may be draining you of your drive. Imagine how nice it would be that when you are at a standstill, all you have to do is push a reset button. If it were that easy, everyone would do it. When you are at the point of inactivity because you lack the motivation or inspiration to muster the kind of drive and/or creativity to push yourself beyond the mundane, what is actually needed is not something from without, but rather something from within.
Athletes often run into challenges when it comes to starting again after playing back-to-back games or losing a playoff or championship game. People who fail to achieve their ideal weight loss goal after dieting feel defeated. A smoker who’s seemingly tried everything to kick the habit of nicotine addiction feels that trying to stop smoking is like fighting a losing battle with no hope of kicking their habit. However, how do business people find the motivation to get back up or reconvene business after a major upset?
Regardless of your struggle, the principle is the same for getting up and getting back in the game. How you came to stop in your pursuit of developing your dream business is not as important as what you do to reconvene. To discover the secret to remedy this lackadaisical melancholy, one must search deep within the crevasses of their heart and rediscover the ‘why’ to the reason for starting in the first place. Three things must be given careful consideration:
- What is the single most important thing for you?
- What is the prize possession you hope to receive once your task is completed?
- Is it worth all to achieve your goal?
The answer to these questions must come from a deep place in your heart. And, after the careful consideration and understanding of the ‘why’, your heart will burst into a thousand suns and nothing will keep you from achieving peak performance. You will want nothing more than to accomplish your goal because the reason is more valuable than the goal itself. A man that has nothing to fight for will have no reason to fight.
