You Have Everything You Need To Get What You Want

Do you know what’s keeping you from your goals?

Is it some…thing you don’t have enough of?

Some shortfall of:

  • Money
  • Talent
  • Time

This stinkin’ thinkin’ AKA “Very good reasons”, keeps you stuck. It’s common. Even I fell into thinking this way.

The notion that you don’t have what you need to get what you want is a lie.

It’s not about what you don’t have, it’s about what you’re not using.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” — Edison

The greatest inventor of our time botched the lightbulb 10,000 times. Whatever your goal, have you made 10k unique attempts? Have you failed in gloriously different ways? Have you made so many tries, that you accidentally got close to success?

“What one man can do, another can do.” — The Edge

Folks forget success leaves clues. Before we put a rover on Mars, we put a man on the moon. Before we put a man on the moon, we put folks in space.

There is tons of experience for you to build on.

Chose to believe you haven’t cracked the code, yet.

You don’t need to solve or know everything.

You just need the next step.

When you focus on YOUR next step, you’re moving forward. Speed doesn’t matter. This is your program alone.

Setbacks and shortfalls are opportunities for upside.

No matter what you want, there are folks who’d kill to start where you are now.

Ultimately it comes down to consistent effort. Combine that with the mindset that there is no failure, you just haven’t figured it out, yet. But you can.

And you will.
