Hello, my people,
hello my family. I want to talk about something a really serious thing. This thing is... drumbeat... To Take ACTION!
Today I was wondering , why there are so many times when we have brilliant ideas, feeling that idea would be such a huge contribution for the Earth, to people or just to ourselves, and at the end, nothing happens. I mean really, there are so many things we do not do but we really want to. Learn a new language, learn to play on an instrument, or just to spend more time with our loved ones. We are the masters of procrastination. This is our pray every day to the universe " I will do tomorrow".
I read a great joke about a farmer who was close to his death. The Angel of the Death itself arrived to the house and wanted to take his soul to the afterlife. The man said " Oh dear Death, you came so early, I have still so many things to do, say goodbye to my family, leave my testament and blablabla" The Death was in a good mood, so he said " Okay mate, no worries, I will come back tomorrow" and they shook hands. After this meeting our man put a sign on the top of the door which said: "TOMORROW" . He made it, he ate a good supper and went to the bed. Next day, the Death came to take his soul once and for all. When arrived, he was claiming for the man soul by rights. Our man just smilled and pointed to the sign. TOMOROW.
HaHa I am so funny, but besides that what was the moral of the tale? The lesson is our prince on the white horse is the TOMORROW. Our dreams the DEATH and our mind is the man. Always pointing to that fucking sign. TOMORROW.
There is always something to come in, when we sit down to do what we need to do. Call a friend, go to shopping, our just watch all the funny dog videos on youtube. I have been in that stage and you are as well. No doubt.
So when I was thinking of this, I get start to blame everything. It is because of the society, of the weather , becasue of netflix and because of (Long bullshiting) . Even after I chilled down, and I realized these thing are not true at all, see crystal clearly this postponing is on me, nothing happened. I just sat on that big dark cave as Gollum and sining to myself,
I started to blaming myself, and says things like " You don't have enough willpower, you are weak, etc" . Was a pretty lovely afternoon. After a while that day, I got start to ask around this topic " What does it take to take action everytime every second?". I did not know the answer, but I felt I have to look around. I found an amazing idea on the internet, which says you have to make a habit to take action.
Take action is a muscle. You have to practice and you will be better day by day. BOOOMM. Enlightment! I mean how many times you were putting yourself in jail saying you do not have enough willpower to finish anything you started? How many times and how much energy you are putting to maintain the jail, the fence around your viewpoints about you are not strong enough? Of course you are! Becasue you have never been at the ACTION GYM!!!
We have to hit those biceps, because, you're muscles look like you're from kindergarden... Okay so when you are going to the gym and you have not been in there a while, what are you doing?
There are two option. First: Absolutely Overtraining. You are in pain, before, druing ,and after. You feel sick and you just wanna quit. The weights are too heavy, but you have to show to everyone who has got the biggest dick. And man you have the biggest one, that is for sure. But that is all. You are in the bed for a week, and you killed your interest for the gym for a half year. After that? Repeat. This is the same when you take action, you try to do all the important deadlines in once, study for all the exams in one day, and go out to party and ask out that girl or guy, but you do not have any much confidence in taking action.
You feel overwhelmed, feel paniced, and believe me, you are not that only one, who feel like that. Your enviroment, the Universe and every little atoms surrounding you. So after that day even if you feel you were brave, and you said to the Boss, you want that payrise, you feel a little bit heavy.. and this is true.
The weights were to heavy, but your (ego) was the biggest. Your brain in agonia, because its primary job to keep you in safe. He shut down all the systems, and promising to the inner self , never ever do something like that again. So you wake up tomorrow, and what are you doing? Nothing. Go back to the same old shit habbits, eating badly even you promised to yourself you will be in shape, watching netflix, and listening to your brain who is whispering" You deserve it, you were so brave yesterday, you have to rest a little. We can be productive..TOMORROW".
That was the first option in the action gym, and honestly does not sound too promising.
Second option: Go to the action gym, and do just a little triceps. You always wanted big triceps so you are only focusing to that one, and just a little. Couple of sets, little sweat, no rushing. You are not even feel you are tired after all. You feel good, go to home get the protein shake , and doing your old habits. But something changed. Your triceps muscles say to the brain " Man, that was awsome, I want to grow, and so be it". Your brain says " sure, no worries , mate ,I approve it. "
And you wake up tomorrow, and go again, but also just for a little. Nothing huge. Perhaps today a little leg day. Again not to much, but enough. After a month you have been hitting the gym every day, and you have some significant change on your body. Your triceps already show some change and your legs now a bit bigger than a spagetthi. Nice work. You get start to enoy to been in the gym, go more times, doing more, and etc. Understand??
This is the same with your willpower. It is not an accident they call it "power" . You have to work for it. So how does it look like in this thing in the real life? Picture the situation you want to shape your garden. It is a mess, and every time you have seen it looks like Mirkwood.
So you do not have the mood, and the power to lift that weight up. But what would happen if I say, to take out one weed, and plant two tomatoes. Okay you say, I can do this. You are doing it, and nothing more. Tomorrow you are doing the same. After a month you have a beautiful garden and a flowering tomato sauce busniess. Two birds with one stone.
So here is the recap about this.
- Your willpower is a muscle.
- Doing really really small thing to make a habbit.
You see? If you are doing really small things which is not effort to your brain, that is the step you have to do. You have to play out your brain. If you say I will learn 5 words in the language what you wanna learn, does not look a lot. But after a month is 150 words , and after a year is 1825 words. To main point is step by step, but continuously. And yes, the big big big lesson is also for that to be patient. So what about you're amazing people ready to go the the ACTION GYM??
This is soo good! I am really like your content, great writing! Tomato sauce business haha :D Keep going!
Thank you brother! I appreciate your honesty
