Overcoming Inaction Through Mindset Shift

I just watched a video that changed the way I think so I'm gonna share it for myself and other people because I know it's

gonna be helpful, but I watched this video of Jay Plemons

I'll like put the picture right here and essentially he said that

Thinking about the effort and hard work required to do a task instead of thinking about the payoff is what keeps us stuck in inaction

and laziness

I'll say it again

Thinking about the effort instead of the payoff is what's keeping us stuck

And so to give an example instead of thinking about the delicious meal that you could be eating

You're thinking about the work required to get up and go to the kitchen cook the meal or go out to the restaurant and order

And come back home. And so we end up not doing anything at all

We're overweighting the costs and we're underweighting the benefits and it's keeping us at this lower level of potential and

Oftentimes when we do the task we realize that the benefits are better than the cost

They outweigh the cost and not only that the benefits are often better than we had ever

imagined the benefits to be

Like when I started hosting the only tangible result that I had imagined out of this was getting maybe

1,000 followers and enough money to buy DaVinci Resolve Pro. What ended up happening is I have 80,000 Instagram followers

I have a giant community around me that supports me and sends me such amazing

Messages every day and I have friends that support me in my wins. They don't sabotage me. They don't make me feel small and I

Feel so truly lucky to be alive

Which makes me realize I've really shifted realities with this one decision to post

Stop looking at these things like their obligations and punishments and start looking back at them as

Opportunities to catapult yourself into your dream life

You need to understand that because I will not have you stay stuck if you are thinking about trying something bigger like oh god

It's gonna be so much work. I don't even know if it's worth it. It's worth it

It's worth it

and if you're in a task right now and you're like this is really difficult and I don't know if I can keep doing this I

Promise you that there is a light at the tunnel and the light is gonna be like not even just like I don't know

I like a flashlight. It's gonna be like a humongous ball of Sun that makes you realize

Discipline is a small price to pay for your dream

Anyways, I hope you guys have a nice day and I'll see you tomorrow
