The excuse I hear most often from people trying to succeed but failing is, “Well, I don’t like doing that part of it,” “I don’t like selling myself,” “I hate going onstage,” or whatever it is.
You know would be good for you in the long run to do it, but you don’t want to do it because you don’t like it.
What are you, an infant? You don’t like your vegetables so you’re not going to eat them?
It’s time to grow up. Adults do things they don’t want to do because they know they’re good for them in the long term.
Imagine a farmer who didn’t like getting up early. “Eh, I don’t feel like milking the cows today.” He’d lose the farm! No, you get up and you do the work. That’s what you do.
Do it first. Make it quick. Make it a habit so you don’t even think about it. Learn to take pleasure in all the aspects of the path you’ve chosen, even the hard parts. Pretty soon you might just grow to like the parts you used to hate.
Sometimes what we say we “don’t like”, it’s simply because it makes us UNCOMFORTABLE!
I’m trying to get more comfortable being uncomfortable...
