Beyond The Storm: Brief Moments of Clarity

For the very few days the switch is turned off, I can finally see –and it’s on these days I wonder what the hell I was suffering from anyway.

The best realization you can have is understanding that there isn’t anything else. There is no place to go, no “thing” to do, because everything you were looking for is right here.

That’s why they say “GO ALL IN.”

I used to laugh at that with friends. I’d hear certain entrepreneurs offer advice like, “no matter what your current position, do it fully… and you’ll see, things will change for the better.”

My immediate thought was this is by far the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. How does going in on something you don’t care about, with limited opportunities in the field itself, change your circumstances?

I mean, change comes from change– not more work. Their advice seemed like something to keep you stuck, something an insecure and overly competitive person might offer up to lesson the competition.

But I misunderstood.

The idea wasn’t that going all in would solve your career aspirations, but rather it would improve your attitude towards work itself, and then life– because the two are actually closely related.

I’ve written so many posts on attitude and haven’t fully comprehended why it’s so important. In fact, there’s nothing more important.

If you know anyone who is strangely optimistic, almost naively so, they’re the person to model for the next 30 days.

We can’t be something we’re not, but every single one of us can change our approach.

This should be your only goal, because changing this leads to success in every other area, but even more important– it makes you the person who enjoys the life you live.

That’s all I’m after.

So for now, my only task is right before me. I will go ALL IN.

And embrace everything.
