When it comes to my goals, I feel like I’ve lost something… and I have.
I grew up taking short cuts.
I was good at it.
Instead of study, I’d cheat.
Instead of read, I’d pitch.
Instead of work, I’d persuade (others to do it).
When I finally got out of school, my plan was to take on the world in this same way– outthink everyone, cut to the front of the line, and just live however I want.
So when I got off the station and found myself at rock bottom with nothing to show, total shock would be an understatement to say the least.
I don’t know you.
Maybe cleverness is what your life is missing. But what I can tell you is if you’ve hit any kind of block in life or your stuck on a level, keep this in mind:
What got you here, won’t take you there.
It’s a universal law, I think it exists to keep us evolving. Point is– switch it up. I know younger me would be surprised to see me as I am.
I’m WAAAY LESS of a dreamer these days- my goals are strictly practical: skills and financial. I lost the, “wanting shit to happen” and I gained my own desire to take the wheel.
Then my life improved.
Weird.
When I did the opposite of my default I not only developed and got ahead, but I find myself more fulfilled.
The lesson here?
If you’re stuck, do something different.
