successful people are lazy. 👀
Sep 23rd. Before I was doing anything with my life, it was usually around this time of year where I’d start to panic. In the beginning of the year, I’d set a bunch of lofty goals. I’d promise myself that this year is gonna be different. But my New Year’s resolutions would remain as unchecked boxes on my computer screen. By June, I’d start feeling the pressure. “Ok, you gotta lock in bro.” I’d change my routine for a few days or maybe a week. Then something would throw me off and I’d revert back to old habits. I’d continue on autopilot for the next few months and then this time of year would hit. That’s when I’d reach panic mode. We’d be more than halfway through the year and I hadn’t made nearly any progress on my goals. If this sounds familiar and you woke up in a frenzy this morning, good. You’re just a few actions and a few months away from a very different life. I’m writing to you from the lobby of one of the nicest hotels in LA where they filmed the movie Pretty Woman. In a couple hours, I’ll order a $200 uber black lux to take me to the airport even though I could get a normal one for $50. On my flight back to Miami I’m in seat 1A and my girl is in 1B (as long as they don’t rug pull me again). My life looks a lot different than it did when I’d procrastinate taking action on my goals for the better half of a year. But I’m that same lazy kid. I hate doing things I don’t wanna do. I hate not knowing exactly how things are gonna work out. I hate change. But more than all of these, I hate the idea of living a life that I don’t want to live. And that fear was powerful enough to help me overcome my lazy nature and habit of procrastinating. So if you want to spur yourself into action, picture in vivid detail what your life will look like if you keep stalling. And if that doesn’t do the trick you’re probably cooked. Sorry. Talk to you when I’m back in DC, Griff
