You were sold a bag of lies.

The old adage “when the going gets tough, the tough get going” is simply untrue. The “tough” started long before that.
By the time the going gets tough, if you haven’t hit ‘go’, you’re going to fail. If you haven’t trained for the fight and you step into the ring, you’ll be taken out with the first blow. Bye.
The truth?
You need to be prepared. What you do EVERY day matters.
The grind may not be pretty, or fun, and more likely than not you are not going to always want to do it. BUT, if change, impact or growth is the outcome you’re looking for then you must redirect focus to the everyday details.
Are you intentional about your activities?
Are you prioritizing your time effectively?
Do you understand why you do something and how it correlates to your desired future state?
Ensuring the above are done, collectively, will form the foundation which will make you unstoppable.
Ask an athlete who didn’t train how the competition went.
Ask the business owner who didn’t create a plan how successful the project was.
Ask the parent who didn’t intentionally carve time out for family how their relationships are.
What you do everyday MATTERS.
Plan.
Focus.
Succeed.
Stand tall. Commit to Habitual Growth.
