Thoughts of the Week: December 8, 2023

Don’t fool yourself into feeling productive — start making real moves.

Dec 08, 2023

Far too many people fall into the trap of focusing on the little things. They fill up their schedules with the things that “maintain” - things that (if they’re honest) don’t make any real progress or create the breakthroughs.

Stop tricking your brain into thinking you’re moving big rocks and getting the real work done…when all you’re really doing is kicking pebbles. If you want to be the best, if you want to really elevate, it’s time to challenge yourself to start doing the heavy lifting.

Lift some boulders, and make the time for it.

Look at your to-do list, plug in the big rocks you’ve been neglecting, and get to it.
