Thoughts of the Week: September 15, 2023

Avoidance is a tricky thing. It usually feels better in the moment, but almost always creates more difficulty down the line…it postpones the good things on the other side of the challenge.

Instead of waiting for problems to disappear (which often has the opposite effect), tackle one thing head on today. Select one thing & Do it. Resist the temptation to choose temporary relief over progress, and address that hard thing. 

More often than not, the very issues left unattended are often the ones holding the most potential on the other side. It’s probably going to make you uncomfortable - but in the end, it’s worth it.

 Buckle up, and move something forward today that is long overdue.

1. Never be afraid to take the chance.

2. You want to master focus? Spend 3 minutes watching Steve Jobs share why it starts with saying “no.”

3. If you want the same things, stay the same. If you want something different, change isn’t just nice — it’s necessary.
