Hello Friends,
Happy Sunday!
With January 1st around the corner, I want you to remember and hone in what separates YOU from everyone else.
Let me share this story with you:
There were these two tribes that inhabited the Andes Mountains.
There was a low lander tribe, and there had been a tribe who had lived up in the high mountains as well.
So one day the highlanders came down and plundered the village of the lowlanders. And they kidnapped one of the lowlanders’ babies and took it up into the highlands.
Well the lowlanders organized a group of the bravest and strongest men to go recover and rescue the baby. These men were determined to climb to the top.
But the mountain was very steep, and it was rocky.
And being from the lowlands, they didn’t know how to climb very well.
Well after weeks of very little progress, they were exhausted and defeated.
One of the men said, “Is it necessary for us to risk our lives just to rescue one child? Our village has other children. We do not need to climb this mountain.” The rest of the men agreed and gathered their belongings for the trek home.
Now it isn’t that these men didn’t want to rescue the baby. They did. But after having tried and coming up short several times, they determined that the journey was too difficult. It was unnecessary.
See, it’s easy to concentrate on what’s necessary instead of what’s possible.
Most people live like this.
Most people do just fine.
They pay their bills. They feed their families, and they have a steady income.
They live a get by kind of life.
And this isn’t just me making judgement one way or the other.
It’s just a simple fact.
But I don’t believe that any of you reading this today are average.
You’re not here to be like most people.
You’re not here because you want to get by in your life.
And it’s what sets you apart from everybody outside of this platform.
Action for today:
As we wrap up 2023, let’s start creating the guide map to our dreams and goals.
And to do so, first do this:
Today, think beyond only what’s necessary.
Challenge yourself to think about what’s possible for you – if you really pushed and stretched yourself.
Jot down three things you could do if you decided to dig in and really go for it.
Just write them down, you don’t have to commit to doing them (yet).
I just want your eyes seeing what you write, thus sending the signal to your brain.
The brain is powerful when you declare what you are going to do.
Go!
You will succeed
