Become Better To Make Life Easier
Hey there!
After watching a good amount of Jim Rohn, one of the things he said really stuck with me. This quote being:
“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better”
Challenges will arise throughout every single person’s lives. It is up to that person to decide what they will do against those challenges.
If you feel that something is hard, become better at that thing so that it becomes easier to do. For example, when I first started playing soccer I felt as if the sport was hard. It was just something that I felt I couldn’t do simply because at the beginning it wasn’t easy for me to do.
Now that I’m much older I know just how easy the sport can become if you just keep putting in the time to practice and hone your skills. I’m not saying that I’m the greatest player that hasn’t gone pro yet, but I’m definitely loads of levels above where I was when I first began playing the sport.
That last example was pretty easy to understand, but I have one even better.
When you first start lifting a heavy weight, it is exactly that- heavy.
In order for you to really begin having it feel easy, you first have to start with a lighter weight. The more you lift that weight the easier it becomes. Over time you’ll keep progressing and upping the weight until you get to what once was a “heavy weight”.
You will feel accustomed to lifting things almost as if not as heavy that the “heavy weight” will feel as just another step into gaining strength.
You will continue lifting heavier weights and eventually when you look back you will realize that it wasn’t the weight that got lighter, but instead it was you who got stronger.
Change and improve your mindset!
Have a great day!
