It is so easy to get distracted, isn’t it?
The world is full of various distractions; various ways to wile away the time.
Some of the ways even seem pretty cool…
But you know that they are not taking you anywhere near where you really want to be and it is your life tick-tick-ticking away while the genius of someone else is distracting you.
Why do we do that?
Why do we allow ourselves to get distracted instead of buckle down and do the work that needs to be done in order to succeed…
I am as guilty as the next person!
I allow all kinds of things to distract me from my purpose…
I blame all kinds of things like children being there all the time, family getting in the way and having lots of expectations…
I said I did not know how to do things so of course, I need to keep taking all the courses in the world but not implementing a damn thing,
I need to keep listening to webinar upon webinar and again, NOT IMPLEMENTING A DAMN THING!
I need to keep reading all the books and again… NOT a damn thing done!
And there are days when this still happens and usually, I am avoiding something…
I am avoiding the work not because I do not want to do it – (Thankfully, I am in a place where I am eliminating more and more of the things I hate to do so no, it is not that I hate to do it…)
So, if it is not because I hate to do the work, what is my reason for avoiding the work & allowing myself to get distracted?
I am avoiding it because when I look deep inside, I am scared that no matter how hard I work, I just may never get to where I want to go…
There… I said it!
I have called the beast out of the darkness and shone a light on it and it makes me squirm and it squirms too because really, for me and maybe even for you, it is not only about the monetary rewards though, they are pretty damn good (I seem to be enjoying the word ‘damn’ today – sorry if it offends you – Just the way I am feeling!)
It is because the work I do is more of a calling than just a business.
so where is it that I think I am going?
I am already here!
Or I would be if I allowed myself to CONTINUALLY, CONSISTENTLY do the work…
But the problem for most of us entrepreneurs, is that we are not consistent with doing the work, we are not consistent with the process, we keep looking for the reward and doubting we will get it so we never really commit to consistently doing the work.
We forget that the work itself is worth doing because it is a fulfillment of our own originally designed nature.
And that is another thing…
It is easier to chase another person’s agenda because we are not attached to the result in the same way as deliberately putting ourselves out in the marketplace. If people do not buy our stuff, then it feels like a slur against our very own person so we distract ourselves because we want to hide away and never experience the pain of rejection.
We do not want to be seen…
We do not want to see!
Because once we see, there is no going back into a land where we can pretend there is nothing more important that we could be doing…
So, we keep allowing the distractions to distract us…
Other people keep creating and you keep consuming and you never actually become the creator in return…
And that is a pity because there is something awesome hiding inside of you but it will only show up when you choose to face yourself and begin the journey.
Or restart the journey if you find that you have been distracted a little too long…
And as I sit here finishing this off, I wonder how we can find the courage inside to keep showing up in our business and to continually do the work even when the reward we think we want feels impossible and blurry …
And it all comes down to trust…
Trust that the universe, God has you in hand – If you were designed a certain way, to show up in a certain way then there is a reason for it and you must stop avoiding it…
Trust that when you choose to be your authentic self in business and life, the reward you seek will hunt you down and find you.
You just must keep moving forward…
