Blog 240 – Decide to Work, Then Put In The Work

Today is the day to just get up and put in the work.  Decide to work on things that matter.  That’s it, that’s all.

You know what you want – don’t worry about not getting it, don’t give up – just put in the work today toward it.

If you are tempted by distractions, cast them aside.  Decide to work on something that will move you toward your goals instead.

Get up, make your list, pray or meditate, then start working to accomplish those items on your list – put in the work, check in before you go to sleep, evaluate how you did, then visualize kicking butt tomorrow.

“Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself.” – Mark Twain
