The Carrot
It’s become pretty clear to me that to move forward we need a very tasty carrot dangling on a string in front of us.
It may be a carrot of necessity or desire but it has to be there or we won’t get there.
It has to be something compelling, otherwise we remain in dwelling.
We have too many goals that are in the “nice to have” category. If they don’t move into the “if I don’t get that, I won’t be able to breathe” classification, we remain in place.
We may set a goal and execute a plan to achieve it, but if our objective doesn’t have the yummy carrot quality, we’ll lack the juice to make it happen.
How many things are on your list that have been on your list for decades? Here’s a clue: They’re not going to happen for you.
Your list of desires has to get real. That means you have to pare it down to only the things that contain zeal, otherwise they are just placeholders for perfunctory.
If it doesn’t excite you, get it off your list or you’ll never get off your ass to do it.
This isn’t your “to-do” list to which I refer; it’s the list that fervor has been waiting for.
Find your carrot and you’ll stop stringing yourself along. Remember this: If it doesn’t have passion, it’s a bucket list of do-do that will die before you do.
All the best,
John
