916. Nothing Matters Until You Make It Matter

Nothing matters until you make it matter, good or bad. It can be so easy to spiral and focus your energy on things that are frustrating, upsetting, or just generally keeping you down. On the flip side, if you want to prioritize something, you have to be super intentional about that and make sure that you’re giving it the attention that it deserves. I’m trying to become a master of focusing my time and energy where it serves me best, enjoying my downtime, and being present with the people that I love. I’ll always be a work in progress, but the more that I can let things go and hone in on what matters, the more I can live in alignment and reach my goals.

913. Shrink The Time It Takes To Reach A Goal

If you’re procrastinating and putting off your big goal because you want it to be perfect, that’s just another version of an excuse. That might sound harsh, but it’s something I wish I would’ve heard when I was sitting in a lot of resistance. I’ve realized that it’s better to do whatever it takes to get the job done, and then learn on the other side. If you have to do more research and drag out your launch, it means you probably shouldn’t be teaching it because you haven’t lived it yet. I promise that it’s better to condense your timeline, make yourself do it, and get your idea out there ASAP.
