Self Improvers Are Creating Their Own Pass
and their comfort zone is their enemy
10 years to understand one thing
I want to be honest. I realized that I'm not a quick learner.
It took me 10 years to learn and understand ONE simple thing.
6 years of fundamental education at the best uni and about 4 years in various conventional careers have led me to realize that this way of living is outdated and not right for me.
Success in the 21st century isn't just handed to you; it's carved out by those who dare to forge their own paths. Gone are the days when formal credentials and traditional career tracks offered a guarantee of security and fulfillment. In today's ever-changing landscape, thriving means adopting an entrepreneurial mindset, honing personal branding, and committing to continuous self-education.
Here's the big challenge: the world is too dynamic, and sticking to a safe routine won't cut it anymore. The entrepreneurial mindset isn't just for business owners; it's essential for anyone looking to thrive amid constant disruption. It's about taking control of your destiny, creating value relentlessly, and adapting to ride the waves of change to unimaginable heights.
2 steps to navigate the new reality
So, how do you navigate this new reality? By looking for ways to innovate and lead, even if it's not in your job description. This proactive approach is what sets the entrepreneurial minds from the rest. This means pushing yourself out of your comfort zone into the FLOW state.
- It is the byproduct of knowing what you want and accepting nothing less from yourself. This way, you avoid boredom.
- It is the byproduct of an ordered mind. That is, maintaining a clear vision for your future and filling clarity gaps with education and action. This way, you avoid anxiety.
My philosophy behind this lesson
One of the biggest ironies I can think of, is when you live life trying to stay comfortable, life will send you more and more discomfort.
It's true, life will send you more and more problems. Life will keep throwing rocks at you. Life will keep handing you resistance, struggles, issues.
And because people are so concerned about staying comfortable instead of growing and reaching higher, because people don't want to address their limitations and move beyond them.
They keep struggling.
Look, you are not here on this planet to sip apple martinis on the beach and get yourself a tan.
You are here to grow.
And if you won't make yourself uncomfortable life will give you plenty of reasons to push you out of your comfort zone.
So you have one of two options:
- Either you commit to constant growth and feeling discomfort upon your own accord and you become the master of your own destiny,
- or you hand over the keys and you let life happen to you be default.
One path leads you to success and the other path leads you to constant struggle and pain.
It's your choice.
So why you giving in to wasting time with Netflix marathons? And to chronic procrastination? Why are you running to the bar the second your best friend texts you to come out?
You've got to be willing to feel uncomfortable.
You have got to be willing to make the hard decision.
To feel awkward, to face rejection, to fail, to feel pressure.
You've got to be willing to face those things, because that's what's necessary for you to grow.
How many times have you looked at your life and said:
"Man, if i only knew then what i know now, i would live my life so differently"
So is it not possible then, that the life you are living now, you would be living differently, if you began to develop an awareness that you do not currently have?
Well guess what?
The only way for you to develop knowledge and awareness is
to try things you have not yet tried
to do things you have not yet done
to create things you have not yet created
to go to places you have not yet explored
This is how you grow!
That is how you become the person who is worthy of sitting on the beach with their favorite drink, life rewards you with those experiences AFTER you do the work.
There is a real price to success, and LIFE collects the payments, and life does not accept payment plans.
Life does not let you get away with experiencing things you have not yet earned.
Your sacrifice must be paid upfront and in full, and that is the only way you are going to achieve the life you want.
So I strongly suggest that you begin to pay with your discomfort.
I strongly suggest you start making those calls, that you start approaching that person, that you start practicing kindness and compassion, over jealousy and greed, that you confront your anxiety, that you hit the gym, that you study harder, that you jump higher, that you begin waking up early, even if you're not a morning person.
That you destroy your procrastination.
That you start doing the things, that you KNOW, within your heart, you should have started doing a long time ago, so you can start to build the experiences and the knowledge that you need to succeed.
That is what I suggest to you.
And don't read this as a motivational fluff in my blog.
Read this as a direct sign, a direct message that life is giving you, to wake you up, to help you acknowledge your own greatness.
It's time!
It's time for you to get uncomfortable
it's time for you to start dreaming again
and start going after what was always yours, but what you've ignored for far too long.
And I promise, when you push yourself into discomfort
your family will take notice
your friends will take notice
your colleagues will take notice
LIFE will take notice, and life will begin to back you up.
Life will begin to support you, and open doors for you and introduce you to the people who will take you to the next level, but you have got to take the first step!
So take it.
Take it and watch your life explode into greatness.
Watch new levels of the game unfold for you.
Watch you develop into the person who you have always wanted to become.
It's all waiting for you OUTSIDE of your comfort zone.
GO FOR IT.
