Repetition fulfills.
Think of the last time you had a dream or a big goal to work towards.
You were focused. You were determined. You were obsessed.
When this mental framework is attained, progress is inevitable.
You are trying and failing.
You are acting and making mistakes.
You are ignoring all the noise (doubts, insecurity, etc.)
Doubters will try to push you off balance. This critique comes from below. A real hustler is a rising tide.
Insecurity comes from our fear of uncertainty and change. We want to stay the same and be comfortable with reality. When you are in the zone with repetition, focus, and obsession, you have no time to think about anything else.
Reality has its default setting: the status quo.
Follow the rules.
Do things the right way.
Do not disrupt the pattern.
Do not disrupt the expectations of society.
Here is the thing:
To achieve goals, you put in reps, transcend stagnation, and remove distractions.
You are no longer disturbed.
You break the mould.
You enter a zone of momentum.
Such is the power of focus and goal setting. They reinforce each other.
You enter an unbreakable sense of presence.
You start to see what you and your life story are made of.
This is where life gets fun.
You are learning. You are changing. You are being.
When you are dialed in to your life, it is truly beautiful how everything starts to look.
Whatever you want to be, just do the thing! Get lost in it.
When the building blocks are there, you are immersed.
Anything else looks unappealing.
Everything about your actions looks prosperous.
You are experiencing the "thrill" of real life.
It is found in the constant routine of coordinated challenge.
Trust me: you would not have it any other way.
