FRIDAYTHOUGHTS #244: THAT 4-LETTER WORD: WORK

That 4-letter word: "work".

Work is defined as an "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result."

Work. There is no way around it. There is no shortcut. There is no cheat code and there is no substitute for that four letter word we call: work.

Anything you want to accomplish in life will require work. 

Do you want to accomplish a goal or dream?

Do you want to have more peace?

Do you want have better health?

Do you want to make more money?

Do you want a good relationship?  

Do you want to quit that unhealthy addiction?

Do you want to have a better relationship with your family/kids?

Welp, guess what all of them will require? You guessed it...work. There is NO easy route in life, either you choose the hard of what you really want or you choose the hard of regret, it's that simple. And no, just because you are breathing air does not mean that you are deserving of ANY of those things...you're not!

You can't expect to have anything great in life if you're not worthy of it. Read that again and meditate on it...matter of fact read it as many times as necessary.

No one owes you anything in this life, no one. Not your family, not your friends. No one owes you anything, you have to earn it. 

You have to earn that goal/dream. You have to earn finding more peace of mind. You have to earn being the person you need to be to have a healthy relationship. You have to earn the ability to increase your income. You have to earn becoming healthier. You have to earn ANYthing in this lifetime...and taking massive self-responsibility is how you get there.

You are your biggest liability and your biggest asset...it's you. Don't blame and point the finger, don't do that...or you could do that, however, that won't help your situation. If you try to take a short-cut it only cuts you. The only way to change is to take massive self-responsibility and be the change that you want to see.

YOU are the gift that you've been waiting for.

It's you...it's always been you. And when you decide to do the inner/outer work you'll become that change and it won't happen overnight but it will happen in time. Little by little, brick by brick...you'll do the work necessary to build your dream.

There is no easy route in life, so we might as well choose the hard that leads to happiness. I see you champion and I'm proud of you. Keep going, keep growing and continue to give the world the most healed and greatest version of you...on purpose.

Have an incredible weekend. #bless
