We can all use willpower to get something done that we do not want to do or feel uncomfortable doing. But willpower fades away soon, and when it does, we tend to fall back on our default behavior. (Remember how long that New Year’s resolution lasted?)
If we are to be successful, we need to make some new decisions about what is important; to readjust what is important and meaningful and why. Then we need to make the right thing to do as easy as possible, by setting up our environment so the right thing to do is easy and the wrong thing to do is more difficult.
Then we need to do the right thing long enough until it becomes easy in our mind – not a bother; not a sacrifice. It’s just how we live – a habit or an automatic discipline.
Our habits and discipline will accumulate and new long-term results will come from them.
What old habit in your life needs to be replaced by a new one?
Good luck Larry and Team!!!
So true! You said it so well that we are a product of our environmental and habits. Let’s be with the right people and the right places, and we will eventually change in the right direction.
Enjoy your Baja race, along with the great people with you!
FANTASTIC POST, LARRY!
Love the Captain America graphic as well – a true symbol of endurance, along with someone who has raced in the desert silt and whoops so many times!!
Wishing you and your Teams ALL the best!!! Looking forward to heading all about it! (New installment of Into the Dust? We can only hope :))
