Trade offs for achieving success. What are you willing to give up?

About Trade Offs

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope life is wonderful in your corner of the World! Let’s breathe and smile.

For as long as I remember myself, I don’t think I’ve ever been a wandering generality. I’ve always had some kind of dreams and goals, and I knew what I was going to do when I grow up. And this is what success consists of: get your goals, determine what you need, what are the steps you need to take to get there, and get busy working those steps.

Well, there’s one more item. And I think it is the hardest one to manage. Most of people I know fail in that department sooner or later. Yes, including yours truly. So I’ll be the first one to testify.

You see, we like being busy. I didn’t say working, I said being busy. This is our lifestyle. We are getting trillions of bits of information into our brain every day. We’re constantly doing something. Our day is full, and our time is still 24 hours per day.

I remember, my coach asked me, “What are you going to give up?”

I like so many things that it is hard to decide. I like being busy, and the idea of trade offs is one of the hardest to accept. Unfortunately, if I want to become successful in business, in life, in training, in sports, in nutrition program, I have to give up something to receive something. There’s no other way around it.

Have you heard people say, “I really want this, but I just don’t have time for it.” I’ve said this more than once. Welcome to the club. Next time you really want something, ask yourself 2 simple questions:

– Do I really want it?
And if answer is YES, then
– What am I willing to give up?

Think about it, my friend.

Thanks for stopping by.
