WHEN LIFE IS A WEIGHT…JUST BENCH IT!

Yes!! I admit it!!

I LOVE Mondays!!

It’s the day when I get back to doing what I love most – helping people overcome their self imposed limits to become the best version of themselves they could ever be.

And because I love doing it, I daresay am also damn good at it.

Hell YEAH!!!!

I keep hearing about how Mondays are supposed to be blue because the weekend is over and everybody’s going back to work.

And so, it’s a 5 day wait to the weekend – the supposed “party time” of the week.

Boohoos all around.

Well, I don’t get it.

If your work is bad enough to have you dreading Mondays – then why the HELL are you doing it?

I can think of few things worse in life than being forced to drudge along going through the motions in a job you hate, and doing something that doesn’t fulfil you or give you any satisfaction.

That’s like a form of modern torture. An exercise in futility and desperation.

Who needs that kind of stress? I certainly don’t. And neither do you – well, unless you are a few nuts short of a fruitcake, that is.

I see way too many people going through this on a daily basis – and it’s one of the great destroyers of happiness in their lives.

STOMP DOWN AND LOOK AROUND

Seriously, if you are going through this right now, you need to stomp on the brakes!!!

Yes, just grind your ass to a halt right now.

Then gaze around take a good hard look at your life.

If RIGHT NOW, you aren’t LOVING what you are doing – then STOP DOING IT!

Because life is way to short to burn it out like that.

Keep one thing in mind – you are ALWAYS in charge of your destiny.

Just about every single thing you are going through in your life right now is of YOUR design.

Yes, it is something you built and asked for.

If you feel you are being disrespected, or not appreciated enough, or trodden over, or taken foregranted, or hurt, or if you are continuously being passed over for promotion at work, or simply just being squeezed dry because you are “too nice” – or just about anything else that you wished was not happening in your life- that is because you allow it to happen.

A bitter truth – but I would rather handle a bitter truth than a sweet lie, any time.

Sure, finger pointing is easy – but it’s just a load of self-serving bullshit.

“Not my fault, it’s his/her fault, it’s destiny, it always happens to me, I am just unlucky, I never get an even break” – blah, blah, blah.

Just fucking do something about it already!

You will run out of the days of your life a lot faster than you will run out of your excuses.

YOU da boss – every day!

AFRAID OF CHANGE?

Yes, change is tough. Sometimes, really tough. It’s going to take a lot of guts, some deeply serious soul-searching and a dizzying leap of faith to get outside the confines of your box.

So what else is new?

That’s the way it is. And will always be.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going in life. You have to earn it, baby.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger put it, life is all about reps. Do it again, and again, and again. And then some more.

Don’t do it until you get it right. Do it until you absolutely cannot get it wrong.

And if you are still thinking you’re going to get anything handed to you on a shiny, silver platter, you probably still believe in Father Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, pixies, goblins and elves, and honest politicians.

Good luck with that, funny face.
