I am sure you can all relate to this pain!
Let’s get to it!
Your perspective matters
I was watching a podcast on YouTube and this part hit like me a wet fish in the face on a cold winters day.
I take no credit for these pictures. I took a snapshot of them because the visuals are powerful.

Thanks as ever to Russell Brunson
How Far I Am From The Ideal
Think about a goal or an end state that you have in mind.
Either past or present.
That feeling of working so hard, pushing yourself forward all the time. Only to realize how far away you are from your end goal.
What emotion does that bring out in you?
I am going to guess that it isn’t positive.
Likely frustration, annoyance, sadness, the questioning is it worth it.
Your lacking energy to continue.
On the other side of it.
You can see it as:

On your journey you would have travelled a long way, learnt new skills, met new people, and learnt a lot about yourself.
The distance between the ideal is still the same.
But how are you feeling now?
Most likely feelings of pride, happiness, motivation, the want to continue.
The goal or ideal hasnt necessarily changed.
But your approach to it has.
Which way of seeing this is going to help you most?
Cheering you on
