TMF #022: Making this small mindset shift will 10x the quality of your life.
Welcome to the Monday Formula,
What you'll learn:
The benefits of taking responsibility for your outcomes both good and bad.
Read time?
Less than 2 minutes.
A short (but impactful) one for you today.
Let's dive in.
Choices and responsibility.
Some men get home and watch tv for 2 hours
Some men get home and gym for an hour then work on their side business.
Same amount of time: different choices
Different results. So what do you want?
Let me emphasise to you:
When you blame anything external to you or make excuses, you are giving away your power.
Literally throwing it away, giving it to something else outside of you.
Know that everyone that has been successful (whatever that may mean for you) has internalised the view that everything is 'their fault'
And that's a good thing.
If everything is your fault, then you have the capacity to change it.
You don't WANT to have external circumstances determining your life.
Otherwise you'd be powerless to change it; truly stuck.
This may be triggering to some of you because you've held onto the idea that you're not where you want to be because of something else other than your lack of discipline.
You're not in the shape you want to be because you don't eat well enough or exercise properly.
You don't have the money you want because you don't work enough or haven't built more income producing assets.
You're stiff and sore because you don't do your recovery work.
Your relationships aren't as close and intimate as they could be because you don't tell the truth and you aren't openly loving enough.
I understand everyone starts from different places in life, and not everyone has the same opportunities.
But if you're reading this, you have the internet, you have free time - you can learn an infinite amount of things
How to improve in every realm, its all possible and within your reach.
Men who have had it harder than you, have won, succeeded and improved the lot of their lives by their own efforts.
Men who have it easier than you have failed too, because they weren't.
Ultimately it doesn't matter what other people are doing, only you and your reality.
You can choose to have the belief that it's out of your hands - the result of that will be failure as you drift into helpless mediocrity.
OR, you can choose to believe that it's all up to you - which leads to you moulding the life you want out of the clay you're given.
The pain of feeling that you've not been doing all you can is good.
Feel it, but don't let it control you.
Most people feel the pain and shy away from it - they shout excuses in order to look away from the truth.
Don't let that be you.
Take responsibility and control of everything.
That’s all for this Monday.
If you’re not getting value out of these tips, please consider unsubscribing.
I won’t mind and there are no hard feelings.
Alternatively, if you are enjoying this newsletter, the best compliment you could pay me would be to share it with others on Twitter.
Otherwise, see you again next week.
