Dear Me,
” Even if a Middle Goal grows into a Guaranteed Goal and takes years to complete, know those years were made of minutes, and there are a lot of those hidden in every day. Not only do minutes matter, but minute actions matter too. Sometimes we have two-minute action we could plug into that moment. Stealing back minutes from activities that don’t deserve them and applying them to intentional actions feels amazing. It will also change much more than just how you think about distractions…When you start to value your time, you’ll realize that stress and worry don’t deserve it either. When you’re in the pursuit of your potential, stress won’t seem like the kind of action that’s worthy of your time. You don’t stop worrying. You just start working on your goal and one day realize you have less time for things like stress, fear, and doubt. You care too much about your limited resource of time to give it away casually to something that isn’t serving you. That’s one of the core principles of living in your potential. You don’t become more disciplined in avoiding things that are wasting your time; you become more devoted to the things that matter and end up enjoying more discipline than you’ve ever known.”
