Could do, Should do, Didn't do, Repeat.

Procrastination isn't a sign you're headed on the right path. It's a sign you aren't that serious about the path.

As it seems it's in our nature to be put off by the things we know we NEED to get it done. You know what I mean.

• The phone calls we should make
• The emails we should send
• The workouts we should get done
• The books we should read to get ahead

The list goes on and on. However, if we know we should take some sort of action towards the issue, then why are we so ignorant as to not follow through? Even though we know it would make all the different the future outcomes. Whether it's;

1. You getting the job you've applied for
2. You achieving the weight loss goals you set out to accomplish
3. You getting that promotion at work or not
4. You getting another date with that woman or that man that you're into

We say we want something. We post all the motivational bullshit all over our social media and proclaim to the Facebook masses that we're tired, we're done or that it's time for a change.

"New Year, New Me" kind of BS that people love to throw out there because it sounds awesome and it makes us feel like we're actually doing something.

I'm sorry to say, but words always fall short when action isn't there to follow up.

In short, YOU AREN'T SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT

You don't want to put in the work, read the books, have the conversations, or make the sacrifice to have what you claim you want.

So why is that ?

Because it's EASY

It's SO easy to make these claims, say all of this bullshit and post all the motivational banter on our social media  accounts for likes, praise and fake support. It feels good for a second, it makes us feel like we're actually doing something but, the outcome is always the same.

I look at progress, in a weird way, the same way I look at suicide. If it IS going to happen, it'll happen without all the bells, whistles and outcry for the attention.

Our success breathes, eats and moves in silence and when it comes, I do believe we would see a pattern change. We would see a lot less talk and a lot more outcome/result/action.

So I ask of you here; right here and now:

STOP TALKING AND START DOING

Let's stop talking, pretending, bullshitting and proclaiming to our fake social media outlets (Because let's be honest. Social Media is, for the most part, an ego stroke. People live for Likes and it's sad) and begin with action.

• Read those books
• Write those emails
• Make those phone calls
• Get to the gym
• Pay attention to what you have going on and act, don't let it go

It's hard to get ahead and, if you so happen to fall behind, it's twice as hard to get back to where you were and four times as hard to get ahead at that point.

We all have the same resources, we're all capable of the same thing. I believe the only difference between those who achieve their goals and those who repeat their mistakes are how closely they pay attention to themselves and what they're doing.
