All right, let me give you an analogy.
Let's say you are a poor man wanting to buy a car. You go out to different lots and find the ones you like, you know, the real flashy ones, the ones with real power, etc. But then you ask for the price, and it's astronomical! You can't afford it. So, what do most of us do? We SETTLE for something less than what we want because we can afford it and lock ourselves into a payment for 5 years paying off something that we didn't REALLY want...all because we couldn't afford it!
Now, imagine if you are the same poor man going to the lot. You find a car that is PERFECT for you, but when the salesman gives you the price, you can't afford it. Same as before. However, instead of SETTLING for something less, you leave the lot, spend the next year of your life improving your finances (go back to school, throw out applications, etc. and get a better job), and come back a year later with the funds to be able to afford what you want.
Now, let me ask you a question. Is the 5 to 6 years of a car that you didn't really want but could settle for worth the tradeoff of spending a year busting your butt to improve yourself to get what you really wanted?
Do you get what I'm saying here? So many times we go out and we see a girl that is PERFECT for us but she is not interested. And by "perfect" I don't mean looks, or we DO find these girls who look amazing. But we end up getting shot down or not even getting a second look. In essence, then, you are forced to settle for the "lesser car", so to speak.
What if, instead of settling, you took a break from chasing these girls and you went out and FIXED YOURSELF. What if you got your life straight and built your own world around what YOU want instead of just settling for less because you don't think you can be any better. What if, what if, what if! Right?
Is the temporary pain worth the unlimited pleasure? To me, there is no doubt about it. But we live in a country and a world that wants results NOW. Actually, the phrase is "I want it YESTERDAY!" We're pushed to our limits because of our impatience, and as a result we don't have the TIME to forge ahead beyond our limits and set new limits!
Why are you letting people hold you where you are?
You only get one shot at life. And time zooms past you at ridiculous speeds. A day goes by, and then a week, and then a year, and before you know it you wake up a middle aged man looking back over your life wondering where the time went. You wake up with regrets at how you could've been so much more if only you had taken the time.
The roads of our lives are littered with people's failed dreams. We give up too much just to conform to what society tells us! Why? Why are you letting a bunch of people you don't even KNOW tell you how you should be living your life??? You're more than that. There is so much out there and so little time, and we spend all that time focusing on what is useless. We waste so much time.
So, I'm calling for everyone here to listen for a change. Listen to what I'm telling you, because I don't have a lot of time left here. We're here for a season, and then that season will pass and what's left is the result of the things you do TODAY!
TODAY
TODAY
We don't focus on that word enough. We focus on yesterday. We focus on tomorrow. But we rarely ever sit down and say TODAY! Right now! That's not in our vocabulary, is it?
What if, instead of focusing on tomorrow and on yesterday, we ask ourselves this question:
What can I do TODAY that will get me where I want to be tomorrow?
Isn't that a powerful thought? How much more enpowering is that statement to you than saying something like "I'll do that tomorrow" or "remember when...???"
So I challenge you today. I'm proposing a challenge if you are strong enough to take it.
Let's put our lives on the right track. Let's take every moment of time we have and use it! Stop laying around thinking and start going out and doing! Isn't that what others before me have been saying? Isn't that the pure definition of a "man"?
How do we do that? Well, we get a plan. You DECIDE what YOU want (instead of settling in the moment) and you go for it. You know what you are worth, go out and get it! It's time to step up to the plate and start doing something about your life. It's time you put your insecurities, your fear, your shame, your heartaches, etc. behind you and it's time to focus on what you WANT.
So make a list of what you want. Take the time, right now, and bang out a list of what you truly want. If you don't know what you want, then make that your primary goal to figure it out. Then make a list.
Once you have a list of what you want, then take each point you list and list the things you'd have to DO to get what you want! Get as detailed as possible. After you have these lists, then prioritize the list and put it in a sequential order (remember you can do two or three things simultaneously--so group what you can together), and make yourself a deadline. The, it's schedule time. At the end of this you will have a calender with things listed on it that you have to do on that particular day, and then do it! Whatever it takes, do it!
And stop wasting time. Do you like to sleep? Why? Because you've conditioned yourself to sleep. Some of us sleep WAYYY too much. I know, because I was one of them. There were days that I'd sleep 10 or 12 hours! How productive is that???
What if, instead, you conditioned yourself to sleep about 7 hours a night? Imagine going to bed at 11 and getting up at 6. How much more could you accomplish? I know that I would have an hour and a half before I had to be at work. In that time I could exercise, and have a DAMN good exercise.
What if, after you got out of class or off of work, you came home, ate your supper, and then spent the rest of your evening DOING something, instead of laying in front of the TV or sitting in front of your computer?
How much time do you spend on the computer when you don't HAVE to be (ie. not working)? How much time do you watch TV?
Are you getting what I am saying here? The idea is that you are WASTING moments of your life that you'll NEVER get back again. The hourglass is dropping away, and each grain of sand that slips through is one you'll never get back! So don't let it fall through without making the most of it.
Build your life from the inside out, and watch as everything starts to fall into place. You're struggling with women mainly because you have something off INSIDE, not outside. You don't need to learn seduction material to get quality women. You just need to learn YOURSELF! You're like a guitar that's been sitting around dormant for years. Time has put you out of tune, and now you need to re-tune your life.
So make the most of what time you have. Don't waste another minute. Open your mind to the possibilities that are out there, and strive to be more than you are right now.
