it´s time I tell you a secret…
Don´t Complain For The Outputs You Didn´t Gain, From The Work You Didn´t Put In.
13.04.24
We all want a simple life.
We all want to have that freedom to do whatever we please whenever we want to do it.
We want the flexibility to work on our dreams while also being able to produce meaningful work/projects.
Or some of us just want to have the right opportunities to recharge and live life 24/7.
And that´s cool. That´s awesome.
But what about this: we all don´t know for sure what a simple life may look like or even worse… feel like.
We simply don´t know the answer to the question.
What does a simple life look like?
We can name it: having financial freedom, stability, getting a joyful sense of being alive, small chats with meaningful people, intentional and driven projects…
But that has nothing to do with a simple life.
At least… not the “simple” definition we wish this type of living could have.
The work you didn´t put in.
That´s the catch here.
The work you didn´t put in determines how enjoyable your “simple” life can get.
Because why would we want a simple life?
Simple does not mean easy. But it does mean one thing: we need action for it to become a clear path to follow.
That´s the definition of simple: a clear set of actions.
Simple, right?
Well, the secret I want to unveil to you is this: you won´t achieve any dream life you could have for yourself…
2 weeks from now,
8 months from now,
2 years from now,
Anytime from now…
If you neglect the steps or actions you know you should take right now.

Don´t complain.
Don´t complain if you don´t achieve the sales you´d wanna have reached by next month if you know you didn´t put in the work you needed to put in.
Don´t complain if you don´t get disciplined enough to start a new personal growth era if you neglect the habits and promises you told yourself you´d stick to.
The only reason why you are not obtaining the right things you´d wanna have in your life… at any given moment… is you.
You not putting in the actions, the reps you needed to put.
So don´t complain. Go out there and execute the steps needed.
That´s the secret to unlocking any progress you want in life.
