You have a goal. There is something you want to do that you haven’t been able to accomplish yet. You try, you “fail”, you get disappointed, and sometimes that disappointment turns into a temporary depression. And when you’re in that depression, what do people normally say to make you feel better?
Be yourself. Don’t worry, you can do this. Just be true to yourself.
That is about the worst advice I have ever heard. Who do you think it is that got you into this situation of feeling helpless, feeling worthless in the first place? Not me, not anyone else, you did. So why on Earth would you continue to “be yourself”? If the solution was simply to be yourself, then you wouldn’t be in this predicament right now.
What you need to do is be the person you dream of being. You want to be that person in the gym who looks like they can kick everyone else’s ass just by staring at them? Then train like that person. Eat like that person. Live like that person. You want to be the rich business man who is the go to guy for everything? Be him! Work like him. Give up sleep like him. Live like him.
Bottom Line Is:
If you haven’t gotten where you want to be, then stop being you (to a certain extent). Clearly, what you are doing is not enough to be where you think you should be at. Pick a role model. It doesn’t have to be anyone famous. You can be totally creepy and have it be that guy at the gym, or that girl who sits in the front of class and somehow manages to pay attention for the entire lecture. Learn their habits, enforce those habits, and become the person that you want to be. As easy as it is to keep up bad habits, it will be easy to keep up good habits too.
Happy Living ❤
