Do The Work; Every Day.

When everything is going your way––the real work begins.
I’ve heard a similar sentiment before, and I thought I knew what it meant;
After reading “The Tools” by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels, the idea has a new meaning.
Most of us are striving to achieve the goals and dreams that have consumed us since we were children––those thoughts that would inspire us to fight through the pains of adolescents.
We had a target to focus on, and spend our life working toward achieving those benchmarks.
Harnessing our passion, and through hard work, dedication, and focus we begin to reach these achievements––in doing so we think our life is going to be easy from there on.
Then we realize that each new victory reveals a more difficult challenge;
No amount of success, riches or fame can “fix us”, like we imagined it would when we were kids.
But as adults we have the power to seek repair from the inside out;
Focusing on self-improvement, becoming aware and releasing the fantasy that money, possessions, success and fame are the answer to all of life's problems.
