Different is a choice
Tuesday, October 10
We see people who accomplish amazing things, people who completely changed their life around, people who overcome extreme adversity, people who make a difference. And when faced with the question of why we aren’t pursuing our potential like they are, we write it off as if they were given something we weren’’t. “Yeah, but they’re just different.”
The thing that’s different about them? The choices they made.
They didn’t develop an elite mindset on accident. They chose to be positive every day.
They didn’t develop discipline on accident. They chose to be disciplined.
They didn’t lose the weight on accident. They chose to do the work to get healthy.
They didn’t figure out how to overcome difficult on accident. They chose to go head first into their adversity and built the muscle of resilience.
They didn’t become great at their craft on accident. They chose to put in the hours and pushed through failure to be elite.
For most of their lives, they were just like the rest of us. They settled for average. The thing that makes them different? They made a choice. They chose to not settle. They chose to take action rather than make excuses. They chose to take ownership.
The good news? Those same choices are available to you and me every day.
Transformation is just a choice away.
