Give Up

There is some saying out there that goes along the line of "It's hard to beat a person that never gives up".

I get it, if you want something you have to pursue it all the way, you have to have that singular focus on it. You need to battle through the ups and downs and keep the end in mind. These clearly are all things that we all know. 

The problem, if you want to be successful, you need to give up a lot. This has been something I have been struggling with for a while.

I have continued to invest in relationships that just were not working, I have given up on them, not in a angry way but in just realizing that I have done enough. The door is still open but I cannot force anything.

I have continued to invest in doing crap that did not work for me just because I felt obligated to do it. I am giving it up. Not because I want to let people down but I realize that when I do something just because I feel obligated, no one really wins.

I have continued to judge myself compared to everyone else I am going to have one of my best business years ever, yet the only thing I focus on is what I am not, what I am not when I see everyone else and what they are doing. Scrolling through social media, just reminded me of everything I am not, I am giving it up.

I am giving up feeling guilty for putting myself first and the people that really matter first over those that really are not that close to me but ask for so much and give so little.

I am giving up believing that I am the only one that struggles. When you struggle it is easy to believe that everyone else has it all figured out. Especially with all the "experts" on social media telling you that they do. No one has it all figured out, everyone is struggling. You are not alone, give up the belief that it is true.

The biggest thing I am giving up is the mindset that has kept me back for so long. The belief that I could not have it all, that I could not get what I wanted. The belief that there was some sort of barrier between myself and success that I could not overcome. The belief that it had to be successful or happy rather than successful and happy. I have chosen to believe in the genius of and rather than they tyranny of no. It is time to go all in on what I believe.
