Take some action for your future self

MindsetBusiness
Written By Danielle OReilly

Action won’t always be what current you wants, but I can bet it’s what future you will be grateful for.

I used to assume that all the ‘successful’ people I saw woke up with a spring in their step, desperate to go on their 7am run, itching to get to their desks for work, taking risks with 0 fear and feeling motivated 100% of the time. Long story short I assumed they took action with ease.

And that assumption was DETRIMENTAL to me because I started waiting for the motivation to come and the fear to leave in order to take action. But the more I run my business, the more I realise that ain’t IT.

Success isn’t about being waiting until it feels easy, it’s about taking action regardless, knowing that the long term benefit of doing outweighs the short time comfort staying.

Action happens when the long term benefit of getting out of your comfort zone outweighs the short term benefit of staying in it.


So whatever it looks like to you today - sending a pitch email, going LIVE on Instagram, moving your body, getting that extra bit of work done - take some action for your future self👏🏻
