I have been experiencing this set of problems in one form or another for the entirety of my adult life. I can think of ideas all day and have no problem getting them started but inevitably always reach the same conclusion, an abandonment of both the spirit and implementation. Something I heard recently from Jordan Peterson on this subject has really got me thinking more discriminatorily about my efforts. "If you want something, what does it mean to want it? And what it means is to sacrifice whatever is necessary to get it, because otherwise you don't want it. You don't want it unless you are willing to sacrifice for it. And if you don't want it, you're not going to get it, because you are scattered." It's a simple truism that is easy to forget, but Peterson is reminding us that anything worth pursuing will require a necessary sacrifice of time and energy. Getting to the heart of what is worth that sacrifice could be key to finding success in your endeavors. Godspeed. |
