Put Your Ass (Where Your Heart Wants To Be) – 7 Insights for Dreamers to Become Doers
For writers, artists, & entrepreneurs, the ability to self-reinforce is more important than talent.
So, how do you self-reinforce?
Understand these 7 insights:
- “Resistance” (AKA inner critic) is the enemy. “The most formidable antagonist of all resides inside each of our own skulls.”
- Station your physical body in the spot where your dream-work will and must happen. Want to write? Sit down at the keyboard. Want to paint? Step up to the easel. Want to act? MOVE to Hollywood.
- Once you move your body to the proper location, you’ve demonstrated commitment – emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. You’ve moved from the Known to the Unknown.
- Hero’s Journey. The hero commits by taking bold action. Stepping into the Unknown is self-empowering. You are no longer the same person. The universe comes to the hero’s aid.
- Your body of work exists as an alternative future. It can be, should be, and wants to BE. But it is not guaranteed to be.
- Frame of mind as you go to work: THIS is the day. Today is the Super Bowl. THIS is the job. There is no other job.
- Resistance is always strongest at the finish. Slay the dragon.
