Why We Fail When Looking Too Far Ahead

🧩I BET YOU’RE FEELING PUZZLED..

Imagine a puzzle..

Still in the box,

A couple hundred pieces shuffling around..

Now imagine, you’ve somehow convinced yourself that the best way to solve the puzzle is to shuffle them around, guesstimate how many pieces there are, and keep looking back and forth at the complete picture..

Never once thinking to dump out the pieces..

That’s how most of us operate,

We keep negotiating the pieces, “maybe most will fall out of the box already solved..”

Peek at the completed picture..

Dread how many pieces there are..

Peek back at the completed picture..

THIS IS WHAT HAVING ZERO STRUCTURE FEELS LIKE..

Structure your life,

Piece together the fitness,

Then piece together the side hustle,

Then piece together your relationship..

Create systems for putting together one piece at a time day after day..

This is what creates the clarity to see the bigger picture.

This is what makes the impossible puzzle seem do-able.

Lay out the pieces in front of you, then get to work to make those pieces fit

We’re too busy admiring the finished product we never look down to the pieces in front of us, and question if the pieces we put together even fit our vision correctly.

BOOM..
