It's been more than a year since I last write here. Resistance got hold of me and procrastination penetrates me relentlessly. However, today mark my first revolution against them and here's my way of showing 'Come At Me Bro!' :)
We all yearn for the ultimate secret towards success. The shortcut, easy to accomplish route. The superb industry where the products sell itself, no need for sales pitch, no competition and is easy to enter - your ideal world. Some people might be jumping from industry to industry or company to company or even country to country in search of this perfect world but you and I both know that it didn't exist. Yet, people never stop trying.
The energy wasted in such meaningless pursuit can be put off to better use. The basic block of success is built from showing up everyday and committed towards our current endeavor. Whether you like it or not, whether you had a morning flu or diarrhea, whether you had a late night party or slept early, it doesn't matter. Your responsibility is to show up and do the work. A simple commitment to show up every time and deliver makes all the difference.
Often we hear people saying that we have to get out of our comfort zone and comfort zone is a nice place to be. The idea of getting out of it completely may haunt a person into paralyzing fear. If it is as such, why not expand your comfort zone? Once upon a time, you do not know how to ride a bicycle. The idea of learning it is out of your comfort zone but you do it anyway because you want to hang out with your friends. The moment you successfully learn how to ride a bicycle, riding bicycle become WITHIN your comfort zone, thus your comfort zone expanded.
Similarly, applying it to our work, every day in every way, expand your comfort zone. Maybe it's doing follow up call to your KIVs, maybe it's getting all the documentations in order, there is something we can do that can expand our comfort zone on a daily basis. The plus point of things you can do within your comfort zone? Your Resistance won't be battling you and ask you not to do it. But Resistance will sure fight like hell when you just started to do it and Resistance never go away. It is a good thing actually, as those things that Resistance ask you not to do is exactly what you MUST do.
