#205: Do the want-to stuff again and again

Do you want to be suddenly successful? Sure, who doesn’t. But how?

To be suddenly successful, you must practice success gradually and consistently. But what should you practice?

Here’s what I suggest. What are you likely to practice consistently? That which you love doing. Doing what you love is easy to do and easy to practice. It’s the other stuff that’s not.

Doing what you want to do is ‘living’. Doing what you feel you must do, is ‘survival’.

There’s little satisfaction in living if it is based on doing the must-do stuff without ever getting to the want-to stuff. The only good reason to do some of that must-do stuff now is if it will help you get to the want-to stuff next.

But get to the want-to stuff you must, because if you do what you love doing, again and again, you will be rewarded by being suddenly successful.
