This has been one heck-of-a week. Between running business, coaching clients, and training students for a tournament that was held this past weekend – life is crazy!
Today I’d like to share a thought that repeated itself a million times in my head this weekend.
Maybe it was the winning, maybe it was the losing, maybe it was comments that were said, or maybe it was just a reflection of my own mind.
While the comment wasn’t made verbatim – I heard a resounding voice say “I wish it were easier”.
From financial success to kicking people in the head; everyone seemed to be saying “I wish it were easier”.
I can’t tell you how many times I laughed to myself when I heard this message come through. “Why are you laughing at these poor people?!” you say? Well it is because of the words of the late and great Jim Rohn.
His was the voice that responded to this question over and over in my mind. “Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”
I laugh because there have been many times in my life when I wished it were easier. When I first heard this message – I almost felt ashamed I would ever think such a thing.
Of course! Why would I wish it were easier when I could just be better? I don’t think it’s going to get easier – but I bet I could get better! Better at business, better at communication, better at leadership, better at kicking people in the head!
Sometimes people ask me “what the heck is going on in your head?” I’ll tell you right now, it’s a little voice that is saying over and over: Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.
Until next time,
Have a FANTASTIC day!
Stephen
