It Should Be Hard

Summary

• If you find something is hard, that's actually a good thing because it means less competition; most people won't do hard things.
• The difficulty level to achieve your goals acts as a barrier for others, making it easier for you to stand out.
• Bigger goals come with bigger obstacles, and overcoming these is what makes the goal rewarding.
• Fewer people reach the top because they're unwilling to tackle the tough challenges that come with big aspirations.

How To Take Action

I would suggest starting by changing how you think about tough tasks. When you hit a hard spot, remind yourself, "This is great, most people won't do this, so I have a chance to shine." That's your first move.

To handle the big goals, let's break them down into smaller parts. Focus on one small challenge at a time. That way, it's not so overwhelming. Overcoming each small part will get you closer to your big goal.

It's key to stick with it, even when it gets rough. Remember, the reason fewer people reach the top is that not everyone wants to deal with the hard stuff. So, if you keep going, you're already ahead of the game.

When facing an obstacle, ask yourself, "What's the one thing I can do right now to make this easier?" Maybe it's learning a new skill, asking for help, or just taking a five-minute break. Do that one thing, and you’re one step closer.

And don't be afraid of the hard stuff. If it's tough, it means you're on the right track. Every time you push through a challenge, celebrate a little. That will keep you motivated to tackle the next one.

So let's get to it! Approach the hard things with excitement, break down the big goals, keep at it, and you'll be on your way to standing out and achieving great things.
