Inspiration or perspiration
Oct 16, 2024
I love this quote because as a natural thinker, I love to spend time on my own, playing with creative ideas and "next practice" concepts.
But inspiration is not REAL. So it's important to step out of my comfort zone and area of love to MAKE IT REAL
To reach out. To have a discussion on problems that need solving. To share an opportunity that people can buy into.
I acknowledge my natural inclination is inspiration, but the world also needs perspiration. And so I focus more on what requires effort from me.
Why?
Because while it is harder - it is necessary. It is the other side of the same coin. It is the piece of the puzzle that has been missing, that the world needs.
Do you align more with inspiration or perspiration? What do you have to motivate yourself to do?
Because that is the thing that will unlock your next breakthrough. Not what you know, but what you find hard. The thing you have been resisting, is absolutely necessary to unlock your genius, and bring it to the world.
It takes both.
Don't resist. Insist on doubling down on what is hard. That's the truth of uncomfortable growth. Try it - take action - and see what happens!
