![THE WORK
---------------------------------------------- I’ve noticed a pattern throughout all that I do: when I put in the work, good things happen. For those of you who don’t understand what I mean by ‘put in the work,’ let me take a step back.
.
In life, we make commitments (to ourselves, to others, etc.) and what makes commitment meaningful is the implication that you will FOLLOW THROUGH and FUFILL the promise that you made regardless of circumstances. In other words, that means honoring your word long after the mood that you said it in has left you (@inkyjohnson).
.
In order to do that, you have to PUT IN THE WORK THAT IS REQUIRED and take action every single day, regardless of how you feel. This is important because if you can’t put in the work for yourself, how can you expect to do it for the people in your life who are counting on you (friend, spouse, child, etc.). Like @chrispowell puts it, this is called PERSONAL INTEGRITY and if you don’t have the ability to keep your own promises, then how can you expect to keep the promises that you made to others.
.
The point is this: putting in the work (or not) BECOMES HABITUAL. If you want to be the best version of yourself, you need to make that COMMITMENT and FOLLOW THROUGH especially on the days where it is inconvenient and unappealing. If you want to the best for the people in your life, then you need to PUT IN THE WORK REQUIRED.
.
This means different things for different people, but whatever it is for you...
.
WILL YOU PUT IN THE WORK?
