Short-Term Feelings

"I don't feel like it."

Aka, the most common excuse my brain gives me for not doing something I said I would do.

• Getting out of bed early.

• Making a YouTube video.

• Going for a run.

It doesn't matter what it is – when it comes down to it, I almost always don't feel like doing it.

One of the best things I've ever heard was Will Smith saying he doesn't care what his in-the-moment feelings tell him.

He says that what he feels like in the moment never gets a say in his success.

How good is that?!

We think that when we let ourselves off the hook with our commitment, we are being kind to ourselves.

But really, we're doing the opposite – we're sabotaging our future self.

Don't let a short-term feeling sabotage a long-term gain.

Feelings only last for a moment.

Results are forever.
