I was thinking yesterday, how much I dislike the "status quo". You know doing the same old..same old. Like the cow that creates the cow path. We get up every morning, slug our way to the bathroom, pee, come back to the sink, scrape the fangs with toothpaste. Flex a muscle in the mirror, wash the face, go to the kitchen, start breakfast...you know...etcetera...etcetera.
Ever see a farmer and his cattle herd? Same exact thing. Routine! Ho-hum, nothing changes.
Then you have the people around you...promising the same great plans of glory and success.
Read the social media and the politics, the sports, the news is ALL the SAME!
Mediocre and in the middle of the road! Lip serving people that do no more than talk about the great thing that will happen and NOTHING happens.
I'm over it! Talk is cheap, and mediocre is a slow death. Status quo needs a kick in the pants.
I'm asking...don't TELL me what you are going to do...DO IT and tell me what you've learned, how you felt, what are you doing with it now?
If you are going to change...CHANGE!
If you don't and you say you are, I call Bull$%it!!!
Change the "Just Do It" to "Got it Done"
I wrote an article a while ago about my three levels of commitment.
1. I'll Try- Weenie phrase meaning you have no damn plan to do anything, but I don't have the balls to flat out tell you that for fear you may climb up my 3SS and tear it a new width.
2. I'll do whatever it takes- Yea, I've heard that and sometimes whatever it takes...well...it takes forever.
3. This level is the only one I give people and now will be the only one I expect in return....DONE- Whatever I said was going to happen has already happened. Here is the end product, the result! DONE! No complaints, no excuses...Just "EF'n" DONE!
