Why it's so easy to succeed

This thought keeps popping up in my head: It's so easy to succeed because it's so easy to fail.

It's so easy to just give in and have that junk food. It's so easy to just say, "Forget it, I'll go to the gym tomorrow." It's so easy to just say, "Ya know what? I want that candy."

Most people give in. They can't say no to themselves. They can't resist.

But who is in control here?

Here's the problem we all face: this attitude of giving in and being easy on ourselves is contagious. It slowly spreads to other aspects of our life.

"Well, I'll just hand in my project at work even though it's not that good...it is what it is."

"Eh, I'll stop studying now. I'll pass the test. It doesn't matter anyway."

"Ugh, I'm so tired. Screw it! I'm sleeping late."

There's a million examples in which going that extra few inches makes all of the difference. And we face that choice of whether we want to go that extra inch or not every single day.

Here's an experiment:

Raise your hand in the air.

Now raise it one inch higher.

See what happens when we're pushed?

We can always try a little harder. We can always be pushed a little more.

It's that inch, that extra effort, that makes all of the difference.

It's so easy to succeed because it's so easy to fail. It's so easy to just give in. It's so easy to just stop running when our legs are uncomfortable. It's so easy to just say, "This is too uncomfortable, I'm having that junk food!"

But when we're hard on ourselves, life gets easier.

And it's the hard that makes it great. It's the hard that brings us the satisfaction and fulfillment and sense of accomplishment.

That = joy.

Besides, if it was easy everyone would do it. But nothing worth doing is easy. Because if everyone could do it, it wouldn't be valuable. Scarcity = valuable.

So let's go that extra inch for the rest of today. Let's push ourselves a leeettttle bit harder. Let's say no to something we'd usually say yes to.

That inch is where all the joy is in.

Enjoy it.
