You can blame the weather, the economic climate, the other person who cut in on you on the way to work, or even the family member who hasn’t tidied up after themselves for your lack of progress in your business or  your life. But what does the blame game ever achieve?

Absolutely nothing!

It all comes back to taking full responsibility for your own future – by taking the ‘bull by the horns’ as it were, and pushing through whatever opposition is standing between you and success.

It has nothing to do with feelings. Because if you’re living a life dominated by how you feel – nothing will ever get done.

And read what Seth Godin wrote: ‘Why do you need to feel like something in order to do the work? They call it work because it’s difficult, not because it’s something you need to feel like.

Very few people wake up in the morning and feel like taking big risks or feel like digging deep for something that has eluded them. People don’t usually feel like pushing themselves harder than they’ve pushed before or having conversations that might be uncomfortable.

Of course, your feelings are irrelevant to whether or not the market expects great work. Do the work. Ignore the feelings part and the work will follow.’

So how does that make you feel?

And as one person said, that the only place success comes before work is found in the dictionary.

So push through…

Oh and look at that, it’s already time to get back to work.
