The more time you spend on the right things, the faster you will create what you want to create. ~Chad Howse

We all know that we’re in control of our fate and future and whether our goals in every aspect of life go accomplished or not.
If you don’t know that fundamental truth, you’re a victim. Your life is the result of something or someone else’s actions. You have no control. But that’s not you.
You know that your future is dependent on your present. That is all.
Then you also understand that your finish line – that end goal, the place in the sun – is pushed back or pulled closer by the amount of focused time you spend on doing the right things.
If you do the right stuff all the time, your big goals are brought closer and closer with each correct action.
If, however, you spend most of your time in waste and sloth, your goals are pushed further and further away with each wrong action.
And yes, laziness is wrong.
It’s evil.
It’s a fucking sin because it pushes why you’re here into oblivion. It takes your potential, the gift you have, the way you can benefit the rest of humanity, and it degrades it.
Focused work. Meaningful learning and practice. Time spent in the moment with people you love.
These things make you better. They allow you to grab the rope that’s attached to your future, potential self and the things you’re capable of accomplishing, and it allows you to reel them in.
With each moment spent on waste, the rope slips, your grip loosens, and your goals drift further away into the future.
Step 1: identify what strengthens you and brings you closer, but also what degrades you.
Step 2: have the balls to remove those things that pull you away from who you can become, and implement those things that strengthen who you are.
Life is simple.
Spend your time on the right things.
That’s it.
It takes time to understand what those right things are, but most of us know. So get moving. Take action. And pull that potential closer every damn day.
