Acceptance
Entropy is why everything in the physical world deteriorates.
However this does not carry over to the digital realm. I wonder if this is why we tend to favor digital over physical?
Accept that there are far more ways for something to go wrong than their are for it to go right.
How are you going to use your time, energy, and talent today?
Intentional habits allow us to direct our day instead of letting distractions and the trivial consume our lives.
Are you driven by distraction or by something greater than yourself?
Struggle (Original)
The sooner you accept the rule of entropy and how it translates to the fact that life is a struggle because of it, the sooner you can get on with the important things in your life.
It's time to let go of why your life is a struggle and redirect your energy toward what you can do about it.
Struggle is the seed of growth. Everything we learn in life came as the result of struggle. Struggle is what allows us to become better and accomplish more.
The more we have accomplished, the more we can accomplish. It's a positive feedback loop
Where can you create positive feedback loops in your life?
It's why habits is such a hot topic among the majority of self-help gurus. Habits work. Habits are the source of growth or decay.
Struggle makes us stronger. As we struggle, we expand our potential to achieve more and learn to honor the struggle the precedes accomplishment.
Is your life a hardship? It's not necessarily what you're doing isn't working, it's that it's not working relative to your perception.
To live in society is to be bombarded by messages that relative to others, what we are doing is not working.
A shift in thinking is to become aware that your gifts are adequate. That any amount of struggle is good and that easy is temporary.
Looking back at a brief period in my life, we had it good. Real good. There was an abundance of work and what I did was in high demand. I know that while I did capitalize on it, it was consuming. We missed a lot of other aspects of life because of work. And I see friends who are in a similar space. Their business is booming, but they are missing out on other things. But I've resolved that's totally normal and not something to look down on. In fact, I admire them because I remember the rush myself.
Power of Struggle (Rewrite)
Understanding that life is a struggle due to entropy can help you focus on important things in your life. Stop worrying about why life is hard, and start thinking about what you can do about it.
Struggle helps us grow. Everything we learn comes from overcoming challenges. It allows us to improve and achieve more.
The more we achieve, the more we can accomplish. This creates a positive feedback loop.
How can you create positive loops in your life?
That's why habits are popular among self-help experts. Habits work. They lead to growth or decay.
Struggling makes us stronger. As we face challenges, our potential grows, and we learn to appreciate the struggles that come with success.
Is your life difficult? It may not be that what you're doing isn't working; it's that it doesn't match your expectations.
Living in society means comparing ourselves to others and feeling like we're not doing enough.
Change your mindset by realizing your gifts are enough. Any struggle is good, and easy times are temporary.
Looking back, there was a time when my life was great. I had lots of work, and my skills were in demand. Though I made the most of it, I missed other aspects of life because of work. I see friends in similar situations – their businesses are thriving but they're missing out on other things. That's normal, and I admire them for enjoying the rush of success.
