People and companies are often searching for the magic red pill. They want something or someone to miraculously rewrite the game with them as the heros.
Here is the newsflash: There is no red pill.
There is a conscious choice to take a tough and often unpopular route. It is the daily dedication to this continued choice, on a daily basis that will take us to new heights and help us achieve more than we have ever done before.
So here is the 2nd newsflash: There are red pills all around us. We just have to want to see them, and pick them up. Everyday.
How do you pick up a red pill?
- Choose to do something, however small, that you have never done before.
- Figure out the next step towards a goal that seems beyond your reach.
- Do another tough task on a road that is taking longer than you thought at first.
- Help a friend a colleague make a brave decision
- Realize that you need help, and ask for it (this is tougher than it seems)
- Allow yourself to dream. Then set a concrete plan to turn you dreams into a reality.
Start now, not tomorrow, not later.
