The Mindset Mentor
How to Stop Procrastinating and Finally Take Action

I need to read more books. It's like the way the example I always give is if you want to become a really good basketball player, you will never become a good basketball player by watching other people play basketball. Oh, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to watch every NBA game and then maybe I'll get better. No, get your ass on the court. That's the only way to do it.

So if you need to build up a skill set, it's not about reading. It's about actually doing the thing. And the faster that you start doing the thing, the faster that you become better at it. So stop waiting and stop delaying. You want a cold hard truth? Each day that passes is one day closer to death. Are you getting any better? You don't become something great by waiting.

How to Stop Procrastinating and Finally Take Action

Nobody ever just became great or did something amazing in this world by waiting for the perfect moment. And I want you to understand this and I want you to hopefully it really hits home, okay? Time is a construct that humans create as an excuse to stay the same. Think about that for a second. Time is a construct that humans create as an excuse to stay the same. What do I mean by that?

It's just, you know, the earth is spinning and, you know, it's just the sun going up and down is really just the... The sun's going, just us spinning around the sun. And each time the sun goes up, it's just a spin.

And each time the, you know, the seasons go around and we have a new season and we have four seasons that go by, it's just the earth that's going around the sun. So it's this construct that we create though of like, I throw time in the mix and I start to blame time for the reason why I'm not where I want to be yet. I'll give it some time. I'll start in the future. Oh, I'm progressing.

I'm slowly getting better. It's like, no, I don't want to use time as an excuse anymore. I need to go, I'm only going to get better by doing the thing, so I might as well start doing the thing. The best version of you doesn't just happen on some random day in the future. It's built every second that you're alive.
