John F. Kennedy 0:39
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other thing, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
Eric Thomas 0:48
I think a lot of entrepreneurship and even personal growth is training yourself on how you respond to hard. Because in the early days, hard was, ooh, stop. This is a warning sign. This is a red flag. I should slow down or I should pivot. But the more I think about it as a competitive landscape, as I'm clear on what this path is supposed to look like, I get happier about the harder it is because I know that no one else will follow. And I think if you can shift from this is hard to no one else will be able to do this, then it flips from being this thing that you're like, oh, poor me to, oh, poor everyone else who's going to have to try. Find something difficult to do. You need that. You're not built for comfort or pleasure.
Eric Thomas 1:36
Like if that comes along, good. You know, if you have a day where you're comfortable and there's some things around you that give pleasure, have some sense and enjoy it. But don't be thinking that's what your life is aimed at. one of the things for people who are not where they want to be is that they have pain, like oodles of pain. And I remember when I was starting out, I was looking for passion. I was looking for purpose. I was like, I just want to find something that I'm motivated by, but it's the, it's the cat and the cheese. It's like, we're looking for cheese, but we have all these cat behind us and all we have to do is look and remember that they're behind us and chasing us. And so if you have the cat and you're staying in your current situation, you're being used by the cat.
Eric Thomas 2:19
right you're being used by the business owner who you know it doesn't treat you well and is you know and you're in this job that you don't really want to be in right or you're being used by the situation or the context of the relationship that you're in with the girl that you're like not that into right versus saying like this is terrible and because of this terribleness I now have something that I can run away from and then like rather than not looking at the knife or trying to take painkillers to not feel the pain like completely sobering up taking the knife and twisting it in your own heart and being like I'm going to do something about this. It's not avoiding pain. It's choosing from the very beginning, the alchemy, which is like you have these terrible situations.
Eric Thomas 3:00
It's like, and you have the opportunity to turn them into magic and skip or shortcut all the growth you're going to have in a really short period of time simply by twisting the knife and being like, I'm going to do something about it. If you do what is easy, complain about your situation, your circumstances. If you do what is easy, stand around and be a volunteer victim like everybody else. If you do what is easy, surrender and give up on your dreams. Become depressed and bitter and angry. Anybody can do that. If you do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do what is hard, keep coming back again and again and again. If you do what is hard, approaching strangers, talking to people in shopping malls, get up dressed every day, going out prospecting, knowing some way, somehow, with a spirit of expectation, somebody's out here looking for an opportunity.
Eric Thomas 3:53
And if you do that over and over and over again, somebody's going to show up. Somebody's going to say, I'm the one. You say, the emotionally immature man seeks out motivation to do something hard one time. The emotionally mature man uses discipline to do something hard a thousand times.
