Today I'm going to be talking to you about what I believe is the most important skill that you can have for improving your life. And before we do that I want you to just think about this for a second. Have you ever felt that you wanted to change your life but you feel like there's a lot of pressure with the idea of changing your life?
Like the idea of changing your life can kind of feel a little bit like it's too much. Like this idea of becoming a new person is exciting but because Becoming a new person and all of the things I need to do and all of the habits that I need to create, it feels overwhelming, doesn't it?
So overwhelming that you might not end up doing anything at all because you start thinking about all of the stuff that has to be done. You get this paralysis by analysis. If you're the type of person who is part of this podcast and you show up and listen to it often, then you want change. You're the type of person who's ready to change your life and to change yourself to change your life.
But when we think about being changed and changing forever... It's this unknown. And thinking about all of that change and all of that unknown, the brain can kind of freak out. What does that mean? It's scary. Like if you think about change to the brain, it's a threat to the brain. That's how the brain sees change because your brain wants to focus on safety.
And so your brain can tend to shut down. It's kind of like standing at the bottom of a massive mountain, staring up at it and thinking to yourself, oh my God. how the hell am I gonna get all the way to the top of it? What if you just stopped thinking about the entire mountain? What if you just started thinking about the next step?
I think the key to change is to take some pressure off yourself, to take it all and make it simpler. Change doesn't have to be so scary. Like for me, I like to simplify things. If you've listened to me for a while, you know that.
So instead of obsessing over who you want to be a year from now or what you want to be 10 years from today, why don't you just ask yourself the question, who do I want to be today? And so I think the most important skill for improving your life is to have that long-term vision but short-term focus. So you have long-term vision of what you're trying to do, but your focus isn't focused on long-term.
Your focus is focused on short-term. And I mean very short-term. I mean today. And so let's break down what you need to do to actually make this work. Because focusing on long term can backfire on you. Like, don't get me wrong, big picture, vision is great. You need it to make sure that you're heading in the right direction. You need a North Star in your life.
