In my opinion, there is a really big fallacy around ease and flow and having all the things, doing all the things that you love and following your passion. I wanted to clear some things up around what this really means.
For me I am multi-passionate, you could say, so I’ve had to really hone in on what it is that I want for my future. From a long term perspective, what it is that I want for my life, the outcomes that I want the practices that I want the clients, the business, the relationships, all of those things.
I think when we’re tunning into what we really want for our life, we can have this misconception that it doesn’t require any sort of work, or maybe around the fact that it needs to be all ease and flow and that we don’t have to do the things that we don’t want to do.
We can get so caught up in it feeling good and wanting to have all of the things to feel good, however, in my experience, anything worthwhile that we want to accomplish for ourselves takes discipline and takes work and takes focus and consistency and persistence.
The book by Jon Gorden “The Carpenter” Page 94 says, “Anything worthwhile takes time to build. We all want success now, but that’s not how success works. After all, if we had immediate success, we wouldn’t build the character we need to sustain true success. The struggle, adversity, triumphs, and victories are all part of the building process and we must embrace all of it.” and in my opinion this is so true.
So, yes there are things that are going to feel uncomfortable, some things you won’t want to do, some days will feel hard so this is why it is so important to be aligned with what you want as a bigger goal.
Yes, it needs to be aligned.
You need to drop into that and feel what you want for your life, career, family, business, does this line up with the outcome? If yes, if it’s aligned then this is what will help you keep going, what will help you persevere when the things you don’t want to do pop up, when the challenges arrive, when you feel like quitting.
A question I really love to ask myself around this is, could I do this for free, forever, if the answer is no then for me then it doesn’t happen. This key question is a driver to help me make decisions about outcomes however, it may not work for all of you.
I’ve chosen this question to continually ask myself because quite often what happens in business and I’ve experienced this for myself, is we work in our business and careers for most of our lives long before we see the fruits of our work, so you really need to love what you are doing because this is what keeps you pushing through when you don’t want to do the things you know you need to do to get to where you want to go.
You can’t plant a seed and then keep digging it up and checking on it, you just got to plant the seed and keep watering and keep doing all the things and eventually what will happen is the beautiful plant will grow, so it’s the same thing with our labor of love. It’s about finding that thing that gives us purpose and meaning for ourselves and then doing the things, doing all of the things consistently and consistently.
And, yes sometimes it feels like you’re getting nowhere, sometimes you do get tired of not seeing the results come to fruition yet, sometimes it can feel like you’re a little bit lost, or like groundhog day, but it’s that driving force at the end of the day, that motivation to keep going because you love what you do, your passionate about what you’re doing and you continue to hold that long term goal of what you want to accomplish.
Anything worthwhile, takes consistency and takes persistence and effort and doing some of the things that we don’t actually enjoy.
