Get Ya Mind Right Monday #46: The tyranny of the should Mar 27, 2017

Show notes

The decision to live life at a high level comes with a range of emotions. I can't lie y'all… the past couple of days haven't been kind to me, and I even felt guilt for this. As I stumbled across Wayne Dyer's book, "Your Erroneous Zones: Step-by-Step Advice for Escaping the Trap of Negative Thinking and Taking Control of Your Life" and his concept of "The tyranny of the should", all feelings of frustrations and overwhelm were lifted. No false expectations over here man. You must remind yourself that the process is all worth it at the end of the day.

Elon Musk once said, "You are paid in direct proportion to the size and difficulty to the problems that you solve". In other words, the situation that you are currently in, is a pure product of your work ethic. Your effort will reflect your success. Are you doing what your dreams demand you to do?
