Do you have a friend who studies last minute the night before and gets an A? The friend who plays all day and then starts to cram at 2AM and gets that A? Or the the who parties all night, wakes up at 5AM and writes their 15 page essay and somehow manages to get an A-? And don't you hate that friend? It sucks.
or barely put any effort, do it last minute and earn an A?
Majority of us would choose the latter.
Why is that?
What is so horrible about the idea of putting so much of yourself into something in hopes to achieve great results? But we all rather take the easy route and hope to reap the same benefits. The thing is we're lazy. We rather work half as hard and earn just as much.
But that's not how it should work, and actually that's not how the world works.
Maybe we're afraid of failure. We're afraid to put yourself out there and failing because you end up with nothing and you're hurt. And you might look dumb. But if you were to just half ass something and not get the desirable results, then you see it as well deserved and you didn't really risk anything so it's no big deal.
But if you were to put in the effort and excelled at it, wouldn't you putting in all that effort make it so much more worthy? Would you feel so much more accomplished? And if you tried and failed, doesn't it say something about your character that you tried and gave it your all?
We, and certainly I, half ass a lot of things. I rather play it safe. That needs to end. I want to tap into that passion where I am not afraid to put myself out there. Where I hunger for it and am willing to work hard for it, sweat for it. We're meant to do some things in this world with all our heart, mind, body & soul. We need to start taking risks, and risk ourselves instead of half ass-ing things to get what we want. We need to start earning it.
Share what it is that you want right now.
Show me that you want it.
