Waiting For Shortcuts

The problems you still have. The items left on your to-do list. The challenges that haven’t been completed yet.

Certainly they’re the most difficult ones.

On our wait for a shortcut or some easy solve to the problem, to-do or challenge, they build up.

But if we see this early on, we can make the choice to let the problem, to-do or challenge go. No hard feelings, no shame, no disappointment. We know it was getting too daunting and we weren’t up for it – no problem, because there are other problems waiting to be solved. Time to move on.

We can also make the choice to put in the effort, the emotional labor, the focus and energy needed to solve, check off and complete. Better to make that decision early on than wait for a shortcut to appear.

Either decision becomes infinitely easier when we 1. accept that shortcuts rarely spontaneously arrive and 2. choose to draw on our willpower to either lean in or back out.

Stay Positive & Choose Early
