Stop Complaining and Start Building
Create - Build - Aspire
In a world caught up in arguing, fighting and complaining, we find ourselves wasting too many minutes, hours and days on mindless time wasting activities.
It’s time the focus shifts.
Get off the keyboard wars. Quit scrolling your social media timelines all hours of the day. Move out from in front of the TV.
There are three questions you need to ask yourself. Ponder them. Let them rattle around in your head. Then create a focused call to action around them.
How are you using your time?
What are you working towards?
What’s your ultimate goal?
Excuses no longer fly. Excuses are reasons we tell ourselves to avoid doing hard things. You can always find excuses for yourself. Nobody wants to hear them. So end the excuses game!
Maybe you’re waiting for the perfect time. But when is that time? Who lets you know? There is never a perfect time. So stop waiting.
All the opportunity is available to you. The technology, tools and resources are more accessible today than any other time in history. You just have to have the drive and desire.
Start going after what you aspire to be or do. Don’t like something? Change it! Think you can do something better? Do it! Build a business. Build a story. Build a legacy. Just start building.
There is one quote you should ask yourself almost daily. It’s from the legendary author and researcher Jim Collins.
“If you had only 10 years to live, what would you stop doing?” Jim Collins
I will end with a quote and the full video of Jeff Bezos’s commencement speech at Princeton University. A message to hear from one of the greatest builders ever.
“In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.” Jeff Bezos
