Happy Monday Mindset!
I was feeling overwhelmed last week with a lot of things on my plate.
Maybe you can relate.
Then I stopped and remembered an email that my friend Chris Cavallini wrote, which I’ve included below.
It rewired my mindset, and figured you would too.
–
Feeling overwhelmed is a privilege.
It means there’s an opportunity for growth.
And you can’t expect growth to feel comfortable.
You can’t expect to improve and not feel stressed, like you’re not good enough, or are taking on too much…
That’s what growth requires.
It requires you to push yourself past your current limit.
It demands that you do more…
Faster, better, and with a good attitude.
So yeah.
Expect it to be uncomfortable, stressful, and challenging.
You feel overwhelmed, not because you’re incapable of doing what you’re doing…
But because the old version of you is dying.
So a stronger, more evolved version of you can emerge and take its place.
Transformation demands change.
No matter who you are or what you’ve already done…
Change is painful.
But nowhere as painful as the shame you’ll feel if you quit cause it was harder than you thought it would be.
Imagine having to tell your kids one day:
The reason you never did anything great with your life…
Wasn’t because you didn’t know how.
Or never had an opportunity.
But because you quit every time things got tough.
Or folded any time you felt overwhelmed.
NOT A CHANCE!!
Embrace every difficult moment of the journey.
Be grateful that it’s hard.
That tells you you’re on the right path.
It feels hard now.
But soon, it won’t.
Because eventually you’ll be operating at a level where it’s just normal.
Stay Disciplined & Win,
-Chris Cavallini
