Just want to quickly share this bit from the book ‘The 5 Second Rule‘ by Mel Robbins.
There’s an important concept in psychology put forth by Julian Rotter in 1954. It’s called “locus of control.” The more that you believe that you are in control of your life, your actions and your future, the happier and more successful you’ll be. There’s one thing that is guaranteed to increase your feelings of control over your life: a bias toward action.
Forget motivation; it’s a myth. I don’t know when we all bought into the idea that in order to change you must “feel” eager or “feel” motivated to act. It’s complete garbage. The moment it’s time to assert yourself, you will not feel motivated. In fact, you won’t feel like doing anything at all. If you want to improve your life, you’ll need to get off your rear end and kick your own butt. In my own world I call that the power of a push.
I’ve only read a little of the book so far but it’s already helped me personally to get more done and feel better about my day. I highly recommend it!
You can probably borrow it from your local library or you can get it from Amazon. 5-4-3-2-1 Do it now!
