Is it just me or have you attended a programme, read a good book or had a massive encounter that has gotten you super excited about life and your future but have after a few hours or days lost that “excitement”?
You have? Oh cool, you get me.
I am taking stock of my life in
all my years on earth and I see that I have gathered steam and momentum on so
many occasions and have lost the same steam on a few more.
But why is that so? How does one
maintain this steam/momentum/excitement?
By striking the metal while it is hot!
I have seen that when you catch
the excitement of a prospect or of a new venture or possibility, it is very
essential what you do within the first few minutes or hours that you catch it.
In other words, set something in
motion right away.
Because once you do, it is oftentimes
very had to turn back. Stick your foot into the room!
If only I could tell you the
number of good ideas and intentions I have left to go cold because on so many
occasions, I left for tomorrow, what I
knew could be done in that day… or in that moment.
Do not be like my past.
I see that in order to “strike
when it is hot”, I have to be super aware of myself in that moment. Seize every
emotion. Be aware of what the next step is. That is the first key component of
maintaining excitement.
Have you been like me? What are
you doing to maintain excitement?
Thissssssss!!!!! The temptation to procrastinate and to defer the 'action' to later is super risky. I've also realise the need to be careful who you share the excitement with at the material moment. The slightest negative/'unencouraging' remark can kill the excitement instantly.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally true! I remember how I forwent my first real business idea because of a naysayer. sometimes the loss can be pretty damaging.
