When you were younger, or maybe even now, did you wait for something to just "click?" I remember thinking, "Someday, it will just click and I'll be a grown-up. I'll wake up early all the time, I'll dress in professional clothes and look put together, I'll have money saved up..."
Then none of those things really happened. That automatic "click" just kept moving further away from wherever I was. Here's the issue: we can't keep doing the same things we are doing and expect it all to click for us. We have to MAKE it click.
You want to wake up early and feel good about it? Then go to bed early and don't hit snooze in the morning.
You'd like to be taken seriously as a young professional? Then start acting like one and take yourself seriously.
We all want to have money to do things. So, work hard and save some money.
It seems so very simple. Action precedes results. No problem.
So, why did it take me (and likely many of us) years to get up at 5:00am and NOT hit snooze or need 3 cups of coffee to start the day?
One word: DISCIPLINE.
We can't say we don't know what to do. We know if you want to get up earlier, we have to set our alarms and wake up. If you want to run faster, you have to start running...fast. We just figured that out, right?
It's not that we don't know. It's that we don't DO.
You know what to do, so do it. Not just for a day or a week--have the discipline to do it until you achieve the results you want. Then, KEEP doing it to maintain your success and set new goals.
So, what is it that you want? And how are you going to get there?
Put in work to make it all "click" and it will all go "boom" for you.
Stick with what you know and you'll always be able to have what you want.
