Recently reminded a client of the power of finishing the hard stuff, first. I talked to him a bit about why he’s busy as shit vs. busy as he wants to be. He is not finishing the tough tasks first. He, much like most, is working from the top down instead of the bottom up.
Do the hard stuff nobody sees, first. Get shoot in your eyes about who you are, what you believe, how you want to live and work, and all the big why questions. Next, get clarity of your work’s aim, your opus. Once the hard fought clarity comes, you begin to put PA into place that leads to PD (productive disciplines). Once you get yourself PD seared, you are as busy as you want. PD’s are freakin’ magic. These don’t come easily or cheaply. They require discipline, really difficult discipline. Once they’re seared, however, they just get done, kinda like falling out of bed in the morning (if you’re a morning person).
I define my opus simply as “peace and play.”
The world, remember, is full of people who’ve chosen peace and pay. In other words they’ve chosen to keep quiet and keep getting a paycheck. Funny, this usually ends up with Big pay, Big position, Big power and busy as shit. Out of control, you know. Normal.
My client? He’s gaining clarity within and rediscovering what he already knew. There is power in his pen. His version of peace and play is coming a few rinses from today. Are you as busy as you want or busier than shit? Are you headed toward peace and play or buying the lie of peace and pay? Don’t trust your perspective, ask your bride, brother, best friend, husband, team, or teen. Be careful asking your teen, they have a damn hard time lying.
Live hard. Love ❤️ harder…
