BACKBONE
Your Backbone is all you need to succeed. I don’t mean your actual backbone, I mean your passion, your drive, your why – the thing that fires your engine no matter the circumstances.
When you can dig deep and find this, it will allow you to build the backbone of your success. You’ll no longer wait for motivation to put in the work necessary to progress, you will just do it.
Many of us say we have a goal to do something, yet realistically it’s a DESIRE to do something. Take losing weight as an example, you say “I want to lose 20lbs” – do you know what it takes to get there? Are you willing to do the work to get there? OR do you just WANT to lose 20lbs?
It’s okay if the latter is your answer – for anything you say you want – that just means it is a desire and not quite a solid goal for you yet. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting or wishing something to happen, and might be enough to generate movement.
Desire on its own is not strong enough to get you to where you want to end up in the long term because it shifts from one thing to another – often to whatever is more convenient and easy to grab, meaning it seldom lands on our long term goals.
What we need for success is to establish what it is that is driving that desire. When we can get there, you don’t even really need to think about what it takes to lose 20lbs. When you know what is driving that desire, when you can see, feel, hold that backbone – you just do. When we can see and conceptualize the backbone of our desire, it builds strength in our character, it sparks a passion, it generates enthusiasm to GO, to DO, and to embrace anything that comes your way.
Are you ready to find your backbone?
