We all have goals that we would like to achieve and dreams that we
would like to fulfill, but it doesn’t matter what you are trying to become
better at, if you only do the work when it’s convenient or exciting, then
you’ll never be consistent enough to achieve remarkable results.
I can guarantee that if you manage to start a habit and keep sticking
to it, there will be days when you feel like quitting. When you start a
business, there will be days when you don’t feel like showing up. When
you’re at the gym, there will be sets that you don’t feel like finishing.
When it’s time to write, there will be days that you don’t feel like
typing. But stepping up when it’s annoying or painful or draining to do
so, that’s what makes the difference between a professional and an
amateur.
Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way.
Professionals know what is important to them and work toward it with
purpose; amateurs get pulled off course by the urgencies of life.
David Cain, an author and meditation teacher, encourages his
students to avoid being “fair-weather meditators.” Similarly, you don’t
want to be a fair-weather athlete or a fair-weather writer or a fairweather anything. When a habit is truly important to you, you have to
be willing to stick to it in any mood. Professionals take action even
when the mood isn’t right. They might not enjoy it, but they find a way
to put the reps in.
There have been a lot of sets that I haven’t felt like finishing, but I’ve
never regretted doing the workout. There have been a lot of articles I
haven’t felt like writing, but I’ve never regretted publishing on
schedule. There have been a lot of days I’ve felt like relaxing, but I’ve
never regretted showing up and working on something that was
important to me.
The only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by
doing the same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with
boredom.
Chapter Summary
The Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak
motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of
their current abilities.
The greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom.
As habits become routine, they become less interesting and less
satisfying. We get bored.
Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated. It’s the ability to
keep going when work isn’t exciting that makes the difference.
Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the
way.
