It's 9AM
How fast are we going?
I talk a lot about the power of daily discipline.
I’ve told you before that slow is smooth and smooth is fast,
and that you build muscle memory through a strict daily routine.
But there is a flip side of that coin.
Because there is a danger in getting too comfortable.
Routine by its very nature is doing the same thing over and over again,
which can be a slow downhill slide to mediocrity.
It is incredibly easy to get stuck in a rut where routine breeds indifference.
You find yourself vapor locked, staring at a massive, scrolling to-do list that feels impossible to accomplish.
I know this because I am a master of making checklists,
roadmaps,
and to-do lists.
But the listing, the planning, and the deciding is not the doing.
When you feel trapped by endless preparations,
you have to remember a different rule:
Speed beats gravity.
Meaning when you move fast,
you can defy the laws of nature.
If you want to break out of a rut and defy your normal limits,
you cannot wait for the perfect moment to get started.
That perfect time is a ghost—it doesn’t exist.
Instead of overthinking,
take fast, massive action.
reduce the friction between your idea and execution.
Have an idea,
make the idea,
and put it out there into the world.
Taking fast action forces you out of your own head.
When you move quickly, you don’t have the luxury of listening to the critics or your own internal doubts.
Momentum is the only thing that kills fear.
It breaks the paralysis of the “what ifs” that keep you stranded on the porch.
If you focus on the obstacle,
you become a critic,
but if you focus on the movement,
you become a creator.
My grandfather used to teach me about the sweat equity required to make things happen.
He said that hard work creates luck.
If you are good,
you have more luck,
but
if you are fast, the more luck you create.
By taking rapid, massive action, you manufacture your own luck
and blast through the obstacles that usually slow you down.
So, if the wind isn’t blowing for you right now,
stop blaming the sea and take to the oars.
The secret of success is knowing the difference between ideas and action.
It is time to scream “Execute. Execute. Execute,”
and set the wheels in motion.
Put your ass in the seat,
turn off the excuses,
and start moving faster than your doubts can catch you.
