Hope you're having a great week.
I wanted to share something with you that I've been thinking about lately. One of our TRAIN HARD Men's Club Captains has a saying he uses all the time: "TOO EASY."
At first, you might think he's talking about something that doesn't require much effort. But I really like the way he explains it.
Here's his take:
"Every day, I get to choose between what's comfortable and what makes me better. The choice is mine alone. The consequences are mine, too.
After thinking about the consequences… the choice is TOO EASY. Do the work."
I love that perspective, and it got me thinking about how many decisions we make every single day.
In the moment, the choice might actually be pretty hard. Waking up early when you'd rather sleep in. Not having that last drink. Getting your workout in when you're tired. Having a difficult conversation you've been avoiding.
But when you zoom out and think about where those decisions will put you six months from now, a year from now, or even five years from now, the choice becomes a lot more obvious.
And the same goes for the other side of it. What happens if you keep choosing what's comfortable? If you keep putting things off because they're inconvenient or uncomfortable?
That's what I really like about this idea. All of those small, hard decisions eventually add up to something much bigger.
The decision might be hard today, but when you think about the long-term consequences, the choice becomes TOO EASY.
So that's my challenge for you this week. The next time you're faced with something you know you should do but really don't feel like doing, zoom out. Think about where that decision is taking you.
TOO EASY.
Have a great week!
