We've been sold on the idea the we can have it all, be it all and do it all.
But what is it costing you? What are you sacrificing?
I help my clients have success without sacrifice. But the truth is, success without sacrifice is a lie.
You don't have to sacrifice everything but you do have to sacrifice some things.
The problem is that you have sacrificed too much. And, you have sacrificed the wrong things and it's hurting you in the long run.
So, the question becomes, what are the wrong things to sacrifice and what are the right things to sacrifice?
Let's start with what the right things are that you should be sacrificing.
You will have to sacrifice being lazy, making lazy decisions, blaming others for the results of your lazy decisions, wasting time, and being too 'busy'.
Here's the thing, busy is a distraction from connection. You might think of being busy as being productive, but the truth of the matter is, being busy is the biggest time waster we have invented that gets nothing done and keeps you from the things that matter the most to you.
Most motivational gurus with sell you on the idea that you can have it all and you don't have to compromise. You can have that work/life balance.
The truth is that there is no such thing as balance. Balance does not mean equal and you are working yourself to death trying to have it all and balance it all.
So what can you do to have a happy, healthy successful life?
It's about establishing clear priorities and setting boundaries. Most of us have no idea how to have clarity around our priorities and boundaries.
But as Roy Disney once said, "When your values are clear to you, decision making becomes easier".
Use your values to make decisions and guide your actions and take responsibility for the decisions you make.
How you spend your time, money & energy is a direct reflection of your values.
When you base your decision making on your values and priorities, you'll be willing to sacrifice what doesn't move forward or support your priorities.
What are your priorities? What are your values? What are you willing to give up? How are you going to give it up? What are you going to say no to to protect your values no matter what?
These are deep questions where the answers aren't always clear. And clarity, is one of the main struggles and challenges that I help my clients develop when it comes to the sacrifices they are making in their lives.
