Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 217
Title: If You Really Want To Be Happy, Then Do The Hard Things You Need To Do
Someone sent me the email which
is the fulcrum of this broadcast.
The reply I gave him would
surely impact your life too if you are in same exact situation as he, so you
can apply the response to your own life.
Here was the email I received:
Dear Dr. JTF,
I am a 38-year-old college dropout whose childhood dream was to become a
psychologist like my grandfather.
Right now, I am a librarian at a city library who moonlights on the side as a
life coach.
I enjoy my day job, but my life-coaching gig is the work that really moves me –
it gives me a chance to indirectly dabble in psychological counseling. This
side gig has started to gain traction, and several of my recent clients have
told me that I would have made a great medical psychologist.
But if I go back to college and get my degree, then go to graduate school, then
complete my internship and dissertation, and FINALLY begin my own legitimate
psychologist/counseling practice, it will take me almost eight years from
today. And, in eight years I will be 46 years old!
I’m trying to decide what I want to do.
Do you have any thoughts or advice for me?
Sincerely,
An Inspired Reader
And here's my reply:
Dear Inspired Reader,
Sometimes asking the right question is the answer.
Therefore, I have one for you:
In eight years from today, how old will you be if you don’t do it?
Sincerely,
Dr. JTF
I hope this reminds you that TODAY is the day to START…
Forget the past. Forget your age. Today is the first day of the rest of your
life.
The important question is NOT: Are your desires going to be easy to
achieve?
The important question IS: Are your desires worth the hard work?
Deep down you know the answer to the latter is YES!
You have to do hard things to be happy in life.
The things no one else is
doing.
The things that frighten
you.
The things others can’t do
for you.
The things that make you
question how much longer you can hold on and push forward.
Why?
Because those are the things that define you.
Those are the things that
make the difference between existing and living – between knowing the path and
walking the path – between a life of mediocrity and a life filled with
happiness and success.
Of course, the hard things are often the easiest things to avoid. To
procrastinate.
To make excuses.
To pretend like they
somehow don’t apply to you and your life situation.
But reality always rears its head in the
end.
And the truth about how
ordinary people achieve immense happiness and incredible feats of success is
that they step out of their comfort zones and do the hard things that their
more educated, affluent and qualified counterparts don’t have the courage,
drive, or determination to do.
So for your own sake, start taking action on the hard things TODAY.
I guarantee, you will be blown away at just how remarkable you really are and
just how amazing life can be.
And of course if you're struggling with any of these, know that you're not
alone:
Feeling "stuck"
on what the next steps are for your big goal (such as taking a new career
path or finally discovering the work you were meant to do)
Staying
positive... even through difficult times like a divorce or another large
life change.
Wondering how to get clear
on the next steps to move forward when you feel overwhelmed with choices
or a lack of time.
All of these paths are
different, but the solution starts in the same simple place -- are you asking
yourself the right questions?
What if I told you that you could bring your own personal questions straight to
me like this reader?
How could having my 1-on-1 professional coaching insight on YOUR sticking
points keep you moving forward... no matter how confused, afraid or
overwhelmed you felt?
What if you could hear my SPECIFIC ideas about how to harness the possibilities
in YOUR own life starting from exactly where you are?
Spoiler alert: you don’t have to wonder.
In the same way that the most accomplished athletes, actors, and entrepreneurs
need the guidance of an experienced coach, so do you!
Give it a try today
Until I come your way
