Have you ever felt like giving up something that was once important to you? You may feel like the end goal may never happen — do you stop or do you try harder? In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness, and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM https://iamalpham.com/ AaronMarino https://aaronmarino.com/ Pete & Pedro https://peteandpedro.com/ Tiege Hanley https://www.tiege.com/and ENEMY https://enemy.com/ says you will experience this at some point in your life. Here’s why and what to do about it.
Common reasons why people feel like giving up on their goals
- It is more challenging than you think it would be — unfortunately, nothing great was ever accomplished because it was easy. That’s why it’s so sweet when you accomplish it.
- You chase shiny objects — you are excited when you first think of it, but something else catches your attention because the 1st thing was harder than expected. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Pick one thing and work your nuts off — stick with it even when it’s not sexy. Stay focused when it’s not rewarding yet.
- You lie to yourself and say you don’t have enough time — we all get 24-hours a day. But the way that you use your time separates successful people and those who aren’t. Alpha’s superpower is being productive, and he’s figured out his personal productivity equation; thus, he can workout twice daily and run five companies daily. He highly recommends this Skillshare class to take your productivity to the next level: “Productivity Masterclass– Principles and Tools to Boost Your Productivity.”
- You hang out with losers — your friends may be the reason why you haven’t succeeded yet. The defeatist mindset will often pull you down; you need to be surrounded by uplifting people you can go to for insight and inspiration.
- You don’t want it bad enough — are you willing to sacrifice? If not, give up. It’s okay because life is short.
- You get bored — progress and success are motivating, but it’s easy to get bored and discouraged when it slows down.
- You don’t take breaks — to endure the journey and reach your goals, you need downtime. You need to take brain breaks so you don’t work yourself into a feeling of wanting to give up. You need to decompress to regroup.
Alpha M. Motivation
We all feel like giving up from time to time, but you need to push to get there. Don’t give up because success is on the other side of this feeling. If Alpha had given up when he had felt like quitting in the past, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is now. Don’t give up on your hopes and dreams — it will get better if you are willing to put in the work. Ultimately, these times may end up being the most rewarding and beneficial for you personally.
