The word for today is vacillate. Yesterday, I was thinking through episode “146 - Reform” while I was out on a walk, and I realized my issue with constant reform or change. It turns into vacillation, which is essentially indecisiveness. If I wanted to get home on my walk, I had to pick a direction and stick with it. The same is true for your life. When you want to get somewhere, you have to decide on a path and move forward gradually. Do you want a better job? There are a thousand different ways to achieve that goal, and you’re welcome to explore them all. What you’ll find, though, is that you’re stuck in the same job you have now or state of unemployment if you vacillate between options. Today you’re convinced that you need to get a Master’s degree, tomorrow you think you just need to spend a year apprenticing, and the next day you’re back to believing that you won’t succeed unless you get that Master’s degree. Maybe we should all take Cousin Eddie’s tack and hold out for a management position.
Today’s concrete challenge is to make a decision. Stop vacillating and just choose. Write down your choice to make it official, and share it with a loved one for a little accountability.
If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will choose.”
I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode.
Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who picks and sticks.”
Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today.
Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
