“Just do it.” Three simple words that are simply powerful.
Nike made this phrase famous, but it’s not just a marketing gimmick. All you need is to “just do it” and you will reach a crucial tipping point in which you will go from saying and planning; to doing and proving.
It’s pretty scary to take a plunge into something like “just do it” implies. But here is how you go about it.
Don’t pick a time or day
“Just doing it” shouldn’t be precise; it should come to you out of the blue. There’s no need to pick a day or plan ahead.
Get pissed, get frustrated
I’ll be honest; I’m pissed and frustrated as I write this article right now. But it’s giving me an unbelievable amount of motivation, and even a little adrenaline to go for it.
Instead of fighting, crying, or complaining when you’re frustrated, funnel that energy into focus and action.
Remember that time’s a wastin’
Every month, week, day, hour, and minute you get closer to your end. Nothing will motivate you more to live than death.
Think less, act more
It might be risky, it might get you in trouble, but you must act more than you think. Forget the “what if’s.” F**K all the naysayers and whatever they tell you! Don’t worry if you fail. Don’t think about the money you’ll lose or gain. Be a little stupid and take a lot of action.
Lose these words and phrases
These aren’t real excuses.
“I can’t.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
You don’t need money to take the plunge.
“I don’t have enough time.”
Yes you do! I don’t care how busy you are. You don’t have enough time to wait.
“I don’t know where to start.”
“I don’t know how.”
Start learning. Get your feet wet and you’ll learn along the way.
“Later.”
No, now!
Stop acting like you’re busy
There are a lot of people out there who push papers around and act like they have so many places to go and so much to do. In reality, they’re just avoiding the actions that will get them what they really desire. May be it is because they’re scared or doubtful.
I don’t care who you are; you have time to “just do it” and chase something you want or need. You’ll just have to get less sleep, lose free time, and make lots of other sacrifices.
Know when you’re reaching your tipping point
One of the biggest obstacles keeping people from “just doing it” is not recognizing when they’re about to hit their tipping point.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “is this all there is to life?”, then you are closely approaching your tipping point. The same goes if you feel like you’re about to have a nervous breakdown.
You can either succumb to your emotions; or you can stand up, fight, and just go for whatever will make you happy. Once you cross the threshold towards your tipping point, your mind will never be the same and nothing can ever stop you; except yourself.
List what you don’t like about your life
Perhaps it is focusing on negativity a little too much; but grab a piece of paper and write down what you don’t like about your life. May be you don’t have enough money or worse you aren’t happy enough. For those who really want change, it’s enough for them to take the plunge.
Keep in mind:
“Just do it” is much easier said than done. And it should be that way. It separates the people who deserve it from those who don’t.
So what are you waiting for? Get to it! Close your browser window, turn off the tv, put down the book or magazine and get going!
“行動(dòng)吧”這是三個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短但是卻很有力量的三個(gè)字。耐克讓這句話出名了,但它不過(guò)是一種營(yíng)銷(xiāo)技巧。 你所要的就是“行動(dòng)吧”,這樣你就會(huì)達(dá)到一種非常重要的境界,在這種境界里,你再也不會(huì)光說(shuō)不練,有規(guī)劃而無(wú)行動(dòng),替代的是:“做并證明你做了”。要在一些事情上像“行動(dòng)吧”一樣地冒險(xiǎn)還是很可怕的。不過(guò),下面的一些東西可以引導(dǎo)你……
別去找時(shí)間或日子
“行動(dòng)吧”不明確的,它可能是偶然的時(shí)候就來(lái)到你面前。你沒(méi)必要去選日子或者計(jì)劃。
惱怒時(shí),失望時(shí)
我坦白; 我現(xiàn)在寫(xiě)這篇文章時(shí)很老火很失望。 但它卻給了我一種難以置信的動(dòng)力,甚至在做的時(shí)候有點(diǎn)刺激了。當(dāng)你失望的時(shí)候,把精力放到注意和行動(dòng)中去。而不是掙扎,咆哮或者抱怨。
記住,時(shí)間是在耗費(fèi)
每月,每周,每天,每時(shí),每分都在靠近你的盡頭。你求生的欲望總是超過(guò)死亡……
想法少一些,行動(dòng)多一些
它也許是危險(xiǎn)的,它也許會(huì)讓你陷入困境,但你必須用得更多的是行動(dòng)而不是想法。忘記很多的“如果---會(huì)是什么”。他們不過(guò)是跟你作對(duì)。不要擔(dān)心失敗。也不要擔(dān)心會(huì)失去還是得到資金。鹵莽點(diǎn),用行動(dòng)。
仍掉這些話
這些都是借口:
“我做不到‘。
”我錢(qián)不夠“。冒險(xiǎn)是不需要錢(qián)的。
”我沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間“。是的,你的確是那樣。不管你有多忙,你沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)等。
”我不知道從哪里下手”。
“我不知道怎樣做”。接手了解,投入實(shí)踐,你會(huì)知道你的方向。
“以后吧”。
不行,就現(xiàn)在!
停止瞎忙
有很多人,他們把文件腿在一邊,假裝有很多地方要去,有很多事情要做。 實(shí)際上,他們是在逃避行動(dòng),這也是他們期盼的。或許是因?yàn)楹ε拢驗(yàn)闆](méi)把握。我不管你是哪種人。你有時(shí)間“行動(dòng)”,追求你自己想要的 。你得減少睡眠,失去自由,做出很多的奉獻(xiàn)。并且追逐您要的事或需要。 您¡ ¯ll只 必須得到較少睡眠,丟失空閑時(shí)間和做全部其他犧牲。
清楚什么時(shí)候達(dá)到你的境界
讓人們堅(jiān)持“行動(dòng)”的一個(gè)大難題是不清楚他們什么時(shí)候出擊。倘若你也捫心自問(wèn):“這就是我要的生活么?”于是你就靠近你的境界了。同樣地,如果你覺(jué)得你會(huì)有挫折的時(shí)候,要么你屈服于你的動(dòng)力,要么你挺直腰板,勇敢戰(zhàn)斗,朝著能讓你快樂(lè)起來(lái)的地方前進(jìn)。一旦你跨進(jìn)了境界的門(mén)檻,你的意志將會(huì)變得不一樣了,除了你自己,沒(méi)有什么能阻止你。
寫(xiě)下生活中你不喜歡的
也許它會(huì)讓你看到太消極的一面,但是撕下一張紙,寫(xiě)下你生活中不喜歡的東西,比如是你缺錢(qián),或者是更糟糕地你沒(méi)有開(kāi)心可言。對(duì)于那些真正想要改變的人來(lái)說(shuō),這些足以讓他們嘗試冒險(xiǎn)了。
記在心上
“行動(dòng)吧”是說(shuō)起來(lái)容易做起來(lái)難。它本來(lái)也是那樣,把該收獲的人和與此相反的人區(qū)別開(kāi)來(lái)。所以,你還等什么呢?去吧!退出你的瀏覽頁(yè)面,關(guān)掉電視,放下書(shū)刊雜志,開(kāi)始行動(dòng)了吧!
