Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
Here is what I discovered today in our Dadly Daily Declaration readings from Chapter 7 of Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop. The title of this chapter is the personal assertion: “I am relentless.”
- The key to becoming relentless is to focus on the problem in front of you. Give it your full attention. Become someone who progresses even when all seems lost. The answer is always out there; all you need to do is find it.
- Then you can move forward to your next obstacle. And you give that obstacle your full attention until it’s taken care of. Then there’s the next and the next and the next.
- By doing this, you never have to wonder where you’re going. You’re not worried about how many miles you have left to walk. You become someone who loves obstacles rather than avoids them because obstacles are your keys to success and growth. You simply take one step at a time.
- And if you come upon something that’s blocking your path, you find a way to get over it or get around it. Then you keep walking.
- Relentlessness doesn’t mean charging into the gray headfirst, swinging and flailing your arms every which way. It’s focused, determined action. Again and again and again.
- When you’re not sure if you’re following the right path, when you’ve been knocked down a few too many times, it’s completely fine to get discouraged, hell even defeated. What’s not okay is to stop.
- You can always lean on relentlessness. When you have nothing else, you have relentlessness.
- You’re making progress. With each exercise, each step , each movement, each action, you get a little better, a little closer.
- Even when you don’t see anything happening, it is. Even when you’re not quite hitting the mark, you’re making progress.
- When you’re trekking through the jungle, you don’t know if you’re three days from civilization or thirty minutes. All you can is walk. The only way out is forward.
- Sit up, straighten your spine and repeat: “I am relentless.”
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Rather than worrying about whether you should keep going or turn back, press in relentlessly. Relentlessness has one direction, and that’s forward. It only has one option, and that’s to keep the momentum going.
There is no giving up. There is no quitting. There is no changing of plans.
