Stop “When”-ing and Start “Winning”

There is a saying about “Shoulding” all over yourself. “I should have done this” or “I should do that”; should-ing isn’t doing you any favors.

The same goes for the word “When”. “When I get time” or “When I have motivation” will keep you from #winning.

Life isn’t always a competition. We don’t need to beat everyone else just to prove our dominance. But we need to Win. We need to find ways to level up. We need to be better than we were yesterday, and that is #winning.

There will always be someone more athletic, taller, handsome, richer, or whatever than you. You cannot be the best at everything in life. It’s impossible. I don’t care how good a basketball player Michael Jordan was, he was a terrible baseball player. But you know he did really well? Put in the work to give him the best chance at winning no matter what he did.

Turn the “When” into a “Win” my taking proactive steps to get there. Set your goals. Give yourself a time frame. Break the goals into milestones. Start achieving. The “when” turns into a hard date and not a whimsical maybe or pipe dream.

The time will come for you to #win but only when you make the conscious decision to start.
