I realized that when someone keeps saying that “they want to do something”.. actually they do not.
Here’s the logic.
If someone really wanted to do something - maybe "start a business" or "start exercising" or "start eating more healthy"... then they would already be doing it.
By saying that ‘I want to do it'…. they actually do not.
A lot of things go by in our life with the excuse we keep making to ourselves — “it takes time… it takes time".. or "the right time has to come!”, the actual fact is that - it only takes a moment's decision to make things happen.
Think about it.. (if you are married), it only took you that split-second decision to say ‘yes’ to your fiancé.
The time factor was just to explore the relationship. But the decision was made in one second.
So today’s message to you is..
If you have been pushing things forward for a long time.. you probably need to question yourself on why you do not want to do that thing.. even though you keep telling the world that you want to.
Once you understand the actual stumbling block, which is mostly your own ‘fear’, then just make a “split-second decision” that I will, and take action — move forward.
It’s sometimes the first step that’s the hardest thing.
After having read, heard, and watched a crapload of stuff over the years when it comes to “personal development”… it just comes down to ONE thing…
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse. Period.
If you understand this one thing.. to the depth of what it really is.. your life will change.
What do you think? Does this make sense?

Speaker 1: You know, whenever I hear people say that I really
00:00:04
Speaker 1: want to do something, I really want to do something.
00:00:06
Speaker 1: You know, they actually do not.
00:00:08
Speaker 1: And here's the logic, you know, if somebody really wanted
00:00:11
Speaker 1: to do something in their life, maybe start a business
00:00:13
Speaker 1: or start exercising or eat more healthy, lose weight or whatever, right?
00:00:19
Speaker 1: If they really wanted to do that something they would
00:00:21
Speaker 1: already be doing it. And by them just saying that
00:00:23
Speaker 1: I want to do it, they actually do not. And
00:00:26
Speaker 1: the logic behind it is this, you know, a lot
00:00:28
Speaker 1: of things in our life,
00:00:30
Speaker 1: I mean, things go by, we keep making excuses to
00:00:32
Speaker 1: ourselves saying that, you know, it takes time, it takes
00:00:35
Speaker 1: time or the right time has to come or, you know,
00:00:39
Speaker 1: the planets have to align or whatever. But you know what?
00:00:42
Speaker 1: It only takes a moment's decision to make things happen,
00:00:45
Speaker 1: just think about it. If any of you who are married,
00:00:48
Speaker 1: it just took that split second decision for you to
00:00:50
Speaker 1: say yes to your fiance.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: Ok. That was a time factor to explore the relationship.
00:00:55
Speaker 1: And there was a probably there would have been a
00:00:56
Speaker 1: courtship period. But the, but the second, the decision was made,
00:01:02
Speaker 1: it was done, right? It was a split second decision.
00:01:05
Speaker 1: So a lot of people who say that they, that
00:01:07
Speaker 1: they really want to do something, they really want to
00:01:09
Speaker 1: start a business, they really want to be successful, they
00:01:11
Speaker 1: really want to be more healthy, they need, they want
00:01:13
Speaker 1: to start exercising.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: They actually do not because they really want to do it.
00:01:18
Speaker 1: They would already be doing it.
00:01:20
Speaker 1: Now, the second part of this whole thought process is
00:01:24
Speaker 1: why do they say it then?
00:01:26
Speaker 1: Ok.
00:01:27
Speaker 1: And I'm putting myself in my, you know, in that
00:01:30
Speaker 1: situation where previously I should say that I want to
00:01:32
Speaker 1: launch a business, I want to do something of my own.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: But due to society's pressures and I wanted to look
00:01:38
Speaker 1: good in the eyes of society, I just never had
00:01:40
Speaker 1: the courage to make that decision at that point of time.
00:01:43
Speaker 1: Ok.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: So that was a time factor. So my message to
00:01:48
Speaker 1: you today in this podcast is if you have been
00:01:50
Speaker 1: pushing things forward for a long time, you probably need
00:01:53
Speaker 1: to question yourself on why you do not want to
00:01:57
Speaker 1: do that thing,
00:01:58
Speaker 1: even though you keep telling the world that you want
00:01:59
Speaker 1: to do it. Ok. And once you understand the actual
00:02:04
Speaker 1: stumbling block, which is mostly your own fear or could
00:02:07
Speaker 1: be just fear of what other people think of fear,
00:02:10
Speaker 1: fear of conforming to society. Once you are able to
00:02:13
Speaker 1: understand what it is, just make the split second decision
00:02:18
Speaker 1: and set it into action and just move forward and
00:02:20
Speaker 1: you don't have to tell anybody about what you're doing.
00:02:23
Speaker 1: Ok. There are a lot of things, I just do
00:02:25
Speaker 1: it and then I tell them that I've done it
00:02:27
Speaker 1: right now. I'm taking up, you know, that kind of
00:02:29
Speaker 1: an approach to my life because I don't want to
00:02:31
Speaker 1: announce to anyone or just tell anybody that, hey, I
00:02:33
Speaker 1: really want to do this.
00:02:36
Speaker 1: That's not the space to be in.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: So you'd rather be in a space where you plan
00:02:42
Speaker 1: to do something, you do it and then you tell
00:02:44
Speaker 1: the world I've done it.
00:02:47
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes that first step, that's the hardest thing.
00:02:51
Speaker 1: And after having read, heard, watched like a big load
00:02:55
Speaker 1: of stuff in the personal development world and over the
00:02:57
Speaker 1: last many, many years and then gone through so much,
00:02:59
Speaker 1: it just comes on to one thing. If you really
00:03:01
Speaker 1: want to do something, you will find a way. If
00:03:03
Speaker 1: you don't, you'll find an excuse, period. End of the story.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: If you understand this one thing to the depth of
00:03:10
Speaker 1: what it really is, your life will change.
00:03:14
Speaker 1: And I wanna throw the question back into you.
00:03:17
Speaker 1: What do you think about this? Does it make sense?
00:03:19
Speaker 1: Does it make sense on the fact that if somebody
00:03:21
Speaker 1: says that I want to do something they actually do
00:03:22
Speaker 1: not want to do it.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: I hope this was a bone moment for you. Please
00:03:27
Speaker 1: share your comments below on what has been your biggest
00:03:30
Speaker 1: takeaways from this particular episode, those just 3 to 4 minutes.
00:03:34
Speaker 1: And I want you to reflect on this. And if
00:03:36

00:03:39
Speaker 1: blog Zach dot com, I would like to share below

00:03:43
Speaker 1: world that you wanted to do? But you've not done
00:03:45
Speaker 1: and be open and honest about it.
00:03:47
Speaker 1: And I would like you to make a commitment to

00:04:04

00:04:07
Speaker 1: or in other words, stop complaining about why you always
00:04:12
