Why Not You?

Hey guys! I hope that you're doing as well as can be! :D

Today, I've been inspired by both an awesome friend and also an awesome video from a speech by Jim Rohn entitled 'Why Not You?'

Let's start off with the video. Jim challenges us as the viewer to go home today and to ask ourselves 4 questions.

First of all, why? 
Why go so far and learn so much and put yourself out there more and more than ever?
Why try and earn and share as much as you can, meet as many people and touch them both physically and with your actions as much as possible?
Why become the best version of yourself as is humanly possible?
Why try and do it all and see it all?
Why take on so much responsibility?
Why give that much away?

This then leads onto the second question; why not?
Why not see how much you can learn, how much you an earn?
Why not see how many skills you can develop and what kind of person you can become?
Why not see what kind of influence you can have and how many people you can motivate and inspire?
Why not?

Jim challenges us to take this personally - we're here until it's our time to go, so seriously, why not?

And from that comes question number three: why not you?
You've got the brains, you can make decisions, you can change your life, you can make your dream come true, you can become anything you want to.

And then the last question: why not now? There never was a better time.
Take the time now to not let your dream die and to constantly fuel it, constantly give it life, kindle it and watch it grow into a blazing fire. Breath your spirit into it until it becomes a fire that burns everywhere around the world.

Now I want to take the motivation and the truth behind that video and combine it with the idea of resistance that we often have against what is. We resist things that put us into discomfort that are disliked by our ego because it's hard and not easy and the ego doesn't want to have to be in that position. But you have to remember from that speech is it's only possible if you're willing to go as far as you can go, to do more than what you've done before, to not be afraid of discomfort and of failure.

It's so much harder said than done, believe me I know but what would happen if you accepted the discomfort and accepted the challenge? What would happen if you went into your work towards your dream, expecting hard work but being fully committed to doing it and completing it and achieving that goal? Where could you end up? Anywhere you want. Anywhere.

I hope that you guys enjoyed this post and could relate to it! For me, the ideas of both being the driving force of change in my life is coupled with the fact that I'm personally often so afraid and unwilling to put hard work in. You know you have to but you resist it and resist it and it creates so much stress. But imagine if you weren't afraid of putting in the work and getting a bit tired and worn but seeing the results? I'm incredibly excited to try it out and see where it leads me!

Just before I go, this channel here does a beautiful compilation of numerous both motivational and thought provoking speeches with mind blowing graphics which is where this speech was from so I'd definitely recommend checking it out! There are others too but we'll get to those some other day.

I hope that you're all doing well and I hope to speak to you very soon indeed!
