Five increasingly painful truths that will drastically improve your life. It's harsh, so scroll on if you're not ready to hear it. 1. You said you'd start months ago. Now it's the end of the year. That time has gone and you're no further ahead. Call yourself out. Stop putting it off. No excuses and get started. 2. You know what you should be doing. Stop chasing shiny objects. Reaching your full potential will require you to do things that feel uncomfortable. Regularly doing hard things is a skill that can be built. 3. Most of your research and idea generation is procrastination disguised as productivity. 3. Figure out what you're afraid of and face up to it. 4. People who are less knowledgeable and intelligent than you will do better than you because they're taking action while you continue to be in research mode. 5. No one is going to sort your life out for you. Years will pass by and you'll be stuck here. Stop waiting. Take responsibility.
