Rick Torrison breaks down four lies that make people quit: it's too hard, I'm a failure, we're alone, and obstacles are too big. He argues these lies create feelings that derail purpose, and that reconnecting with your actual purpose is how you move past them.
Do you ever get tired? Have you ever wanted to just give up? What causes us to want to quit? And what are those things that motivate us to keep us going? What causes us to quit? I think it's because we've chosen to believe the lies. Here's just a few of the lies that we believe and I'm sure you could add some of your own. The first is it's just too hard. Leads to its self doubt, self criticism, and this I can't attitude. Then we have a lie that says I'm a failure and it stops us before we get started. What about the lie that says we're all alone? It leads to discouragement and isolation and finally the lie that tells us the obstacles are too big, causing us to take our eyes off our vision or the horizon and focus on the waves around us. The key is to tap back into that purpose and that passion. Trust me, it's in there. Our feelings are real, but they're not always based on a truth. The lies create feelings to keep us from our destiny. The truth creates feelings that propels us into our destiny.
