Ask yourself how can I make this easier? The one thing that we would do is at the end of every one of my one on one coaching calls that I had with with people, we would have assignments and we'd have goals that they wanted to work on before we talk next week. When you look at life and success and happiness, all of those things are not difficult. We make them way more difficult. And so what I wanted to have my clients do is they would come up with their assignments, we'd figure out what they want to work on, we'd mutually agree on it and then I'd say how can you make it easier on yourself to do xyz? So instead of just saying here's the thing, it's like humans naturally want to find the easy route. Can I find the easy route to taking the action that's necessary? If you can make everything easier, why not make it a little bit easier to take action.
