There are no shortcuts

There are no shortcuts.

If I had a pound for every time somebody said this to me “Tim, would it be possible to speed this process up?” Most of us now have a tendency to think we Amazon Prime our lives.

Everything that we want is at the touch of a button or on an app. We can book flights on an app, we can order our lunch on an app, we can order birthday cards on an app, pretty much whatever you want is right at the end of your fingertips. So, no wonder when we decide that we want something we expect it to turn up within the next two minutes. Unfortunately, there are some things in life that you just can not shortcut.

You can pay for coaching, you can read books, you can attend seminars and you can enrol in online programs. In fact, I’m a huge fan of all of the above!

There is one particular part of the journey that cannot be pushed, cannot be forced, and cannot be shortened. That thing I am talking about is self-awareness. Self-awareness is a process, it’s an ongoing process of self-discovery, and the more that you push it and force it, the less authentic it becomes.

To truly find out who you are can take time, patience and persistence. Self-awareness is not a destination, it’s a never-ending magical journey.

In order for you to transform your life, you need to ascertain exactly what experiences, beliefs, and associations have led you to the position that you currently find yourself in. Until you identify what it’s taken to get you to your current position, there is no hope in hell that you’re going to turn your life around. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

He are my top five tips if you want to completely turn your life around.

1. Get around the right people in the right environments.

2. Invest in yourself more than you invest in anything else.

3. Appreciate what you’ve got right now and how you can use it.

4. Give out with no expectation of receiving anything back.

5. Have a vision that is so clear that it makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning.
