Why I Am Not Taking Action?

[Jhonny]

Why i am not taking action i have been watching this stuff for 2 years but still i feel like stuck in the rut. Not moving in the real wold. What is stopping me?
Cal me coward, loser. But they don't seem to affect me much. I know the obvious answer to this. Go and take action. But it is not happeing.

[K VIL]

what action are you trying to take?

[Jhonny]

@K VIL to make money, to have a career. Actually the problem is i have inherited some money and i have lived on it for so long that the spark for a career is no more there.

[Jhonny]

so i should wait to hit the rock bottom and see that inherited money ending?

[Jhonny]

i have a ton of limiting believes too. 

[K VIL]

i wrote a poem

looking beyond is easy 
i can see it in them what i need
looking inside is sad
cause what i want is outside
what I want I don't have

do you want to inherit for the rest of your life mi boy? then the answer is inside.

@Jhonny Start by clarifying goals and working on your optimism.  If you don’t have clear goals you’re not even in the game.  Make a list of goals like this: things I want to accomplish in 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months,  1 year from now.

Another good one.  Do the exercise at the end too.

Why would you not take action? Assume everything is meaningless. Why would you not then take action? It is not very truthful to not take action then. If you say you don't want to then realize that you doesn't even exist. It's not a very good reason not to. Thinking like this makes me face some of the excuses that are holding me back. To face them I meditate and do self inquiry.

Choose to do something. Don't care whether you are really feeling it or want it. Don't give your mind leverage that way. It is your best bet anyway and not doing anything seems selfish to me. I could help others in my life and so can you. Help yourself first now.

If you get overwhelmed when trying to do something that just means you didn't do it once. You can grow and try again, because eventually you will be able to.

I've been following leo for 4 years, I've improved in some areas but I still dont take action. I know all the theory I'm a sage, but I feel so comfortable in mediocrity that I dont want to risk my current comfort taking actions that creates me fear, anxiety, sacrifice...

You will only change when It's a matter of life or death.

I recommend Dr. Jordan Peterson's future authoring program. It's cheap and it asks you the gritty questions you need to answer to come up with a clear vision for your future.

 

 

G'luck pal!

@Jhonny Please don't randomly get a girl pregnant bahahaha. My goodness!!!

But the advice to do something "extreme" is solid.

Clearly, you don't have motivation to take baby steps or consistent action so throw yourself in the deep end of a pool and watch yourself make changes out of necessity.

What might the deep end of the pool look like for you?

@Jhonny name ONE thing you like to change about yourself. 

For example: You want to run 5km every day. To get the habit going, start small and easy. Take a 5 minute walk every day.
Start with something ridiculously easy. Then build from that. One habit at a time.

@Jhonny Consider starting where you are. Start with you. If you don’t have wants that are supported by motivation, take a look at your; food, alchohol & drugs, video games, fitness, monkey mind / lack of meditation, vision board. Write down where you want to be on these things today, tape it to the wall, and let it go. Don’t give it another thought.

@Jhonny Pick one thing. Work towards it. It may seem too straight forward but your mind will find the how-to with little problem once you hace the destination.
