I’ve had people reach out to me pretty consistently online or even in person asking for help on how to build daily habits.
About 10 minutes into those conversations, the same person who was just asking for help is now describing in detail how people should keep habits and how important it is to keep daily habits.
I usually indulge in their rant because they were fired up.
Once they are done, I usually ask them about their own lives and they then drag on to about how they’re really struggling to keep habits themselves. They can’t seem to do small things every day to progress.
They have no habits themselves, yet they just spent 15 minutes describing how people should keep habits and felt compelled to share with me how others should approach implementing them according to a process they only have read about in the new NYT best seller.
DOG.
I’m tired of people now a days just rambling on about what others should do, all while heeding none of the advice they are giving out. All because they memorized a few quotes from a book, article, or Instagram post.
To me, it doesn’t matter if you understand the process of something if you can’t follow the process yourself.
I’ve been keeping the same daily habits for over two years now. I just try not to dictate others to follow them because it works for me.
If you’re giving out advice, make sure you’re living it first before dictating how others should live. And for the most part, just leave people alone.
If you’re getting unsolicited advice (like this post here), make sure you take a peak at who is giving you the advice and what their actions are. Don’t take what they’re saying at face value.
Synopsis: If all you’re doing is “spreading awareness” about something you read about and not following it up with any action, you’re a chump.
Don’t listen to chumps.
In the wise words of Marshawn Lynch, be about that action, boss!!
