A Vicious Cycle I'm Going Through... | Weekly Wisdom

A weird paradox where I crave a simple life, aligned focus, crystal clear clarity and direction, yet my life reflects the opposite.

I have recently discovered a cycle I have fallen into. It goes a bit like this:

• I say yes too many times to new opportunities so my plate starts to overflow

• Because I have my focus spread too thinly across things I don’t get anything done at the quality that I desire 

• I start to crave focus and alignment back in my life

• So I begin culling all of the things I have onboarded that are not serving me

• I feel great and finally can focus on the things that matter

• A few months of dedicated focus starts to gain traction and people can see it

• I get bombarded with opportunities because everyone wants a piece of you when you are doing well.

• I say no to most but because the quantity of opportunity is high I still say yes to too many

• Then I end up at the top of this cycle and I repeat it time and time again.

It’s quite an interesting thing to navigate. 

I gain so much more peace, joy and fulfilment when I focus on the things that matter.

I’m at a point in my life where I know what I want to do. I am just a sucker for a shiny object

Note to self: 

The more you focus on the things that truely matter in your life, the more momentum you gain.

When you have momentum, it means you are doing something right. People can feel that, people want to be apart of that, people want to get involved.

Unless it is aligned, don’t get involved in their stuff. Stay in your lane and know that if the eyes are on you, don’t change what you’re doing, people don’t want to watch the losers, they wanna watch the greats.

Short and sweet this week.
