Here’s the Problem with Average - AsharHabib511/Prowriter GitHub Wiki

Average people have lots of “should do’s.”

For example, an average person wanting to lose weight would say, “I ‘should’ eat fewer cookies if I want to lose weight, but I’ll start that tomorrow.”

Or, if they’re like most people and want to create wealth in a way that gives them the time and freedom to pursue their true dreams and purpose, an average person might say…“I ‘should’ review that presentation, but I don’t have time to read.”

And then they’ll go mindlessly scroll through social media for an hour, binge watch a season on Netflix for 8 hours, or watch a mind-numbing TV show.

Tony Robbins likes to say that average people have so many “should do’s” that they eventually “should” themselves to death.

But being average is not your future.

You have decided that you refuse to be average, and you MUST achieve that dream swirling around in your mind and heart all day long.

Here’s the thing though…

Just like you don’t dream like the average people, you can’t decide like them either.

Average people tend to make decisions based on what is safe and comfortable to them… while the 1-4% who achieve all they want, decide once and do it no matter what.

Dream achievers only make one decision. Ever.

Dream achievers decide they MUST get a specific dream, goal, desire, etc. and that’s the one and only decision they make.

Everything else they must do to get there, isn’t a decision or something to even think about… it’s just a step that must be taken to reach the dream they decided to have.

Bottom line is this…

When you really MUST achieve something, and you decide to go get it no matter what, you are deciding in that moment that you will also take all of the steps necessary… no future questions asked, or excuses made.

Here’s the phrase that separates the average from the dream achievers… “No matter what.”

For the average person, “no matter what” doesn’t exist and they live mostly in a state of regret and excuses.

Remember, the average live in the “should do” zone (regret).

And even if they do start to chase their dreams, whenever it gets the slightest bit uncomfortable, they add another dream killer… “But.”

Or in other words… they enter the land of excuses.
