one thing – From the desk of Adam Thomas

What is stopping you?

Right now.

You know what it is. When you read it, if you are alone, I want you to say it.

” ______ is stopping me”

Then I want you to go for it. Write down one thing that can help you get over the hump.

That’s it. One thing.

It may be the engine that starts the change you seek to make.

Good luck.

FOMO is Real

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, is hard to escape. Turning down opportunities goes against most of the conventional wisdom we hear. So, instead of saying “no” we start playing the “What if” game.

What if:

This new video goes viral
My new significant other is at this party
This coffee meeting changes everything

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Choosing one goal means saying “no” when all those thoughts are swirling in your mind. It’s saying “Most is Good Enough” for everything around you and just focusing.

This is hard when “this might not work, in” and you could lose.

The benefit of it, however, is the chance to learn. It understands the differences that only expose themselves when you decide to focus. Ultimately, this leads to you making things that matter, even if it isn’t something that matter at that moment.

Too many goals mean you drown not because of the weight of the goals but the lack of direction on where to go while you swim.

So pick one and go. Maybe your S/O is already there, anyway.
