004. Shiny Object Syndrome

from The Potential Project · host Sean Calhoun

In a world of infinite information and instant gratification, we find ourselves jumping from thing to thing looking for the answer to our problems. The problem with this is that we don't give consistency and momentum a chance to compound and actually give us the desired outcome. So when the result doesn't happen fast enough, we either quit for good or jump to try something new. On the other side of things, we can find ourselves going through life with no progress at all, spending years and years repeating the same actions that lead us to an undesirable outcome. When this happens we need to be aware that it is time to make a change. So my hope for you listening to this is that you can take mental inventory of your life and see if either of these situations are happening to you. Once you become aware that you are either quitting too soon, or are in need for change in your life, you can actively make a change for the better.
