What Result Does Minimal Effort Yield?
I’m pretty sure most of us can recall our academic experience probably from kindergarten all the way to, well for me college. I was always a good student. A’s and B’s on my report cards and honor roll every marking period. You know, one of the kids most of you probably didn’t like. As I think back to those times something that stands out is that I never felt like I was ever giving my full 100%. I was always able to do well with what to me I considered minimal effort. And with that I never understood why school was so hard for some and not for others.
So I guess the real question is, how much effort do we actually put into our activities and our daily lives?
How many of you out there feel like there’s so much more. As if your potential has yet to be tapped or tested. As much as we hate scrutiny and bad circumstance in life, isn’t it those tests, those moments of resistance that help us discover who we are and guide us in the direction of who we need to be, not who we want to be.
What result has minimal effort yielded for me? A modest income, financial independence from others, the ability for me to pay my own rent, buy my own things, a wife. I guess what I really should be asking is if minimal effort has helped me to get the things I want, what will maximum effort yield for me?
Maybe it’s about time that for once in my life I find out. I’m taking a leap. A leap that i’ve only talked about, read about, and played with for the past year or so. It’s a leap of self discovery, a journeydown a new road, and an adventure I hope not to regret. What i’m talking about is tapping my potential through creative pursuits such as writing, blogging, and starting my own business venture. It starts with this blog and where it ends is going to be up to my imagination.
We all get to the point in our life where minimal effort is not enough anymore and we have to discover for ourselves what exactly we’re capable of. The world is changing and complacency in the corporate world and in our lives is being phased out by the evolving of people wanting to be themselves and arranging their work around their life as opposed to the other way around.
This is my journey, and this is my story and I welcome all who want to be apart of it to come aboard and also, share yours.
