Pretending to Care . . .
Hello
How are you this fine day or evening depending on when you're reading this? I had a great weekend - just visited Nashville, TN. Took a two day trip down there and saw a lot of great sites. I was thinking about moving out there. Still unsure about that, it's just an idea I was tossing around in the back of my mind.
Life is pretty good. I can't really complain, I have a lot to be grateful for. My girlfriend, my family, my health, the opportunity within my business, opportunities with music and my opportunity for growth.
The reason I titled this pretending to care is because I've had some interactions where it seems people were pretending to care. And it rubbed me the wrong way and I got to thinking why and it's because sometimes I will pretend to care. I was thinking about my own life and how I've pretended to care about something to please someone else. Or pretended to care in my business with a customer interaction just to move the process along and close a deal.
How do I know when I really care vs pretending to care? It's what you do when no one's watching. It's how you show up in your relationships regardless of how the other people show up. It's how you show up in your job or career. It's how you prepare for whatever it is you know you need to prepare for. It's how often you follow through with those things you tell yourself you're going to do. That inner voice that says I'm going to accomplish this goal this week, month or year and then giving up on it before you've even gained any traction. Or giving up on it when your commitment is tested. So I encourage you to stop pretending.
Start being the real you. Start showing up as the real you. Believe that you can and will accomplish those things that you put your mind to. Stop telling yourself you're going to do something if you know you're not going to do it. Regain control of your inner guidance and what makes you who you are. How can I prove to myself I really care about this goal? How can I prove to my friends I really care about them? How can I prove to my family I really care about them? Tell them, ask them, be a force and a guiding light for your own life and an example for others.
Be relentless with your discipline. Be relentless in your training and your preparation. Do the things you know you should do regardless of whether or not it is rewarded.
"How you do anything is how you do everything." Be vulnerable. CARE.
Just some thoughts I wanted to share. This is how I have a conversation with the world. I say these things as much to others as I do to myself. And I probably need to hear them more than anyone else. The adage of taking your own advice. I must take my own advice.
Thanks for reading.
Peace,
JG
