I failed... because I sabotaged myself...
I made up my mind that I was finally going to do it
now was the time when I was going to kick the habit.
And I might've succeeded... but I sabotaged myself.
I made it three days without a Pepsi or a single piece of chocolate.
Three days!! And things were going pretty good which is kind of surprising....
all things considered, that is...
every single day for the past... I don't know how many years, I'd grab a soda and a handful of chocolate kisses about an hour after breakfast.
It's not the caffeine that I need... it's worse. it's the sugar.
And I'd decided that I was done. I'm quitting.
But day 3 rolled around and I had a pretty bad headache.
No problem, there's a bottle of Excedrin sitting on the back of the sink.
So I took a couple...nothing...
worse than nothing. I was groggy... brain fog
and the headache didn't go away.
Day 4... headache was worse and I was feeling even more groggy
but I took a couple of Excedrin in the morning.
and an hour later... I needed a nap. I couldn't stay awake.
But I went to the beach for my evening walk anyway and after returning home from the beach, I reached for the Excedrin again and that's when I saw it...
there was actually two bottles on the back of the sink.
So I thought... "hmmmm... maybe the one I'm taking is expired."
I grabbed the bottle, put my glasses on and checked the label.
Over the counter allergy medication.
No wonder I was tired... nauseous brain fog... with a terrible headache.
You see I was so focused on the goal, that I lost focus of the present moment.
I was looking so far ahead towards what I wanted to accomplish that I didn't see what was right in front of me.
As Skool owners, builders, creators... that's something that we tend to do as well.

It's us.
โ Tracking the wrong thing.
โ Looking the wrong direction.
โ Chasing the cure... for the wrong problem.
What's the goal you're so focused on that you might be missing something obvious that's right in front of you?
