3 Reasons Effort is Attractive

In this on-demand world that we live in, it can be easy to overlook how attractive effort is. We’ve become accustomed to getting whatever we want ASAP. We’re drawn to the allure of immediate results.

The sad truth is, we’ve been conditioned to believe that overnight success is possible. So, if we don’t see immediate results from whatever life-changing habit we are implementing in our lives, we think the cause must be us. We’re not good enough, smart enough, strong enough, whatever.

That of course leads to a lack of effort, which creates subpar results, and results in us throwing in the towel.

How can we, as Deliberate Thinkers, break this cycle? By recognizing that effort is attractive, maybe even more attractive than results, for 3 reasons:

1. Effort requires willpower, and harnessing willpower is no simple feat. Your mind will use all sorts of tactics to persuade you to give up on your personal growth because your mind likes comfort. And let’s face it, personal growth requires a fairly high degree of discomfort.
2. Effort is proof that you are astute. You know that in life it is smarter to play the long game, at least most of the time. The long game requires effort, whereas the short game requires a little effort but mostly luck.
3. Effort will give you confidence. How do you become confident, bold, and fearless? By taking action. Effort requires action, and the more action you take, the more experiences you have to draw on, and the sooner you will be realizing your full potential.

Are you ready to put in the effort to become a Deliberate Thinker, face your limiting beliefs, and live the fulfilling life you were meant to live? Start here:
