This may shock you. This may shock you with what I'm about to say, you being impatient is actually your superpower. I'm going to say that again, you being impatient is actually can be your superpower when we channel it. So this morning we had our 5k kickoff, our virtual 5k kickoff. We were packing up the kids. The kids were getting really impatient. They were getting really antsy. What did I do? Did I slow down? Or did I speed up? I sped up. I was like, and even my husband's like, okay, like, we've got to go, like, the kids are getting antsy. Like, and it like, literally kicked me into high gear. Like, okay, I need this. I need this. I need this. Let's get everyone in the car. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. And we got out of the house faster by them being impatient, wealth is very similar. Wealth loves speed, so a lot of people are impatient, and it's not serving them. Because you're, you're like, oh my gosh, you know, this isn't working. That's not working. It's not working fast enough, right? It's and we're, we're not actually being impatient in a helpful way, a productive way. We're being impatient in a complaining, frustrated way, and what we put out into the world is what we get back. So I want you to start paying attention to when you are feeling impatient, and I want you to turn on what I call, like, Mama beast mode. And I want you to be like, okay, like, I'm going to use this to my advantage. Like, what else can I do to speed up the process? And you'll start to look for the answers, which then you'll seek the answers. You'll see the opportunities. You'll see the solutions, versus whining and complaining that things are not happening fast enough, like, then you're just going to keep seeing negativity. You're just going to keep seeing that things aren't working. You're going to keep feeling down in the dumps and frustrated, like I have activated myself really like within the last, I would say, 48 hours, and it feels incredible, and it literally came from within. It was this choice that I channeled. And I'm like, You know what I am? I'm sick and tired of being in the waiting room with a lot of my goals and dreams that I know I'm capable of, and I was feeling that impatient energy. And so often people in the online space say, like, you need like, things take time. Things take time, which is true. Like, I don't disagree with that. And also, as humans, especially in this fast pace Amazon Prime two day shipping go through a fast food era that we're in. You know, even social media quick, quick messages back and forth, like we're living in a very fast paced world that it is very hard to be patient. So why not use it to our advantage and really channel it and like, Okay, what else can I do? What else can I do? What else can do I do? That's your journal prop for today. Whatever you're feeling like you're in the waiting room with that you're getting impatient, like, even think about a doctor's office when you're like, in the waiting room at a doctor's office, there comes a point, like, I've had this many times, like I try to be as patient as possible at a doctor's office for because I know how, you know how much they have on their plate, but there does come a point where you're like, okay, like, we've been waiting longer than we're going to even see the doctor, like, and like, I have things to do, right? So the the same is like your goals and your dreams. So what shows up for you, of what you're feeling impatient about. Is it building your business? Is it paying off debt? Is it finding the love of your life? Is it your health and fitness? Like, what are you in the waiting room with? And you're like, you're, you're, you're at that point where you're looking at your watch and you're like, I like, I'm done waiting. Like, say that with me. Like, I am done waiting. So if you are done waiting with fill in the blank, fill in the blank, fill in the blank, what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? You could go on a dating app today to find the love of your life. They're out there. If you're willing to speed up the process the debt, you could consolidate some of your debt. You could literally get a 0% interest card today, like you, there's so much that we can do to pay off debt faster. We can strategize. You could read a book on paying off debt like, there's so much that you can do with that building your business. Oh my gosh. You could literally message me and be like, Nelly, I'm sick and tired of waiting tell me what to do. I'm willing to do it. Like, just put me in, coach. Like, put me in. I want to make this happen, right? Your health and fitness. You could literally go run or walk a 5k today. You could go chug water like you, like as adults. Like, the biggest thing that I have realized is most of our adult. Problems are us being impatient, but us not doing anything about it? Like, when you think about it, like, if you're in a job that you don't love, what are you doing about it? Like, if you don't have enough energy or you don't love what you see in the mirror, like, what are you doing about it? What are you willing to do about it and it, the whole narrative changes when you take the Extreme Ownership, when you take the Extreme Ownership, and you will literally speed up the process, as if you are Amazon and you're gonna get that two day shipping, like Amazon is able to do that because they figured out a way to make it happen, and sometimes it is a little bit delayed, but they do their best to get your packages on time. And nine times out of 10, they're faster than really, anyone else I know, and guess what? Because they've been able to do that, they have literally dominated, dominated the online space, like I legitimately remember Amazon back in the day before, it was the cool kid, and I was like, selling my college books like they, they, they've evolved so much, and they're taking over. They've already taken over the marketplace. And so they did something about it. They sped up the process. Like this is available to anyone that desires it, whether it's life stuff, business stuff, or anything in between, a lot of our adult stuff, we do have power over so what are you in the waiting room on that you you're just impatient, you're done.
