What’s the story stopping glory
The oasis album “what’s the story morning glory” is 26 years old this year….
The story that it seems like yesterday is in my mind…
The story that it's a good album gets me listening to it again today..
Stories followed by actions which get results….
There comes a point though where the stories in our heads stop us taking action.
In some cases you know exactly what you need to do.
You know the exact steps you're going to need to take to get there.
You have everything laid out in front of you.
You have all the resources available, but you still don't take action.
And then you will start running through the reasons in your head why you don’t…
it's because of time or it's because of someone else
it's because of your wife or it's because of your kids,
but mainly the reason why you don't take action is because there is a story in your head about what that action means if you do.
If you didn't have something holding you back then you would do what’s required (as long as you are committed)..
It doesn’t mean the story is particularly bad, It could be something that stops you doing something you shouldn't really be doing yet as you are currently not prepared.
But at the same time, it could be based around an outcome of something that is completely false.
Taking the point of mindset around getting up in the morning, it’s based on the actions you need to do that day.
So, on a general day when you have to get up and leave the house to catch a train or beat the traffic, There's an urgency that sets out a plan in front of you.
that the outcome must be done, or there are consequences.
Take the same action when you're in something like lockdown, where you've still got to get up and there are still things to do.
But the consequences are slightly different.
You don't have to get in front of traffic or get the train and do the school run
So the skill sets that you need to get the results you want are irrelevant because there's a story in your head that stops you taking action based on, what you feel about the problems might come up.
So you might have all the knowledge in the world.
But without action you don’t move forward, and moving will eventually get you results.
how do you find these stories, simple:
You question them
What are the problems that will come up if I do take action, what could go wrong
Then ask yourself
What do I want?,
What are the benefits of me taking action?
If you want the results. You'll always do the work.
The best way to do that is to find the story and fix it.
I'll show you exactly how to do that in unbreakable golfers.
But it's all part of the fairway four system, which you can learn more on here
