In every meaningful pursuit in your life, there will come a pivotal moment where you will have to decide if you are going to give up or if you are going to keep going.
What you do in that moment will ultimately define the story of your life.
There are two different types of people in these situations:
1. The People Who Ask "Should I?"
The people who usually turn back take a “I’m not sure about this” attitude to the situation. They ask themselves the question, “Should I?”
They feel the uncomfortable situation. They run into some obstacles. And they want to get out of that uncomfortable situation and so they ask themselves the “Should I?” question…and what typically happens is you end up quitting right before the moment you breakthrough.
2. The People Who Ask "How Can I?"
People who are fully committed, take a different approach. They ask themselves a different question. Instead of asking “Should I?” they ask themselves, “How can I?”
When you start to ask yourself “How” instead of “Should” you engage your creativity and you will start to find solutions that you didn’t know where there.
You will also make the critical decision to keep going when you hit that pivotal moment.
The life that you dream of is on the other side of the commitment. Are you going to be a man who comes to that pivotal moment and gives up? Or are you going to be a man who pushes through?
Your greatest breakthroughs in life are usually just beyond that pivotal moment.
