What’s My Secret Formula?
Liam asked me, “Paulie, what’s your secret formula? Where do you find all that energy and discipline?”
Ha! “Discipline??” If he only knew… how lazy I truly am. But that’s a story for another day.
So, is there a secret formula? If there is, I suppose it’s this simple one…
Show up.
Do work.
Be patient.
Repeat.
Yeah, that’s it. Wish I could offer you more of a starburst of never-before-thought-of inspiration. But that’s pretty much it.
Coolest thing about this formula, though…
You can apply it to every aspect of your life.
A few thoughts on each element:
Show up - for yourself. Fulfill the commitment you’ve made to yourself—every day.
Do work - hopefully, work you love, but there’s no way around it; this requires labor.
Be patient - most things take the time they’re gonna take and can’t be hurried. Good things happen for those willing to give them that time.
Repeat - do this again and again, ad infinitum.
Liam found my “secret” formula dull and disappointing. I hope you find the truth in it and put it to work making your life exceptional.
