The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 234: Are You Living Your Life By Convenience?
At first read, you might reactively answer and say, “No, there is no way I live a life of convenience. After all, I’m working hard, life is challenging and I’m doing my best, there is no way I’m living my life from convenience.”
If that or anything like it is your response, I understand.
However, have you fully considered what’s causing the current inconveniences in your life?
Inconveniences are different things for different people.
It could be the economy, your health, a job that you don’t like, a relationship that no longer works…it can be almost anything, as we’re all different. And, when I say “inconveniences” I’m not talking about a squeaky door hinge and little annoying things like that.
I’m talking about bigger inconveniences like maybe you drive a two-hour commute each day and you don’t even like your job but it pays well and you don’t have time to look for another one. Or, you want to be, do or have a lot more in life but so much is going on it’s just inconvenient to change things up in your life.
Have you thought about the choices you did or did not make in the past that have contributed to your present life?
You did not get here today by accident. You got here by choice. You got where you are by living from behaviors that are convenient.
The truth is, most people got here or don’t have what they want in life exactly because of convenience. They don’t make the choices to create and have the life they want because those choices are not convenient for them in their current life circumstances.
Want a new job but not convenient to look? Want better health but not convenient to go to the gym? Or, not convenient to pay for a gym membership?
Want better health and know you should eat better quality food but the cost is not convenient?
Have you thought about the inconvenience of bad health that may come from eating poor quality food?
The whole point is that most of us live from convenience, even though we think it is not that. And, by doing this we create even greater inconvenience in our future.
Transformational Takeaway: The more you try to live from convenience now, the more inconvenience you’ll have later in life.
