Let's stop being realistic.

Are you settling for less because you’ve been told to be “realistic”?
It’s time to change that.

Last week we talked about how bad habits are just excuses to avoid taking control of our actions. This got me thinking about the most common “bad habit” addiction I’ve personally noticed.

Here it is:

I think many of us are addicted to settling for less than what we really want.

Most of us weren’t taught how to hunt for our full potential.
We’re not taught what to do with our money to get the absolute most of it. 
And I don’t know about you—but I sure as shit wasn’t taught how to work on myself to become happier.

In fact, I’d say that I was taught more of the opposite. I believe that I was taught to follow the realistic path.

1. Do what everyone else is doing.

2. Get good grades in school, but don’t learn how to thrive on your own.

3. Borrow more money than you have to go to college.

4. Get a job that barely helps you pay off those loans in about 10 years.

5. Keep working hard, because you'll need to support a family and pay off a house you couldn’t afford but were told you could.

(And all of this makes sense once you learn that the school system was designed to create a nation of labourers).

So, we’re told all our lives to be “realistic.”
Do what you see other people doing cause that’s what’s real.
Don’t reach higher than that—you might fail.

WHY?

Why are we taught to work our asses off for “realistic” reasons, and not for our dream lives?

Let’s honestly examine this for a second…

Did you know that there’s no shortage of money in the world? There’s literally enough to go around.
So, why are more of us not taught how to use it?
Or better yet, how to earn it in a way that we’re passionate about?

Just imagine for a second…
If you could get paid to do one thing…
as in I’m gonna pay you $100,000 every month for you to spend your time doing whatever you want…
what would you do?

Me? I’d write. And coach people on how to improve their lives.
I’d go to the gym, and travel every winter.
I’d do garden work with my fiancé, and give food from it to people.
And then write about that. 

Guess what?
That is literally how I’m living my life right now. 
Am I making $100,000 per month? Nope.
Not even close. 

But I’ve committed to taking those actions, so I can keep improving at them—because I believe that’s the only way we can possibly achieve our dreams.
We must start acting like the versions of ourselves that could. 
Literally just start behaving like that version of you who would do those things.

I have to make decisions that the tomorrow-me would be proud of.

Because if I do, then, my “realistic” starts to change. 

I watched a video the other day where a girl named Nadia explained this beautifully:

How to start living “unrealistically”:

1. Visualize what your “unrealistic” life looks like.
   What would you do every day?
   Where would you live?
   Who would you spend your time with?

2. Take one scary action: The first step doesn’t have to be big. It could be as simple as signing up for a course, contacting someone you admire, or dedicating an hour to your passion.

3. Surround yourself with people who are also striving for more. Being around people who don’t settle will keep you motivated and help you push past your comfort zone.

4. Act like your future self: Start making decisions as if you’ve already achieved your dream. Ask yourself, “What would the future version of me do in this situation?” And then do that.

Being realistic is a perfect way to stay exactly where you’ve always been. 

If there’s something you want to be that you’re currently not, then you have to start being unrealistic.
