Do what you hate to succeed -
I know its a controversial topic but think about it, things we hate to do are the things which helps us to succeed . Not the things that make you happy . I am sure that some of you don’t like the way I phrased this topic and that’s OK because it’s the exact opposite of what we’ve been taught all our lives: “just do what you love and you will be happy” and we generally don’t like when our fundamental beliefs are challenged. Things we hate are outside our comfort zone thats where success lies. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to get what we do want.
“Doing what you love” sounds like a good advice at first, but it does not help us lead a happy or successful life. In fact, it will often do the opposite.
To feel happy, there is much more to it than just doing the things you enjoy. We enjoy eating junkfood or food that isn’t exactly the best, instead of watching our diet; we prefer to watch a movie or play videogames instead of tackling the tough math problem for our exam; and watching YouTube videos, spending time on social media or having a few (too many) drinks with our friends is generally more pleasurable than a hard gym workout or a 10k run in the cold.
Having said that, there is surely a place for leisure time and we don’t only have to go through our lives like robots, running from achievement to achievement. But if you have big dreams and goals and you find yourself complaining often, this episode is for you.
Why You Should Do It
Life has it’s ups and downs as we all know. However, I see many people denying the downs and not willing to face them or deal with them. You can’t do that. You have to properly deal with whatever it is you’re going through in order to successfully come out the other end as a better person and more learned individual.
In addition, to expand on this further, when it comes to accomplishing goals and achieving your dreams, not every part of that path will be fun, or easy.
There’s a lot of crap to wade through when you’re going through life. You have to understand that it’s happening for a reason; the hard parts, the difficult times, the struggle is all teaching you what you need to know to get to the finish.
Some Examples of Embracing the Suck From My Own Life
Allow me to explain using a few examples from my own life. I’m not saying I’m super successful, but to get to where I am today, I’ve had to do what I hate over and over again.
I don’t like to go to the gym but if I don’t I gain weight,
I don’t like to talk a lot but if I don’t I don’t change my life..
I don’t like to go out much as an introvert or meet people, but if I don’t I don’t meet new people or create association which will help me in the future.
Most breakout success comes from going AGAINST the conventional wisdom of the day.
Ignore how others think something should be done — do what’s authentic to you and learn from your mistakes.
There are no “rules,” so don’t worry about them. Make your own.
Because that’s what successful people do.
