Create an environment that nurtures your goals from "summary" of Willpower Doesn't Work by Benjamin Hardy
To truly achieve your goals, you must create an environment that nurtures them. This means setting up your surroundings in a way that supports and encourages your desired outcomes.
Think about it like this: if you want to lose weight, having junk food readily available in your kitchen is not going to help you reach that goal. On the other hand, stocking your fridge with healthy options and making it easy to access them will make it much more likely that you will stick to your diet.
The same principle applies to any goal you may have. If you want to write a book, creating a designated space for writing and eliminating distractions in that space will make it easier for you to focus and make progress. If you want to start a business, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and seeking out mentorship will provide you with the support and guidance you need to succeed.
By intentionally shaping your environment to align with your goals, you are removing barriers and creating a pathway to success. This is not about relying solely on willpower to push through obstacles, but rather about setting yourself up for success from the start.
When you create an environment that nurtures your goals, you are making it easier for yourself to stay on track and make progress. You are essentially designing a system that works in your favor, rather than against you. This proactive approach sets you up for success and significantly increases your chances of achieving your goals.
So, take a look at your surroundings and ask yourself: are they helping or hindering my progress? Make adjustments as needed to create an environment that supports your goals and watch as you move closer to realizing your dreams. Remember, success is not just about willpower – it's about creating the right conditions for growth and progress.
