Why It Is A Problem To Want Everything To Be Easy
Modern society tells you that everything must be easy. Most things take work. You want to learn to focus on your strengths and invest in yourself.
There are many reasons to stop looking for an “easy solution.” You may instinctively make a cost-benefit analysis when it comes to certain decisions. Other choices you make may require more thought. Here is why it is a problem to want things to be easy.
Give Up Easily
If you expect something to be easy, it may become more difficult, which could make you give up easily. You could continue if you think it is worth your time and effort.
When you are told that something will be “easy,” you expect to put in less effort. Consequently, you will not want to put in the hard work it may require.
You'll need to choose which resources you want to sacrifice when starting. Your resources include:
Time
Attention
Energy
Connections
Money
Easy is often a myth.
Comfort
Comfort is the enemy of risk-taking. Comfort is the adversary of wanting to learn new things. Comfort is the enemy of wanting to challenge yourself.
Ease and comfort go hand in hand. Most people today would rather be comfortable and entertained than work hard to be different. You can see this by looking at how much Americans spend watching television.
If you want to improve yourself and set yourself apart from others, you must embrace discomfort.
Learning Curve
There is a learning curve whenever you try to learn or do something new. It could be trying to change your car’s tire or learning video editing. Everything requires a learning curve.
That means it will take time to learn something new, from new knowledge to developing new skills to finding ways to increase your income.
New Skills
It takes time to learn new skills. You may learn some skills faster than others, but you must choose to set aside your time to learn something.
You may be studying to pass a certification course, hoping to move up in your company. You may be reading or watching videos trying to solve a problem bugging you. You may have purchased a digital course to dive deeper into learning a skill.
“Easy” Varies From Person To Person
What is considered “easy” varies from person to person because everyone is different. Each person is unique. You are unique as an individual.
Everyone has different skill sets. Each person has different strengths and weaknesses. You want to know what you are skilled at. You want to know what you cannot do.
You want to learn to know yourself.
I have watched videos, listened to podcasts, and taken digital courses from different people. One of the best emails I ever received was from one person who I took a course from. In the email, Allie Bjerk pointed out that it is best to stop trying to copy and be like other people. One person got to where they were because they were skilled in digital marketing, while another person was good at YouTube, yet another person may be good at something else.
The sooner you stop looking for the “one solution” from someone, the more likely you will discover your natural strengths. You can then focus on them. You are different from the YouTuber with over one million subscribers or who resells on Ebay.
Embrace your uniqueness. Embrace your strengths. Focus on yourself!
Stop Focusing On Easy; Focus On Your Strengths
You want to stop focusing on easy and begin to focus on your strengths. The sooner you figure out your skills, the easier it will be for you to figure out what to prioritize your time, attention, energy, and money.
It is best to pay attention to your strengths. The sooner you focus on your skills, the quicker you will begin reaching your goals and getting to where you want to be. The best thing you can do is to invest in yourself.
Invest In Yourself
You can start to invest in yourself. The best thing you can do is create, not pay attention to “influencers” or others telling you what to do to succeed. What worked for one person likely will not work for you. That is all right. You are different from them.
You want to discover what your passion is. The one main thing that you obsess over.
You then want to focus on your skills and strengths rather than weaknesses.
You then want to find a way to monetize what you are good at and enjoy doing.
