you won't know the payoff. Until you first make a payment. And while I'm at it, many payments on top of that. See a lot of times we won't make a decision because we're not sure if doing so if taking the action. Is going to quote unquote, pay off. But you got to ask yourself in those moments. If I make this decision. Is it going to pay off? Who knows. But. Here's what will keep you going. If I make this decision. Is it going to pay off? If the effort. will be making a payment. Toward the thing that you're hoping will one day pay off. Then the answer is yes. Make a payment. See big achievements. Don't come. From one lump sum payment. You didn't get here overnight. You didn't get in your situation overnight. Thank God. Thank God that we don't eat a Whopper and drop dead. It's the culmination of many lack of decisions in the wrong direction, that's, what's led you to where you are today. So because you didn't get here in one week because you didn't get here in one day because it took time. Then, you have to look at it the other way, too. It's going to take time. And multiple payments. But if you do that, In alignment in succession and you keep making those payments. Even though. You don't know if it's going to pay off. You're going to eventually get there. See, When you make these payments. It's the days when you have none to give. And when you have excess to give these are your character building days. See, it's easy to give when you really feel like it it's the days when you don't feel like it. It's the days that you're sore. It's the days that you're broke. It's the days that you're fearful yet you make the payment anyway. Oh, it makes a big difference. And then on the flip side of that The days that have paid off. And you're swimming and lavish luxury. Everything finally came together, everything paid off. Yeah. But understand that the results that you're getting today. Weren't a result of today. It was the many, many payments that you made back in the days that built up so much momentum. And that's why you're receiving the payoff, but the pay off won't continue to pay off if you're not continuing to make payments. And that's the thing, man, that you got to understand. See if you're waiting for things to be certain and perfect before you make a decision, you're never going to make a decision. As a matter of fact, someone has sold you on what perfect looks like someone has sold you on what certainty looks like. Someone has sold you on what enough looks like. And so they say this is good enough, just to go ahead and accept that. I'll go ahead and lay up. Don't do that. It's not going to be worth it. The last person who went in front of you, that didn't work out for them either. You got to drown all that out, man. You got to take the step. It's the person who doesn't see with certainty, how things are going to shake out which direction this is going to lead yet. They believe in themselves so much. They believe that if taking this step, this brings me in alignment with my future higher self. The make the payment. Always make the payment and here's, what's beautiful about it. The state of overwhelmed, the reason why we get upset. And the reason why we quit, not because you ran out of options, it's because you lost belief. You ran out of belief. But see when you're, putting. One foot in front of the other. You have to look at today is making one payment. How freeing and satisfying is that only have to make one payment today. That's it in the state of overwhelm and people that freak out the times, man, that I've just hit the red and, and just, you know, lost all hope it's because I was looking at everything. All of the future payments when the only thing that is necessary today. Is making that one payment. See you have no idea. If making that one payment today. Which could be the 500th. In succession is the thing that's going to break it open. What's the old analogy. Was it the one payment? Or was it the 499? Plus that one more when you had none to give. Boom. And it cracked everything open. You don't know. And because you don't know. Keep it simple. Just make the payment. That's all you got to do. remember the game that you're playing. The time that it's going to take is eventually. And ultimately, so if I keep making these payments, eventually things are going to start tipping the other direction. And ultimately they're going to pay off. There's no way it cannot pay off for you. You just got to make the one payment today. That's why I say every single day, man, lay the brick. Latest one page. That's what I do. I keep things stupid, stupid, stupid, simple. And I say, Marsh, just write one page today. Empty your mind. Clear it out. So that way you're more receptive. That way you have the energy in alignment with the direction that you want to go. So you got to make a payment. And the payment equals the progression. And the progression. Is what creates the payoff besides. Where you are today, what it looks like right now. It's not where you're going to end up. It's impossible to be that way. You have no idea what sort of connections and opportunities are going to come your way, but they don't come your way by sitting still. They come your way because you blindly. Shouldn't say blindly, that probably doesn't sound right. Well, I'm gonna say it anyway. You blindly make the payment. Blind to all the environment blind to what it looks like. I don't believe everything that I see. I'll make the payment. This is what I see right here. I know where I'm going. I know what I'm doing. At least today, I don't know where it's going to head. I don't know if it's going to pay off doesn't matter, make the payment. I keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. Let's get it.
