Day 27: On Following the Wrong Path

If something scares you in an excited way, (something that *gives* you

energy) — that’s a good sign.

BUT  IF  SOMETHING  IS  MAKING  YOU  MISERABLE  AND

DRAINING YOUR ENERGY, PLEASE STOP.

Life is telling you that is not the path for you.

—Derek Sivers

 

26

When you think about pursuing your goals, you might be tempted to

think that the process will be long, arduous, and painful. While it’s good to

assume that it won’t be a walk in the park, there’s a danger in equating the

journey with being miserable.

Self-discipline is powerful as long as you apply it to the goals you care

about— the ones that, even when they are difficult to accomplish, energize

you.  If,  as  Derek  Sivers  points  out,  your  goal  is  draining  your  energy,

chances are it’s better to stop.

For example, I was working on building a company in the Software as

a  Service  industry.  I  know  nothing  about  programming,  and  this  business

not  only  required  some  technical  knowledge,  but  also  relied  heavily  on

phone sales — something I hate to the core.

My goal to build a successful company was of immense importance to

me, but the path I chose was making me so miserable that I hated waking

up  every  morning.  I  could  have  pressed  on,  tapping  into  the  deepest

reservoirs of my willpower, but ultimately life was telling me that this path

wasn’t  for  me;  I  made  the  right  decision  to  cut  my  losses  and  sell  the

business.
