Putting In WORK!

Work is mathematically defined as Force x Distance, where Force = Mass x Acceleration.

As we travel thoughout our daily journey, we encouter tens or hundreads of people doing what they consider to be WORK. A typical punchline to a conversation is often, "aw man, i'm just putting in work", or "man I'm workin my ass off".
However, if you'll notice, every time you talk to that person or see that person they are still at the same job, still at the same position in life or doing the same things as they were when they proclaimed how much "work" they'd been doing.

Every day, I see people in the gym who appear to be "working hard" ...hours upon hours and yet they look the same month after month. They grunt, sweat and do a whole bunch..but they still look the same.

So...with this as the backdrop to my conversation, let's refer back to the equation for work being done.....Force x Distance.

With that being said, the amount of force you impose upon something that will not move itself, multiplied by the distance you travel, will determine how much work you have done. So...for the people that we encounter at work and the gym, who claim to be working....and remain at the same status, are they working based upon the definition of the term? Definately NOT.

If you do not exert sufficient mental or physical force, you cannot expect to travel a substantial distance in whatever endeavor you embark upon. Period. Mathematically, there's no way to advance without WORK being done.

Its time we put in work! Let's decide to move forward! And the only way to do that is to mentally or physically exert a force greater than the object being worked upon.

Example: as a barber or stylist you can cut hair or put in relaxers and do a million things...but you cannot consider yourself having worked unless you can quantify a distance traveled. Without that, you are just performing an undefined range of tasks day in and day out, without a measure of success. In this profession, the object(s) being worked upon are greater customer service and increased clientele. If your service has not gotten better or if your clientele has not grown, mathmatically you have not put in WORK. You have merely exerted energy by performing a ritual of tasks without purpose! Work is associated with terms like "hard" and "labor". The result of work is associated with terms like "success" and "fruitful".
You have to endure hard labor, whether it be mentally or physically, in order to reap the fruits of success!

There are a ton of people out there exerting energy and performing tasks... but there are very few people out there actually WORKING!
If you work out, look around you...notice who's body looks better in the gym. At the salon, look who's career is advancing by increased clientle or better customer service. Those are the people who's WORK has proven to be sufficient. They have traveled a measurable distance by exerting a greater force upon an object that was content to remain in its position. Again...if you look at your object as increased clientele, you know that it won't grow by itself. therefore, something has to be done in order for it to grow..or in this case, MOVE.

Look at yourself...look in the mirror and honestly assess wheather you are WORKING or exerting energy. Draw a line where you are today and the amount of force that you have done in order to get where u are. If u ar happy with that, kudos to you. (If so don't tell anyone that).
But if you are not, its time to exert more force...its tome to extend your focus, identify your purposes and challenge your determination in order to MOVE a substantial distance. It starts by doing things differntly tommorrow than u did yesterday. In order to get different results you have to do different things. To get something you've never had, you must do things that you've never done.
Whether it be getting sexy in the gym, advancing in your career or having a better relationship with your spouse, you have to be wiling to put in WORK!
Without it, you are stuck exerting energy, performing meaningless routine tasks, until you eventually get burned out.

As a community of people...we need to decide to put in WORK collectivly in order to advance ourselves a substantial amount. We cannot and will not advance (move) without forcing our will upon an object which is designed to remain static, meaning..it cannot move itself.

Let's get to WORK!
