Have you ever scrapped something (or thought about scrapping it) just because someone else was already doing it (and better than you are)?

It could be anything, a project, a business, whatever.

Maybe you say to yourself (as I sometimes do), “They are so good at it, why even bother?”

Well, if either of these statements have ever crossed your mind, on today’s episode of the podcast I’m going to share a few of my favorite counter measures (thought tools) that may help you push through this type of thinking and do the thing you want to do despite any and all internal resistance you may be facing.

Another thing I often think about when it comes to this type of thinking is the notion that every pro-player in any field began as an amateur.

Every single one of them.

This is really one of the core challenges we face every day as human beings and must get over to have happiness and success.

You may be familiar with the expression, “There’s nothing new under the sun.”

Well, there is actually something new under the sun…and that’s how YOU do it.

The newness is your own expression of what your doing in the world.

While what you’re doing may have been done before, it has never been done in just the way you do it.

This is reason enough to do the thing…so you can do it in your own unique way.

I share more of my favorite thoughts on this subject in the podcast.
