Give it a chance

Give it a chance

　How do you change something you don’t feel like doing into something you are happily doing? Get started, and give it a chance.

　Once you have thrown yourself into the effort¹, it doesn’t seem that bad. In fact, with just a little change in your attitude², you can actually be enjoying it.

　Remind yourself when there’s something you’ve been putting off, that once you get started, it won’t be bad at all. Remind yourself and then get started.

　It’s really more enjoyable to make progress than it is to avoid effort. And it’s a whole lot more satisfying.

　So next time you find yourself putting something off, stop and realize what a great chance you have. Go ahead, get started, give the effort a chance, and you’ll soon be thanking yourself for doing so.
