Most people know the quote Go Hard or Go Home, but like most quotes the key is not knowing it but utilizing it. Utilizing it means you don’t half-@ss anything. On a grander scale, you’re not pouring your cup of life into both the Pain of Discipline & the Pain of Regret cups. Choose one.
Previously, I touched on how to develop a Too Blessed to be Stressed spirit. In this post, Karrine Steffans notes her Go Home mindset, “I understand how important it is to stop trying sometimes … It’s gonna’ work out the way it’s supposed to work out & you just give it up.” This Go Home mindset complements her Go Hard mindset. In another interview, Steffans explains, (5:52) “I’m good at everything I do … I’m not gonna’ touch anything unless I plan on doing it better than anyone else you’ve ever met in your entire life. That’s how I like to do things; that’s the energy I put forth in everything.” The Go Hard and Go Home mindsets are one in the same; you can’t have one without the other.
Don’t be in between. If you decide to do something go all in with it regardless of ____________ because you’ve got real pride to become your best/truest self … or don’t do it. This mindset is about being relentless with certain things, while also saying So Be It to others if it’s not for you (at the time). It eliminates extra energy – You only think about if you do something; there is no confusion over how it’s done. There should be no “effort meter” where your effort fluctuates, only an On/Off switch that is automatically activated when you decide to do something. So with everything you potentially do, make a decision: Go Hard or Go Home.
This makes perfect sense especially to mah at this moment, sometimes I wonder if I’m doing the right thing in life. I feel like sometimes I’m that person that is in between, but maybe if I try to be more relentless I wouldn’t have this problem. I know I can go further in mah life then where I am now today, im trying and trying but sometimes I get over whelmed in the process and I feel like I need to just give up, it breaks mah heart because I know I can be better and I know I can do better. I think I worry too much, I think I need to set a steady pace in mah life so I won’t feel or get to that overwhelming stage. I know what I want to do and what I need to do in mah life as far as getting it on track. This time around I just need to focus on what matters and stop being in deep thoughts about everything and take one step at a time. I choose to GO HARD!
