I’m a big advocate of getting all the way in or all the way out. No marginal commitments, no half-hearted efforts, no avoiding the tough stuff, no half-assing it. Over and over, I’ve discovered when I’m less than happy or less than successful or confused or stuck, it is because I’m not all the way in or all the way out.
Typically, whenever someone tells me they aren’t happy with their wife, their husband, thier job, I ask them, “What would it look like if you got all the way in?”
Ask yourself the following questions about your current situation:
If you decided to get all the way in what would you do different?
How are you holding back?
What does being only part way in prevent you from finding out for sure?
What is your fear of getting all the way in?
What is the worst thing that could happen if you got all the way in?
What is the best thing that could happen if you got all the way in?
Wether you like your job or even your boss, what would be different if you got all the way in?
