Success Secret: Do Less of What You Like and More of What You Love

Do more of what you love

This post was inspired by my good friend Valerie Garcia. She shared this note in her newsletter this week:

Love
by Jon Acuff
Want a simle goal you can accomplish in 2025?
Do less of what you like and more of what you love.
I like watching Netflix. I love holding a book I’ve written in my hands.
I like scrolling Instagram. I love the endorphins I feel all day after a workout.
I like the ease of one-click shopping for things I might not really need but want in the moment. I love the long term career freedom that comes with paying off our house.

Trade likes for loves and over time you’ll build a remarkable life.

It struck me how perfect and true this is as we embark on a new year of aspirations and dreams.

Our world is determined by our actions, and yet many of them don’t align with our dreams.

It’s the little things that determine our results in the end. Netflix vs a book. Numbing out on social media vs working out.

No one will tell you that you are a bad person or doing it wrong for doing the former, but the later can change your life.

My word for this year is Intention. To bring intention to all that I do, say and think. And to pare that with gentle grace. Knowing that I’m not going to get it right all of the time. However, by bringing awareness / intention to how I’m showing up I can catch myself and make adjustments to ensure that I’m doing less of what I like and more of what I love.

What are your loves that you would like to do more of this year?

To your success!
Nicole
