STOP BUYING YOURSELF OFF
We’re constantly buying ourselves off. We have all kinds of things we tell
ourselves about why we “can’t”.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. But you can. These are all just excuses. You promise
yourself all kinds of new actions, you put them off with a litany of reasons
and end up within nothing more than a growing relationship to yourself as a
bullshitter!
You’re way more likely to sell out on yourself than anyone else!
The only difference between you and the person who’s living the life you
want is that they’re doing it. They’ve built that life, and they’re living it.
They’re not smarter, more mindful, stronger, or any of that stuff. They don’t
have anything you don’t. The only difference is that successful people don’t
wait. They’re not waiting for the “right” moment. They don’t wait for
inspiration to strike or for some cosmic event to force them to action. They
get up and they do, and they try, and they fail even before they may feel
“ready.” They’re flying the airplane while they’re building it. If it falls out of
the sky, they’ll piece it back together and try again.
Your internal condition means nothing. It’s just another excuse that you give
yourself.to stay out of the risky zones of life. The problem is, those risky
zones ARE life! The rest is just existing.
STOP BLAMING YOUR PAST
For those of you that are blaming your past, thinking that holds you back, I
invite you to think again. I invite you to confront the notion that what has
been is greater than that can be. We all have pasts, some of them are fucking
horrific. SO WHAT!!!!????? Before you jump furiously on the offended bus,
why is it you show more passion for your past than you do your future? You
and I both know no one can free you but you. I’m not just another guy in the
diner with an opinion, I’ve coached people with pasts that would make your
toes curl. They have gone on to live free and happy lives and you can too.
