The Time When Change Occurs
Do you know why you are stuck?
It’s not because you are unlucky,
It’s not because you haven’t quite found the right method yet,
And it’s not because you haven’t read enough books, or worked enough hours, or practiced enough repetitions.
You are stuck,
Because on some level of your being,
It is acceptable for you to be where you are.
It is acceptable for you to stay, where you are.
You get something out of it,
Whether it’s comfort,
Or pleasure,
Or sympathy.
You get something out of being where you are,
And so that’s exactly where you stay.
How do I know this?
Because even after all the books,
All the podcast episodes,
All the advice,
All the information,
All the hours,
All the reps,
You are still, where you are.
How do I know this?
Because if it were Truly, 100% Unacceptable for you to stay where you are,
You would not be there for very long at all.
Let me prove it to you.
Imagine if you were stuck inside a burning building,
Or a freezing lake,
Or a sinking ship.
What would you do to escape?
ANYTHING.
You would do,
ANYTHING
to escape that situation.
You would not need a 5-step plan,
Or a course,
Or a book,
Or a method,
Or even a single thought.
You would simply do,
whatever it takes.
So the reason you remain stuck,
Is because your situation has not gotten to that point for you.
Here is the Truth, stated plainly and simply,
Of the time when change occurs:
When you finally get so sick of your own shit, you do something about it.
When you look around at your current situation,
Whether it’s the body in the mirror,
The bank balance,
Or life as a whole,
And it sickens you to your core.
THAT is when you will leave behind all the books, courses & information.
THAT is when you will finally do something about it.
And THAT is when you will change.
When everything feels like you’re in a burning building.
When everything feels like you’re drowning in a freezing lake.
When everything feels like if you do not move, the world around you will collapse in on you.
That is the time,
when change occurs.
