I've seen this play out every single year for longer than I care to remember. Around October 1st two groups of people show up. The first group has already decided that the year is over. What's done is done. They coast for the holidays and somehow think their lives will change on January 1st with a bunch of promises they never keep. The second group looks at the previous 9 months and has an honest conversation with themselves. They DECIDE the year is not done and that they CAN do more in 3 months than 9 months if you're focused and committed. I was in the first group for decades. And relived the same year over and over again. The second group sucks, but it's where winning happens. It's where transformations happen. The only thing standing between me and the life I wanted was me. Not my partner Not my boss Not my past Not my friends Not me having the time (worst excuse I ever made) I've made every excuse in the book and I even invented a few. It was all bullshit. Lies I told myself because I couldn't admit the truth. The truth was that I said I wanted a better life. But I wasn't willing to do what was required. Period. This is me holding the mirror up and it will sting. Some might leave the group. There are over 1400 people in this community. Maybe 10 will decide they want to be in the second group and actually do it. The rest will stay in group one. It's the easy, safe and comfortable route. Or is it? Years ago I decided that group one wasn't for me. It was the harder route. 90-120 days of going all-in with zero excuses beats 14 years of playing small and stacking regrets. Which group are you in? Don't comment unless you mean it. Decide. Commit. Focus.

@Brian O'Neill historically, I didn’t get it. Something woke me up at some point in the journey.

@Brian O'Neill Yes, I am guilt as well.
Perfectionism
