Personal change is hard, and most self-help skips that part. The speaker says you need three things: firm promises to yourself, resilience to handle the discomfort, and relentless drive to finish. He's talking to adults over 40 dealing with long-standing trauma or mental health issues.
It's gonna be hard. No one tells you that. No one tells you when you start a new thing or you start to deal with some personal issues, you try to overcome and you decide you wanna overcome some personal issues. No one tells you it's hard. They all go, yeah, yeah, clap on the back. Yeah, it's great. Watch this video, get this meme, do this app, blah, blah, blah. No one tells you it's gonna suck. There's only 3 things that you're gonna have to rely on. Number one is yourself. You need to make promises to yourself, commitments to yourself that you're prepared to keep. Number 2 is resilience. You're going to have to be resilient. This will suck, so suck it up and get it done, buttercup. And number 3, relentless. You are going to have to be relentless. You've started this thing. You like the thought of finishing this thing. But are you going to finish this thing? Look, it took you 20 years to get here, 10 years, 5 years. It's going to take you a little time to get out. So just get it done, man. Like, just do it. If you need help, we're here for you. If you're 40+, suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, a range of things, Phoenix Collective for you. If you're interested, put interested in the comments and I'll get back to you personally. Cheers.
