Five increasingly painful truths that will drastically improve your life. It will be harsh, so please scroll on if you're not ready to hear it. 1. Making promises to yourself you never keep makes you unreliable, reduces performance and will erode your self confidence. To get traction, pick one small thing. Commit to showing up for yourself. 2. You said you'd start months ago. You're not going to be any further along a year from now. Call yourself out, stop putting it off, no excuses and get started. 3. Constant avoidance of doing what you know you need to do will make you more sensitive to discomfort, making the problem worse. You can build your tolerance to discomfort in small doses. 4. No one cares about the ideas you come up with and never execute. In fact, they're probably getting tired of hearing you talk about it. Get out of your head and do something with one of them. 5. Your time will be up before you know it and you still won't have started anything meaningful to you. How would you feel knowing that.
