Mike Melton on why you can't forgive yourself: each broken promise erodes who you are. Real change doesn't come from motivation. It comes when you're sick of disappointing yourself. Start today. Keep one promise. Then another. Build yourself back promise by promise.
You know the hardest person you'll ever have to forgive is the man you became. You ever look in the mirror and ever wonder, man, how in the hell did I get here? It ain't because you broke. It ain't because you don't have a damn job. It's not because you don't love your family at all. That's definitely not it. It's because somewhere along the way, you stopped becoming the man that you were created to be. You got busy building a damn living, you forgot to even build yourself. You know, now every promise you break to yourself, it just chips away at that confidence every day. Every excuse steals a little bit more respect from yourself. But here's the truth, your life ain't gonna change just because the day you feel motivated. It's gonna change the day you get sick of disappointing yourself. Now I want you to today keep one promise. Tomorrow, keep another one. That's how a man rebuilds his life. And what he does, he builds it one promise at a time.
