Exactly What You Should Do to Change Your Life In the Next Year
Only come inside if you’re sure you’re ready for this.
Everyone has a gift. I really believe that. In fact, most people have several of them.
Like, I’m good at making tacos and helping my kids calm down when they’re upset and figuring out what the third act twist will be in a movie before it’s half over.
But one of my best gifts is that I know what you should be doing.
I’m not sure why that comes so easily to me, but it does.
If I know you at all and I know your goal, I have this weird, preternatural ability to cut right through the bullshit and figure out exactly what you should be doing to reach that goal.
It comes, I think, from my affinity for ideas combined with an (often unfortunate) predilection for putting my foot in my mouth.
In other words, I’m a big mouth with good ideas. And, I can’t help it. I know what you should be doing. If you let me, I’ll make a plan for you that will take you where you want to go.
Whether or not you want to know what you should be doing is a whole other story.
You might rather pretend like there isn’t anything you can do to be successful.
I can’t tell you how many times I tell someone what they should be doing and they tell me that it’s impossible. I’ve learned that all I can do at that point is nod and make an empathetic sound and move on.
Once a person has decided that what they want out of life is impossible, changing their mind is something that has to come from within them. They have to want it. They aren’t in the change-space, you know?
So, I know what you should be doing. And it’s entirely possible that you’d rather sit there and believe with all your heart that you’re trying just as hard as you can to get what you want and nothing works and it’s not your fault, damn it.
You also might not really want to reach that goal.
Maybe it’s just something you’re giving lip service to. Not everyone has #lifegoals, after all…
