Why It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn.
Alright, buckle up! It's time to face the music, my friends.
If your preparing to get ready and go to work this Tuesday and I asked you:
'Is this the job of your dreams?'
If the answer is no - then I got you covered.
But just before we dive headfirst into the wonderful world of change, we need to get cozy with what’s dragging us down.
This is not designed to be a 'comfortable' post.
(But it is an absolutely vital one)
Yep, I’m talking about that nagging feeling, that cringe-worthy behavior, that situation you’ve been trying to dodge like a bad ex at a party.
Or even that bullshit comfortability or those self limiting beliefs.
Its time to walk in the Cave of the Dark Side and seriously confront your fears.
There are a million posts you can read about monetizing your passions, and pursuing your dreams.
Heck I write them myself all of the time. They are vital.
BUT, not many people tell you step one.
So let’s get real about what you don’t want.
And its no good to do this one a basic level, like just reading it and pressing Like.
I don't give a dang about your Like.
I give a dang about making you so fired up to elevate your life that quitting will never be an option again.
Not until you make it. Just like you deserve to.
(and you can thank Mike later)
Come on. Lets get down to business...
-Is it the job? Or is it how the job makes you feel?
-Is it what you cant do, what you haven't got?
-What you feel that you deserve?
You've got to know this shit better than you know the back of your hand.
Do you think it was easy for me?
No. My life before I 'made it' was filled with failure and with self doubt.
But that's no reason not to succeed.
That's a reason to accept no other possibility.
It's about using pain and frustration as power.
Always the first and most important step.
Getting too comfortable is what stops people from the late nights and early mornings that creating a different life demands.
Some people will tell you that you can do this in an hour a day.
I won't. You can only do that once you have the systems in place to do so.
First you need to drive yourself to not just want to change. But to believe that you MUST with every fiber of your being.
This is how to do it, in no holds barred detail.
100% facts.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
Here’s the deal:
You’ve gotta describe this mess in full Technicolor, Dolby Digital sound.
Imagine you’re the director of your own personal horror movie.
What’s the plot?
Who’s the villain?
What’s the soundtrack of your misery?
Really dig in, no detail is too small, no emotion too raw.
If it makes you wince, good.
If it makes you want to punch a pillow, even better.
You think im joking. Im not. Getting angry...
This is where the magic starts.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
See, clarity is your new best friend.
You can’t fix what you don’t understand, and you definitely can’t move forward if you’re still stumbling in the dark.
So spill the beans.
Let it rip like you’re venting to your best friend after a brutal day.
Get it all out, loud and proud. Its different when its in your head. Tell a Coach, tell your phone if you cant afford a Coach yet.
Record yourself saying it. Play it back until your sick of hearing it. And most of all FEEL IT.
Because the more specific you get about what you don’t want, the more fuel you have to rocket yourself out of this mess.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
Now, here’s the real deal:
All that pain you’re feeling? That frustration?
It’s pure, uncut power.
Think of it as rocket fuel, just waiting for you to channel it in the right direction.
By facing your situation head-on, you’re not just wallowing, you’re arming yourself with the tools to launch yourself into a better future.
You’re taking that emotional kryptonite and turning it into a superpower.
When you drag all that internal chaos out into the open, whether by talking it out, scribbling it down, or even rapping it out like a freestyle battle, I don't care how you do it....
But that is what you need to stick somewhere and read it every day until you feel so pissed off with your current situation - you burn your metaphorical boats.
You MUST CUT OFF any other possibility other than success.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
You’re doing more than just venting.
You’re processing, reframing, and giving yourself the chance to see things in a whole new light.
Trust me, once it’s out of your head and out in the open, you might just find it doesn’t seem so insurmountable anymore anyway.
You might even start to see the silver linings or at least understand where you can go from here.
The problem is that people lie to themselves.
'Its not too bad.'
And they push it to one side, or make halfhearted efforts to build the life of their dreams.
Without enough pain to propel you through the challenges because you see the benefits of a better future - You will not make it.
But I promise you that if you do - you will.
And unless you have enough money doing what you love to tell your boss to go F themselves.
I would argue that you need to get more serious.
━━━━━━◇◆◇━━━━━━
So, what’s the game plan?
First, know your enemy.
What’s the exact situation that’s making you feel like you’re stuck in a bad episode of Groundhog Day?
What’s the one thing you’d rather eat a jar of nails than keep dealing with?
Get specific, get emotional, and don’t hold back.
Because the more you face up to it, the stronger you’ll become in the fight to change it.
Remember, this isn’t about wallowing in negativity, it’s about using it as a springboard.
The more vividly you paint the picture of what you don’t want, the clearer the path becomes to what you do want.
And trust me, once you’ve got that clarity, there’s no stopping you.
So go on, be brutally honest with yourself.
What’s the exact situation? What don’t you want?
And most importantly, how are you going to use that realization to catapult yourself into the life you deserve?
And tomorrow - Im going to show you step 2.
How you begin to make this shit better. Different.
The future you deserve even more real.
And make the changes necessary to accomplish this.
The Master Elements are ALWAYS within your control.
Sorry, that was impassioned. Actually im not sorry.
Im waking people up from the Matrix. 7 days a week.
Yours, 💘
