At some point, usually in your 20s, you’ll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can’t save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.
I was mulling over that thought a few days ago.
And the more I think about it, the deeper the problem goes.
I can’t help but notice that too many people between the ages of 20 and 35 fall into the blatantly obvious vicious cycle.
You get motivated by some external source.
A video, a book, a conversation, whatever.
You feel like this is your moment. You go all in.
You start the business.
You start working out.
You start learning the skill.
But then like clockwork, 2 days, a week, 2 weeks later... you fall off.
You so easily go back to the life you swore you despised.
As if you were addicted to it. As if you preferred it over the life you just said you wanted. As if the desire to change your life was just another form of cheap dopamine that you couldn’t resist.
Life goes on.
