You are not where you want to be in your life right now.

Not because of your struggles, not because of the opposition, not because of the forces against you.

You are not where you want to be because of you.

You are the only one who holds you back.

It's all you.

You tell yourself all these lies, reasons,

justifications to why you're not winning in life.

I'm too tired.

I need to rest.

I don't have the right gear.

I don't have enough money.

I don't have time.

Something else is more important.

The day you'll start to actually make changes in your life to move forward is the day you acknowledge that all those

excuses are bullshit. They're all fabricated lies to make you feel better about taking the easy road.

And when you take the easy road, it'll be more comfortable.

It'll make you feel warm and safe and not too stressed, but only in the short term. Long term,

it'll create a nightmare. Things will begin to fall apart. But if you decide that you are willing

to deal with those tedious, annoying,

and hard tasks today that you know needs to be done, you start paving a road to a life that will

be smooth in the long term. Doing what's easy makes life hard,

but doing what's hard makes life easy.
