🌎 Totally different perspective on making life changes

How to make things start happpening.... even when everything feels hard for you

(Thread 👇🏼)

By default when we want to make change we seek to ‘add’ to ‘gain’ something

But I’d say it’s a 70/30 split

What you DONT DO is the 70%, what you actually DO is the 30%

🍎 NOT putting bad/too much food in your mouth alone is more important than the exercise & supplements

♥️ NOT displaying low quality/red flag behaviors on a date is more important than the smooth things you do

💵 NOT blowing your money is more important than making more

Imagine total ignorance for a second

You only incorporated the DO NOTS above

On some level you’d have better results. Better health, more money, better relationships

What you DO is of second importance behind what you DONT DO

RIGHT NOW IMAGINE...

A stone statue of YOU

The statue gets struck by lightning in the night

You wake up to see a crack in your statue

But then you notice....

A bright shine beaming through the crack

When you then realize this is not a statue of stone....

It is a statue of SOLID GOLD

Using tools you begin to chip away at the stone that has been masking the gold

And now before your eyes you see...

This entire time it was a gold statue

It’s always been there but it’s been hidden underneath stone

Gold - it’s already within you

Stone - what we need to lose to reveal the stone. letting go of the bad habits. NOT DOING things

The lightning - adversity that makes you question yourself in ways you never have

The tools - proactively doing things to ‘let go’ and chip away

Once the gold is revealed then we can polish it, touch it up, engrave it, add diamonds, emeralds, rubys

But before the ‘letting go’ it’s like trying to duck tape a diamond into stone

The moral here is... when seeking change. Follow the counterintuitive before seeing what you can add/supplement

What do you need to lose first?

A house needs to dig a foundation before it can be built
