You’re Not Winning in Life Because of These Stupidly Simple Things
#1 — Unwillingness to look weak
Rockbottom is comfortable for many people.
They don’t dare get their life together. To change requires too much effort. It’s easy for them to fail at their goals and complain about it.
I’m no saint. I’ve done it too.
The times when a tidal wave has wiped out my dreams always came down to one of these stupidly simple things. Awareness creates armor against them.
Unwillingness to look weak
Mental health issues ruined a large amount of my life.
The trouble? I didn’t want to look weak.
I wanted to look in control of my employees. I didn’t want my family to think they’d raised a weak piece of sh*t. I wanted my friends to think I was a successful music producer with two record deals.
The truth is I couldn’t eat.
The thought of eating in front of other people scared me. Food problems and mental health issues equaled projectile vomiting.
My biggest fear was I’d vomit in front of other people multiple times. That disaster would then cause them to never talk to me again.
