I get it. You don’t want someone talking from a pedestal, telling you what to do. It’s easy enough for someone like me to start doling out advice without sharing any insights from my own life. So, that’s what I’ll do.

We all have a pretty good idea of what we need to do to change our lives but we lie to ourselves and rationalize our situations. Eventually, though, sometimes the harsh truth can go from the back to the front of our minds and smack us in the face hard enough to make a decision to change.

And that’s what’s necessary to get what you want from life, change.

Whatever you’re doing right now might not be working for you. To get it to work, you’ll have to change your behaviors, your beliefs, probably your identity as a whole. You’ll have to reinvent yourself. What does that mean, exactly? Simple. It means you get rid of all of the behaviors, beliefs, and pieces of your identity that weren’t serving you. Then, you replace them with ones that will.

To get to the point where you decide, where you’ll really change, you have to fully come to grips with some things you might, or probably won’t, come to grips with.
