True and lasting transformation happens when the pain of staying where you are is greater than the pain of making the change. Last year, I wrote a post about how the only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself and the steps you can take to challenge the limiting beliefs you have about yourself.
We all have these narratives about why we are the way we are or why our life is the way it is. Then we tend to rationalize our behaviors and stories, so they fit the narrative. On some level, we know it is bullshit. We wouldn’t have to rationalize it if we didn’t.
So let me ask you this. How does your bullshit story work for you? What do you get out of it?
Maybe by believing your bullshit story, you don’t have to take responsibility for yourself and where your life it. Perhaps you get to avoid failure or rejection. Maybe you get to play it safe, never having to take a risk. But the truth is, if you risk nothing, you risk everything.
What fuels our bullshit stories is self-sabotage. And self-sabotage is behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do. Russell Brand describes what self-sabotage really is, and how he was able to stop it.
Are you tired of your own bullshit? Are you ready to unleash your potential and make your move?
