The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 214: You Probably Won’t Change Until…
So, from the headline, let’s finish it: You probably won’t change your life until you hit threshold.
What’d does this mean?
It means if you’re like most people you won’t do anything different in your life until you’re in enough pain to do something different.
You may complain, hope, wish, want, and pray but at the end of the day you already know that won’t work and at that point, people will do one of two things: They’ll quit and sink deeper or they’ll be sick and tired of being sick and tried and finally do something different.
Let’s look at this in a different way.
Nothing much will change in your life until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired or until you just get tired of hitting threshold and you commit to working from outside your comfort zone. It’s generally staying in your comfort zone that compounds into more and even greater pain.
So, can you relate or are you one of the small percentage that says, “Hey Jim, I listen to your podcast and others and I’m into personal development and I have been for years, what you are saying does not apply to me.”
My question to you…Are you so sure you’re actually different than the other people in the other category that I talk about?
Truth be told, you’re not much different even if you think you are? You’re just different but only by degree but not by doing every single thing, it takes to create the exact life that you want.
Even people into personal development, I see many struggle for decades and they are always developing themselves and they do feel better but often times I still see them dead broke, sick, etc.
WHY?
Because they won’t change and they won’t change because they are not in enough pain yet.
So, no matter where you are on the spectrum of change, you can always do better and do more but things have to change in you for things to change in your life. And, you have to abandon your old model of working from the motivation of pain.
Transformational Takeaway: Nothing much will change in your life until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired or until you just get tired of hitting threshold and you commit to working from outside your comfort zone. It’s generally staying in your comfort zone that compounds into more and even greater pain.
