The moment "self-improvement" finally clicked for me

I remember having a huge realization a few years back.

The type of realization where you suddenly see something about yourself that was obvious in hindsight, but you'd been (maybe willingly) blind to it for years.

I was reflecting on some past struggles and it hit me:

Back then, I'd been spending so much time "trying" to change. Telling myself and others that I was working on it. Going through the motions.

But I wasn't really trying my hardest, and wasn't even coming close.

I was just hoping things would get better while doing the same things over and over, like someone who says they want to get in shape but never actually makes it to the gym. Which incidentally, I was exactly that guy for a while. Wanting the impressive physique, but not acting on it with real commitment and consistency.

It's funny how we can fool ourselves that way. Convincing ourselves we're making meanintful moves when we're really just floating along, waiting for something to magically change.

That realization was hard to swallow, but it was also freeing.

Because once I saw it clearly, I couldn't unsee it, and that clarity finally pushed me to stop playing around and actually pour myself into making real change.

Sometimes one of the most important steps is just being honest with ourselves about where we really are, so you can start truly charting a path from that place to where you want to go.

I'd encourage you to reflect on those ideas this Saturday.
