I’ve been getting emails from telling me about how uncomfortable change can be. They say they’ve got a good thing going on at the moment and that life is alright. The thing is…I don’t want your life to be just alright, and I know deep down you don’t either. You deserve an exciting, fantastic, passionate life that challenges you each and every day to grow both physically and emotionally. Your comfort zone is a danger zone. It’s holding back your true potential.

As long as you continue to play it safe you’ll never know how far you can push the boundaries, what you can accomplish, and how much you are robbing the world of your light which is meant to shine for all to see.

I often hear people blame poor circumstances for their current situation. What you must realize is that blaming the people and things around you isn’t going to do a damn thing. The people who make it in this world get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, they make them. Life is what you make of it; never forget that.

Many people allow their fear of failure to outweigh their desire to succeed. During his commencement speech at Stanford (I encourage you to watch it if you haven’t), Steve jobs said:

“remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know of to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked… there is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Every day consider the possibility that you may not be around for as long as you think. How much time do you have left? You don’t know. You may be the healthiest person in the world, but all of that organic food and intense exercise won’t stop a speeding car from ruining your plans. Picasso said:

“only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”

Every moment of your life is precious. The present moment is the only thing you can guarantee so stop taking it for granted. How many times are you going to say, “I’ll do that tomorrow,” or “I’ll do it when the time’s right”? The perfect moment doesn’t exist. Start living your dreams today or they will remain dreams. Don’t let big changes intimidate you. Take things one step at a time and before you know it your life will be drastically different in a year’s time. You want to lose weight? Stop looking for the ‘perfect’ gym, and the ‘best’ meal plan, and get up and go for a walk. I don’t care if it’s raining, if you don’t have the best exercise shoes, or if your favorite show is coming on. This is tough love. You need to force yourself to change in the beginning because once you get comfortable with where you are progress comes to an abrupt halt. Get momentum and the whole process becomes easier. Starting something makes it infinitely more likely you’ll finish it.

You see everybody’s got dreams and goals, but not everybody gets them. Why?  The question you need to ask is what effort are you putting in when you wake up? Some people are putting in everything they’ve got. 100%. Some do it for a few days. Some do it every day of the year. If you’re not willing to put in the work don’t complain about the results you’ve earned. You must be willing to do the things today others won’t do, so you can have the things tomorrow others won’t have. If you don’t take responsibility for your success you’ll never make it. There are no guarantees in life except the fact that if you don’t try, the answer will always be no. If you don’t act, you’ll never achieve anything. Stop overthinking every little detail and JUST DO IT! Either you change, or your life stays the same. It’s on you…no one else.
