\u2018Yeah but that\u2019s easier said than done.\u2019<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don\u2019t say it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just don\u2019t.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because it will fuck you up and make you feel lost and powerless.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And even it is true (for changing things can be absolutely challenging and painful and difficult and time-consuming), it is just not helpful.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s an observation, a conclusion that turns into an excuse that turns into passivity.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s quitting before even starting.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s like a giant sigh that flushes away all hope and potential.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s like giving up.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s paralyzing.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So don\u2019t say it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Get on with it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
CREATE the momentum.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
One step at a time.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because overcoming the discomfort and complexity are a big part of the win.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If it was easy, it wouldn\u2019t feel so good in the end.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If it was easy, you wouldn\u2019t look for solutions in places you\u2019d normally avoid.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If it was easy, you\u2019d never feel the victory of virtuosity.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s not supposed to be.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Change is fucking hard.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Learning essential, life-changing shit is fucking hard.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Mastering skills is fucking hard.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Unlearning crappy habits is fucking hard.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And that is what makes it so unforgettable, and rich.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Not easy?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Awesome.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
