About this episode
Most people are stuck in "The Loop" because somehow they think they're going to get a different result in their life by doing the same thing they've been doing, only doing it harder and faster.
The Loop gives no rewards for effort. No matter how hard you work at it, you always end up back at the same place. You only break out of The Loop by making intensely different decisions. By taking a completely different path. That's the message of this week's podcast
Getting out of The Loop requires you to step outside of your comfort zone. This is almost always uncomfortable, and all growth comes outside your comfort zone. The comfort zone is where dreams go to die.
Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease initially threw me into a dark, scary loop. Breaking out of that loop required effort and some new tactics (which I documented in my upcoming book, Read This or Die), but in the end, I broke free from it.
To be able to experience it in the future, you must be able to imagine it now.
This is true anytime you're trying to create a new reality for your future.
Whether it be a new career or new business, or a new relationship, or living in a new city, or a different home…
If you want something radically different in your future, you have to do something radically different in your present. And that can be scary.
I can promise the first steps will probably not be easy. But you don't need "easy". You just need "worth it".
What big, scary, uncomfortable decision have even thinking about lately? If it keeps coming to mind, it is likely the one decision you need to make in order to change your life. The one decision you need to create that new life you really want.
Most of us are quite skilled at thinking about the scary decisions, and coming up with all the things that might go wrong. I suggest a different experiment this time around… I encourage you ask yourself, "What if this went incredibly right?"
What would that make possible?
