HITTING A WALL…?

What would it take to get out of your own way?

There's a new style of blaming everyone else that's popular, and this way of thinking can be really enticing, but it's incredibly disempowering.

It seems like we live in an age where assigning responsibility to external factors is the norm.

Social media, news outlets, and even our social circles encourage us to point fingers at others for our problems.

While it may be tempting to do so, constantly seeking reasons for our circumstances can consume us, leaving little room for growth.

Social science can provide some explanations as to how problems in society are created, but individuals spend much TOO much time trying to decide "why" they are the way they are.

While understanding the root causes of societal issues is essential for positive change, it's equally crucial to remember that personal growth requires a different focus.


Rather than dwelling on the past or searching for elusive answers, we should concentrate on the present and the actions we can take to shape our future.

Truth is, it's a question with no answer.

The human mind is a complex web of experiences, genetics, and circumstances.

While it can be intriguing to dive into the depths of our psyche to find answers, the real breakthrough comes from accepting ourselves as multifaceted beings.

Embracing our imperfections and realizing that our past doesn't have to define our future is a significant step towards personal empowerment.

Pay attention to that which enlightens and empowers you instead; and drop tired behaviors that keep you stuck.


Shedding old habits and thought patterns can be challenging, but the first step towards change is always recognizing that these patterns no longer serve us.

It's essential to surround ourselves with positivity and seek out resources that help us grow.

Whether it's a supportive community, inspiring literature, or seeking guidance from a counselor, investing in our personal development can lead us towards a more fulfilling life.

The work is up to you.

It's easy to fall into the trap of expecting others to change our lives for us.

While external support and encouragement can be valuable, the real transformation happens when we take responsibility for our actions and choices.

By acknowledging that the power to change our circumstances lies within ourselves, we can start taking proactive steps towards a brighter future.


You can control your own destiny, but first, each person has to give up playing the victim.

It's natural to feel overwhelmed by challenges and setbacks, but embracing a victim mindset perpetuates a cycle of helplessness.

Instead of viewing ourselves as victims of circumstance, we can adopt a survivor mindset, recognizing our resilience and strength in overcoming adversity.

Yes, you have pain and trauma because we all do … and yes, your past may be more unfortunate than others, but ask yourself, "What do I GAIN by convincing myself my pain is greater than others?"
