  • There's really just one single wall between you and the life you know you want to live and that's your mindset.

  • And I'm gonna share one with you that kind of changed my life immediately.

  • Trust me. I know how you feel.

  • I know you're sick of it.

  • You're sick of knowing that you have these big goals and dreams and yet you don't know how you're gonna reach them.

  • And it kind of feels like you're just wasting all your potential.

  • So ultimately, you do nothing because the more you think about it all, the more overwhelming and honestly impossible it all sounds.

  • But what if I told you that it really wasn't that hard.

  • And in reality, you can change your life as soon as tomorrow.

  • In late December of 2023, I decided I'm done.

  • I can't do this anymore.

  • I can't sit here and continue to feel miserable and empty while I wait for my life to change for me.

  • But then I fell into the same old trap as I'm sure you have.

  • I started to overthink and I started to get overwhelmed.

  • I would think about how long it would take and just how much work I would actually have to put in to make a difference in my life.

  • And then I reached my phone to open Instagram for like the 30th time today.

  • But then it dawned on me.

  • I recalled a piece of advice I was given a while back.

  • By who? I have no idea.

  • It was probably my mom, though.

  • Thanks, Mom.

  • But the advice goes, "Just take one step every day."

  • When you think of your goal or dream, don't look at the entire mountain you're about to climb.

  • Just find where you're going to put your foot next.

  • It doesn't need to be complicated.

  • It's easy to get overwhelmed by your big goals and dreams.

  • But if you just think, "Just one step today and I'm done," it makes things a whole lot easier.

  • And if you still need a little bit of extra motivation, just remember that the pain of doing nothing will always be worse than the pain of doing something.

  • Because, sure, taking steps can be uncomfortable and intimidating and scary, but it will always be better than the alternative.

  • The slow, never-ending subconscious discomfort of remaining dormant will always be worse than the temporary and voluntary discomfort of making a change.

  • Maybe some days you'll feel an extra bit of motivation and you decide to take three steps instead of just one. That's great.

  • And maybe some days you're really just not feeling it, but you just remind yourself just a small step today.

  • That's fine too.

  • What matters is that you move forward, even if it was just a little bit.

  • These steps add up, and before you know it, you'll be able to see the top of that mountain just a little bit clearer than before.

  • And when I say that this changed my life immediately, I mean, it, because, well, before I wasn't moving forward, now I am. One step at a time, one day at a time.

  • Currently, while I'm writing this, it is February 13th, and I find that I've been working on something every day since the New Year as I just keep reminding myself, "Just take one step today."

  • And as a result, I have instantly changed my life.

  • Maybe not in a substantial way, like I didn't just become instantly successful or anything, but now I've given myself some sort of purpose with each day and I'm slowly but surely moving forward.

  • "You must change your life in order to change your life."

  • Make that small change, do it once every day, and eventually, you'll realize that you've made a bigger change than you could have ever imagined.

There's really just one single wall between you and the life you know you want to live and that's your mindset.
