Recipe for disaster

Everyone wants money.

But no one has a plan on what they would do with more money. Or even the money that they have now.

Everyone wants to influence others.

But no one can influence themselves to do anything truly influential.

Everyone wants fulfillment.

But no one has the guts to do what they love.

Everyone wants health.

But no one can overcome the desire for instant gratification.

Everyone wants love from others.

But no one learns how to love themselves and open up to the love around them.

Everyone wants change.

But no one wants to take action to create change themselves – it’s always on someone else.

Everyone wants status.

But no one is bold enough to take a stance on anything meaningful.

Everyone wants to be mentally healthy.

But no one will be truthful and real with themselves about what needs to change for that to happen.

When my actions don’t align with what I’m telling myself in my own mind, I know something is off. We can’t live one life in our heads, simply saying “I want this or I want that.” That’s a recipe for disaster and will lead to a lot of hurt. It did for me.
