PROGRESS STARTS WHEN YOU TELL YOURSELF THE TRUTH
I’m going to be deadest honest here…
This may hit hard, it may trigger,
But I can say it, because I lived it for years
Waking up Monday morning, thinking
“𝘍*𝘤𝘬.. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴”
I hated them because they were the weekly reminder
Of restarting a ‘𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥’ life I didn’t want
I was REALLY good at distracting myself with tasks
I was BUSY AF doing stuff I didn’t want to do
Putting my head in the sand,
Waiting for the right moment to start
Waiting for things to be perfect so I could do what I wanted
But each Monday, was like Ground Hog Day
Back on the treadmill
𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝
‘𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝟼 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴!’
Tell yourself the truth… You’ve wasted time
And if you don’t start now,
You’ll never start
𝟔 𝐅𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞….
That day, I got off the fence
I signed with a coach,
And within one year, my life was completely different
I got the tools and the accountability to get unstuck
I put my cash on the line to get a mentor
Because I realised that if I was to live until 90
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞
Spent procrastinating,
I was done with that sh1t
𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬:
Being the best dad, partner and friend that I can be (𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘵)
And making up for years I wasted on the fence
When I could have been helping more men get unstuck…
Take out of this what you will brother…
