About this listen
Is it just me or have you also come to realize self-help is a special kind of addiction all its own?
Much like when I used to drink, I’d consume that fresh spirit, feel the dopamine rush, and ride the wave. It tastes and feels so good. So invariably you find yourself thinking, “oh, just one more won’t hurt.”
In your haze, you want so desperately to believe this is the elixir you need. You know, so you can work harder. Love bigger. Be more courageous. And for God’s sake, finally be your best self.
But then the high fades. And in the aftermath, you find yourself back in your reality. Back in your old habits. Back in the moment, remembering you cannot escape forever.
So you have to return. To be here. Right now...and face the truth about how change really works.
