It’s so easy to think that I need to just… “try harder”. But you’re right… we just end up in the same situation year after year. But I’ve never thought of it this way. I AM trying hard but the goals I’m accomplishing aren’t serving me the way I want. I need to examine why I do the things I do and then hopefully come up with a stronger goal that leads me where I really want to be… not just where I SAY I want to be. This is a good one Jason. Thank you
You are trying hard and that matters. The shift isn’t more effort, it’s noticing what your effort is actually organized around when pressure is on.
Once you see the real goal your behavior is serving, you’re no longer stuck fighting yourself. You get to choose whether that goal still deserves your loyalty, and that’s where real change starts.
