sad story.

Hey friend, 

Most people only make change out of pain. 

Most people don’t take action until there is a problem, a crisis, a tragedy. 

Most people don’t decide to make more money until they are in a bind. 

Most families don’t reconcile until there is a death. 

Most businesses don’t create a strong plan until something goes wrong. 

When we live like this, we generally don’t grow too much, we generally give all our energy and attention to digging ourselves out of a hole, just to get back to the baseline.

When we make change out of chaos, we are planting in the most infertile soil. 

Imagine if you were to grow out of inspiration

Out of a desire to move into greatness

Instead of to fix a problem. (the hardest place to grow from)

Imagine if you made change out of an awareness of what’s possible for you

Instead of escaping discomfort.

I believe we would all do much greater things with our lives. 

You don’t need a sad story or a tragedy in order to make strong decisions & actions.
