Sunday Story...It's all about You

I subscribe to a number of lists for lots of different things. Almost invariably I get “hit” on every day (several times) telling me that if I just buy this or that I will be more successful, have more students, be healthier, lose weight, build muscle, get more clients, keep more of my money, blah, blah, blah.

The fact is simple: none of that stuff will actually work. What works is you. Plain and simple…it is all about YOU. You have to work. You have to shift. You have to learn something else, something new. Just buying this or that won’t make you rich, skinny or healthy. You have to get up and do it.

There are a million and one things to buy that someone wants to sell that will be the answer to all our dreams. Just send your money and in 3 to 7 days you will be on your way. Sorry it just doesn’t work like that. But the answer really is simple:
YOU HAVE TO BE BETTER.

There it is. Want to be in better physical condition? Get better. Work harder. Want to be more intelligent? Read more. Learn something new. Want to lose a few pounds? Change your eating habits. Make real food your focus.
All of that stuff relies on YOU doing, being better. There is no magic pill. There is no secret book of knowledge, no double top secret trading strategies just discovered and withheld until you fork over you hard earned dollars. Someone has been selling snake oil as long as there has been commerce. Someone has always been willing to promise the sun and the moon and someone else has always been willing to buy that promise. Stop it. It doesn’t work. It won’t work. It never does.

What will work is You. The better You. Maybe the better you than that guy or girl over there. Maybe the better you than all those people over there. But most certainly the better you than you are now. This isn’t easy. Becoming a better you is going to take courage, commitment, drive, perseverance, and effort.


The problem isn’t the system or the product the problem is you. You aren’t good enough yet. You haven’t put the time and energy and effort into becoming good enough. You could be a smashing success, a hopeless failure or someone drowning in a swamp of mediocrity…the one thing we know is that it is you. Nothing else but you. So quit trying to find the magic pill. Quit searching for the Holy Grail that is going to shift heaven and earth and you to create the life you think you deserve.

Admit it…it is You. Admit that your life looks this way because of you and get off the crying stool and get to work on you. It is pretty scary when you think that everything in your life is about you and everything in your life is your creation.
Want more? Get better.
Go…now.

Namaste
