You Cannot Outsource Life!

 As a coach – I realised the following over the past few years.

Where people are at a specific period of their lives, normally is the result of their habits.

Most people know what they don’t want – but have a very limited idea of what they want and where they want to go, and survival thinking (fight, flight or freeze) makes it almost impossible to engage in future thinking.

When prompted, they want vague things (e.g., freedom, peace, riches, happiness) – no time were invested in defining what and how they would like their lives to be, or what they would like to achieve.  Very much learned helplessness.

And then, when pushed, many shrink from taking the responsibility to take action, to implement necessary actions, to face their fears, to suffer the hardship – which is mostly required to change life’s direction.  The life most of us want lies on the other side of our fears, and the success that we crave lies on the other side of the work that we avoid.

The reality is that you cannot outsource your happiness, your growth, your health, your relationships.  Growing is your responsibility.  Growing requires change.  Change involves pain.

Own your life!  Make your own difference.
