A future-minded person would say "You're right. My life is not what I want it to be and I need to focus on what I can do to change that."
But this is RARELY the response.
Why is this?

People don't fear the future. They fear the uncertainty of the future.

People stop at mediocre because just like their past...

Here's the secret: YOU have the power to define your identity. You don't have to hold onto that identity given to you by your past.
Identity is the story of yourself.
"I am a..." precedes a story about yourself and each time you...

"I am a..." precedes a story about yourself and each time you...
say "I am a..." you are retelling a story about yourself to yourself.
We do this constantly in our minds.
“I’m just not the type of person that…” = you’ve created an identity based around the story of a risk-averse person.
What if you could change that story?

How different would your life be?

next question is "How do you start a new life?"
You start a new life by doing something else. Simple to understand but hard to live.
Don't believe me?
Tell people you are going to take a masterclass at "Life"
Watch the negative reactions
Why??

Life is HARD, and yet if someone wants to learn more about life it's considered "weird".
But if you want to intoxicate yourself with excessive drinking on a Friday night, it's considered "normal".
How TF does that make any sense?
This week I spent $99 on a writing course...

recommended to me by a Twitter friend with an anon account.
If I told my IRL friends this, I would get laughed at.

just tell yourself
"this is practice for something greater."
If you want a new life,
ask yourself
"What stories are you telling yourself about yourself?"
"How can you change these stories?"
Mindset.
Identity.
Story.
Action.
In that order.
