Well, today is the day most people wake up with a raging hangover and vow to never again touch another drink…Â
We look down at our belly and promise ourselves this will undoubtedly be the year we clean up our diet and take our workouts to the next level…Â
We swear an oath to start the new business we have always dreamed of launching and write that book we know has the potential to positively impact so many people…Â
“Professor EB!!!! Today is the day I turn my life around… Sure, this morning I woke up fat, out of shape and sandwiched between two hookers and a volcano of cocaine, but that was 2020 me… I’m ready to clean my act up and it starts right now with my 2021 New Year’s resolutions!!!!”
Good morning Mr. SuperSoft and welcome to 2021… I like your attitude and your aspirations for change but let me express a few concerns as we cautiously navigate your path throughout the next year…Â Â
For as long as you have attended my Daily Hustle classes, your diet has consisted of fast food and you don’t exercise… Your insatiable thirst for “women of the night” and the booger sugar has compromised all other arenas of your life… Establishing any meaningful relationships has been impossible and the over the top all night benders leave you unable to be productive for days after your escapades…Â
Look Stevie, in order to change you have to want to change, but most importantly like our dude Gandhi implied, you need to take ACTION and BE the change that you wish to see.Â
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
When we can change ourselves with our actions is when our entire world immediately changes, but this doesn’t start with loosely fantasizing about becoming non drinking, perfect eating all loving fitness freaks… It starts by putting one foot in front of the other and holding ourselves accountable to LIVING the change we wish to become each and every single fucking day!Â
New Year’s resolutions are bullshit because they are unsustainable fantasies that focus on results while so often overlooking the most important element that has the ability to actually change our lives…Â
Our ACTIONS.Â
Resolutions are a nice end point, but without a road map, we are invariably fucked.Â
Consistent ACTIONS constitute a process that creates habits and builds character, which at the end of the day is the only thing that matters as we continue to hard charge our way year after year.Â
Going off grid for a bit starting next week… See u on the other side. 👊
Much LOVE, EB
