The relentless, ordinary business of being alive.

And right there in the middle is the part that most people skip completely, is the system.

The bridge between where you are and where you want to go.

Here's what actually happens for most people.

They look up at the goal.

They look down at daily life and they try to leap.

They go from I'm exhausted and behind on everything to...

directly to I'm going to transform my life with nothing in between to support the jump.

And then when they fall back into all patterns,

They think the goal was too ambitious.

Or they're not the kind of person who can pull it off.

When actually, they just skip the middle.

They never build that bridge.

The system is the bridge.

You cannot get from your daily life to your goals without crossing that bridge.

Let me tell you a story.

And hopefully this...

with you because I think this is something a lot of people probably can relate to.

When I was thinking about what is an example I can share that most of you can relate to, I decided to go with this one in hopes that you're going to recognize yourself on this.

A few years ago, many years ago, I decided I was going to get serious about my health.
