How the do you make yourself do what you need to do when you are scared or overwhelmed or anxious or hopeless or depressed or any of the stuff that happens to you as a human?

That's the $100 million question.

And because you're only ever going to do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now, unless you understand that you've got to parent yourself, you've got to push yourself, you're not going to make your dreams come true.

You're just not.

We're not wired that way.

You weren't born that way, you weren't that way when you were growing up, and you're certainly not that way as an adult.

And there's a tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the fact that you're always going to need to give yourself a push.

I've trained 99% of my life alone.

No one pat me on the back.

I did all of the work alone.

And while I'm still hard on myself, I know what I did.

You know, if you're going to create anything of value in this life, even if it's with other people, you're going to have to be willing to be on your own for a bit, to forge on your own, to take walks alone.

Stop with the pity party.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

And remember, no one is going to save you but you.

Save yourself!

It seems like...

My version of personal development requires me to fall into a hole or dig one, and then I realize nobody's coming to rescue me, and if I want to get out of the hole, I'm going to need to build a freaking ladder.

First of all, nobody is coming

I mean, if you've been sitting around waiting for somebody to discover you, to pick you, to save you, to rescue you, to give you your shot, it's not happening.
