What is the key motivational message?
You are always one decision away from a totally different life. It's one of my favorite ideas. It is what I lean on most when moving through some of the most difficult chapters of life. And I think it points to something very important. it points to our tendency to forget how much control we have over our own realities. And not just the small things, but the big things, right?
How can one change their life with a single decision?
The things that truly challenge us and push us, the things that often feel just beyond reach, larger than life. This idea reminds me that that's not the case. I'm going to give you a few quick examples for context. They're very basic. You've heard them before. The first is my health. What changed everything was the decision to start associating with people who knew more and were willing to help. Not rocket science. But at the time, I would have said, it absolutely isn't. I started to piece by piece realize that everything was solvable. And even some of the things that weren't totally solvable, like an elbow issue, for example, it could be made better to the point where I could work around it. It didn't have to prohibit me from living my best life.
What are examples of transformative decisions?
It wasn't the giant problem I made it out to be in my mind. The list continues on, my work, every day hating what I was doing, until one day I thought, well, no. That's enough, right? The pain of the unknown is better than this silent, slow, withering away. That's pain. And did I know what I was doing? No. Did it bring about a new type of discomfort altogether that I hadn't ever experienced? Yes. But it put me for the first time in my life on a trajectory to figure things out. Last example, the wrong romantic relationships, the wrong business partnerships, the wrong people in your circle. You only need to decide once, no more. You only need to decide once, hey, I'm out. I deserve better. Then you begin a process of healing and self-recreation.
See, we don't act very often because we don't know what the solution is. And on its face, that's practical, right? That makes sense. But it's not a reason to keep yourself in a prison of discontent. I think for two reasons. One, the misalignment you're feeling, that feeling in your stomach that things are not right, Is in and of itself a reason to go, to change, to adjust?
How can discomfort lead to personal growth?
And two, you don't start with the answers. You pick up answers along the way. You look in the mirror, you say, okay, I'm ready for more. You step out the front door and then you collect results. It is not the other way around. And I think that's the problem. You know, people conflate that thing they need with a complete solution. When in reality, the thing you need most very often isn't a complete solution, but it is a bridge from where you are now to a process of recreating yourself. In fact, one of my favorite anecdotes is by John Maxwell, the grocery store at night, right? You walk out of the grocery store, you have your bags, it's dark, it's pitch black, it's unsettling.
What metaphor illustrates the journey to change?
But you make your way to the car, put your bags in the trunk, you get in, Turn the headlights on. And what do those lights give you? They give you just enough to pull out of the parking space. Can't see anything behind you or what's going on around you, but the lights give you enough to pull out of the space. And then they give you just enough to get to the edge of the parking lot. And then they give you just enough to turn onto the street. and then just enough to make a right turn at the stop sign and onto the main road, and on and on and on until you arrive at your house. And so the question worth all the money in the world is, did you have all the answers at the beginning? Was the whole path lit up for you before you got in the car? Absolutely not. But what you had was.
was enough to begin the process of getting from where you were to where you needed to be. And so you made the decision to get in the car and turn the lights on. Now, using that exact same metaphor, think about how crazy, counterproductive, just nonsensical it is to stay in that parking lot in the dark with your groceries.
