Episode #526: Are You Suspended In Mediocrity?

0:00 14:24

Most of us are brilliant at staying exactly where we do not want to be and building a perfectly rational case for why we cannot leave. The if-then loop. When this happens THEN I will. When the kids are older. When I have more money. When the time is right. Sound familiar? In this episode we get into why that loop is not a plan but instead a prison, and why resisting the system just builds a bigger wall around you. Mediocrity ends here. It does not get to pass through you. Keep going.
