Why your life hasn't changed (no matter how hard you've tried)
6/15/202619 min
Now I LOVE personal growth, I’m very aware that I have built my career on talking about systems and habits and discipline. But I also know firsthand how frustrating it is when you follow all the steps and nothing really changes at the level you hoped it would.
So today I want to go past the ten step lists, not because they are useless, but because they are incomplete on their own, and I want to talk about why your life might not have changed even though you have genuinely been trying really hard.
