The Real Reason You’re Stuck

When we go all in and stake our claim, this is when reality begins to shift. Our resolve is the only thing that can save us. Waiting around for someone else to do it simply doesn’t work. Wishing and hoping and praying takes us nowhere without firmness of purpose and action.

When we have been through much pain, heartache and betrayal, it’s easier to just give up. It’s always easier to just give up…at least it seems that way. When we just give up and leave things as they are, that’s just what they are. All the things that hurt us just play on repeat. Is that really the easier path? It takes all of our effort to go all in, but what is the alternative? A life on repeat? No thank you. We can instead become grateful for the difficulties that taught us what we needed to know, and dive into learning how to move past it in a more healed state. 

Choose each path intentionally and play all out.. Choose healing emotionally, mentally, psychically, in our relationships, our wealth, our careers, our mindsets and most of all, our hearts. Begin. They all must be attended to. Let clarity of purpose and persistence get you there. This is your life we’re talking about here.  Go all in on yourself and create that future you long for lest your old tapes will continue to play on repeat.
