Flipping The Switch To Change Your Life..

Yesterday a student in 12 Months To Mastery ( My year long coaching program) was asking me how I can be so confident in making life decisions, especially when it came to moving to new cities or cutting people out of my life.

I had rarely verbalized what I do mentally in these situations, but internally I've known for a long time.

I call it "Flipping The Switch".

Once I decide that some person, place, or thing is unhealthy for me, I immediately cut them or it out of my life. Like that person, idea, belief etc, was fucking cancer. You know what you don't do with cancer? You don't talk to it or try to get it to change. You get rid of it ASAP. All traces of it, so that your body looks as much as possible like it was never even there. Then you try to forget it as quickly as you can.

That can sound really harsh, I know.

But I think about it like this, life is short and uncertain. Any one of us could live to be 100 or, get hit by a bus tomorrow. Life is too short to deal with people, places or things within your control that don't make you not just happy, but ecstatically happy. You owe it to yourself, to respect yourself enough to not put up with bad situations and hope that someone else will come in and save you.

You have a lot more control over your circumstances than most people want to believe, and you don't have to settle.

You can always flip the switch and start again.

Have a great weekend.
