The cost of levelling up
Honesty Hour!
Self-improvement, personal growth, reaching goals, and working for your own dreams DO come at a certain cost. This is why so many people might never even try to pursue what they actually want to do and instead choose the pain or cost of regret. However, the cost of leveling up pales in comparison to the alternative cost of regret for not pursuing our dreams and aspirations.
So what does it take when deciding to have faith and make the empowered choice to pursue a fulfilling life on purpose?
You got to embrace uncertainty and be willing to step into the unknown. There is no blueprint you can follow, you are the one to create your own roadmap to your success. However, this also means that with every step you take, you will discover new strengths, unlock hidden potential and cultivate resilience. You learn to figure stuff out and learn by doing along the way. (prime example from my side: since starting my own business I learned to master 13+ systems!)
You need to be dedicated to your goals and disciplined enough to show up every day to take the required and most importantly consistent action. You will need to invest time and energy (as you would with staying where you are) the difference is the journey because you know you do it for yourself and your own happiness. This feeling is irreplicable. The rewards gained in terms of personal satisfaction and growth far outweigh the investment
You will feel discomfort on a daily as you keep on pushing beyond your comfort zone. You will face fears and take risks. But this is also what will expand your limits, crush your self-doubt, develop new perspectives and be a leader in life and inspiration for others. You are embodying paving a path of self-belief and opportunities, and this is what will change the world. Staying in the hamster wheel and conforming to all the norms and expectations may grant you an easy life, but will not create the change you want to see in this world. It takes you, to do it. No one else.
Whilst these may be valid worries, also know this, Choosing to forego personal growth and settle for a life of comfort and mediocrity may seem easier in the short term (yes, here you go, I said it, and you know why? Because you are SO worthy and capable of so much more!!!).
However, the cost of regret can be significant and long-lasting. Regret arises from the realization that you never pursued your dreams or fully embraced your potential. It can lead to feelings of stagnation, unfulfilled potential, and a life tinged with "what ifs."
What do you want to remember the most about yourself and your life, looking back at old age?
What stories do you want to tell?
What do you wish for your kids?
And last but not least, embracing a better YOU does not have to be hard. This is why I created a course for you to build a strong foundation of self-awareness and start kicking the self-doubt in the peach and instead activate your inner strengths so you can realise your potential and change your life for the better.
And that’s another thing, growth will never ever make your life worse off than it is now, it can only improve! The ROI is exactly what you put in and is utterly in your control. Knowing this, why would you not do it?
