Take a look in the mirror and be honest with yourself:

Are you happy right now? 

Seriously. Do you feel like, maybe, you could be more? do more? have more? 

Let’s face it: whether it’s mindlessly hacking away at our jobs or binge-watching Netflix every night, so many of us get complacent with our lives.

As for the rest of society? I mean, take a look around. You see it, right?

Your friends finishing college. Your family members pursuing their dreams. And everywhere else, strangers walking around with a purpose. Suddenly, it could look as if everyone is on the path to success. Well…everyone...except you. 

We’ve struggled with that before, and if you’re in the same situation, then it’s easy to feel as if the world is against you. Y’know: envious to think “that should have been me.”

But come on. Sooner or later, we all have to take responsibility 'cause, unfortunately, with or without you, the rest of the world continues on.


That's why envy always turns into guilt: “that should have been me” becomes “I should have done that too…” It becomes “what if I didn’t waste my time all these years?” It becomes “what could have I done differently?”

Ultimately, it becomes questioning ourselves. Every. Single. Freaking. Day. 

But let’s get real for a second. That CAN still be you. You can change “if” into “is” and “what could’ve been” into what you’re becoming. It’s not about what you could’ve done differently anymore. It’s about what you’re going to DO differently. Right here, right now.

You see, the truth is, no matter what happened in the past, you can control what happens in the next chapter of your life. But to do that, you gotta let go of the small, daily habits. Instead, you gotta search for something that’ll redirect the story of your life drastically. 

And that something? A catalyst. A catalyst for change.

In today’s episode of The Sage & The Outlaw, we talk about how to create exponential growth in your life by changing your circumstances. What it means to step foot into a point of no return. How to construct challenges in your everyday life. Creating opportunities that are so large, so urgent, and so lifechanging, that you have no choice but to grow – to push the boundaries of what you think is possible.

But look, no matter what we tell you, here's a harsher truth: it doesn’t really matter.

Why?

Because at the end of the day, once again, we all have to take responsibility.

So, will you accept the challenge?

Or will you continue to look in the mirror, knowing nothing will change (except the guilt of never living up to your own standards)?

You decide.
