It's time to quit working on 'losing the last couple pounds' and start working on being the person who doesn't have to.
How many times do we end up in the same position? Losing 20lbs just to gain 20lbs, making more money just to keep less, focusing on results but trying to find shortcuts to get there.
This is the fundamental problem - as humans we are so focused on results that we forget the easiest way to see them is to change who we are. Our priorities, our values, our support system, our daily structure.
Living the life that you want involves developing skills, creating habits and stacking wins to prove that your identity matches who you truly want to become.
