The Harsh Truth About Why Most People Stay Stuck
I need to share something real with you today because this is EXACTLY why most people never achieve their goals. About a week ago, I spoke with “sue” who had been struggling with her weight for over 30 years. She is 250 lbs, borderline diabetic, dealing with low blood pressure, depression, and sugar cravings, and had tried everything….fasting, extreme diets, even battling bulimia at one point. She wanted to do gastric bypass, ozempic, or a sleeve. Then…. She finally decided to take action. She had a strong why—her family. She wanted to be around for her son/daughter, take care of herself, and finally feel proud when she looked in the mirror. But the second things got hard? She started making excuses. She started playing the victim. She quit before she even tried. • Not one workout completed. • Not one meal tracked. • Not a single action taken toward the goals she said were important. Instead, it was just one excuse after another: ❌ “This is too hard.” ❌ “This isn’t working for me.” ❌ “I don’t like that you told me to buy a $40 piece of equipment.” But what she never said was: ✅ “I’m struggling, but I’m trying.” ✅ “I showed up, but I need help.” Because the truth? She never actually tried. And now, just days after saying she was “ready,” she’s walking away from her goal again. Here’s the brutal truth: She’s not just quitting on this program. She’s quitting on herself. She’s quitting on her kids. She’s quitting on the future she said she wanted. And this is why most people stay stuck. They want change, but they aren’t willing to do the work. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have it all figured out. But you DO have to take action. The people who actually change their lives? 🔥 They don’t quit when it’s hard. 🔥 They don’t complain about every little thing. 🔥 They SHOW UP, even when they don’t feel like it. So ask yourself right now: Are you actually committed to change? Or are you just another person who will quit when things aren’t convenient?
