ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE SCALE, OR JUST SUCKING IN YOUR STOMACH? 🤔

Let's start with a bit of humor, because sometimes the truth is easier to digest when wrapped in laughter! 😂

Two friends, Kire and Buci, are having a chat:

Kire: "Buci, how many kilograms are you?"

Buci: "When I suck my stomach in, I'm 120 kg!"

Kire: "And when you don't?"🤔

Buci: "Well, I don't know! Then I can't see the scale!" 🤦🤣🤣

We laugh, but let's pause for a moment. Isn't this joke actually a metaphor for how we often live? On a deeper, committed level, don't we also "suck in our stomach" when facing reality?

How often do we deceive ourselves and manipulate our own results? We know there's no progress, or that it's minimal, yet in front of others (and in front of ourselves), we pretend everything is perfect. We hide who we truly are.

Maybe we pretend to be experts in a certain field. We have a diploma, a title, a position... but deep down, we know we are not that. We know we haven't "earned" those honors in the way we project to the public. On a subconscious level, we know we aren't yet at that level. Yet, we continue to play the role.

This is a trap. 🪤 A trap of the mind. A false illusion we build to protect ourselves.

But in the long run, this manipulation only leads to ruin. Instead of continuing with lies to ourselves (and then to others), real strength is in confession. You don't have to confess to anyone. Confess to yourself. Stop and say: "I am not what I pretend to be. I really don't know and I don't have values at this level."

In that moment, when you confess to yourself, change begins. ✨

Then, and only then, will you gain the energy to start learning new skills. Energy that will transform you into a truly successful person. Do not be discouraged! When you say: "I don't know, but I want to learn," then your learning goes fast. With that mindset and with that honest energy, you can do anything.

You can be very, very, VERY successful. But first, drop your stomach and look at the scale. Realistically.😇🙋🫂❤️‍🔥💪
