Six signs you’re probably going to struggle until you die
Let’s jump straight in…
1. You prioritise others over your freedom.
So many people sacrifice their own joy to please others — often a partner or family member.
Yes, I get it — there are people in our lives who need support. But here’s where you invite unnecessary struggle: you fail to put yourself first.
Many de-prioritise themselves, not because of circumstance, but out of choice. You can support others without eroding your freedoms and joys.
You must make non-negotiable time for your freedom.
The most selfless thing you can do is to put yourself first.
2. You lack the courage to choose one thing.
A super reliable way to ensure your life becomes harder is never to have the guts to focus intensely on one thing. Sure, enjoy novelty and try lots of stuff.
But this can’t replace the need to go all-in on one thing. Write that book to completion.
Build that happy family. Learn Russian until fluent. Stop quitting businesses that needed a few more weeks of your attention.
