What do you do when you feel trapped? Wake up, do the thing, hope it gets better, go to sleep. A lot of people live their whole life this way. Now, they might wake up to a big life change like moving. And even though it looks a little different, the loop continues. better, go to sleep. And yes, we can keep hoping, but a friend of mine once told me that hope is not a strategy. So, if you want things to change, replace hope with a goal. And then try this. Wake up. Do the thing. Take a step towards your goal. Go to sleep. Wake up. Do the thing. Take a step towards your goal. Go to sleep. And although it's only one small step a day, and it might be a well little jarring, but one day I'll wake up, see where you came from, realize you made it. But to get here, you'll need to go all the way back to the beginning.
