One thing that helped me a lot mentally was asking myself brutally honest questions.
Like, not in a motivational way. More like “If someone watched a full replay of my day, what would they think I’m trying to become?”
That one hit me hard. Because the answer wasn’t what I wanted it to be.
I realized I kept saying I had goals, but my habits were building a completely different life.
No big meltdown or dramatic moment, just a quiet realization that I was lying to myself in small ways every day.
What helped wasn’t some grand plan, but just sitting with those uncomfortable truths and writing stuff down until it made sense.
It’s wild how much clarity comes when you stop running from your own thoughts.
If you’re ever in that weird space where you know you’re meant for more but can’t figure out what’s missing, try asking what your daily actions are actually building. For me, that changed everything.
There is this book called "The Voice Of My Future Self" by Emory Eubanks that talks about this in detail. (if you can't find it just google "xenzars") This book will change your reality. Remember: nothing changes if nothing changes, so take action.
