Massive growth happens when you realize that taking a loss isn't as big of a deal, as holding fear is.
Always prefer loss to fear, and take the chance.
On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective.
No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them.
The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

The reason you don't see results is not because you're lazy or unmotivated.
Those are just the symptoms.
Let's look at the root cause that's holding you back:
There is no way to include drinking, sugar, drugs and other cheap addictions in your life and also be your best happiest self.
There is no balance or compromise they will make with you. No little healthy barter you can make.
They will always demand your sleep, energy, appearance , health and performance be the price for a short buzz.
For a brief moment of bliss you will pay it back with days and eventually years of lost time, momentum and youth.
They will always make the buzz shorter to make you want a higher dose, which in turn demands a higher price.
They will never make the things important to you easier or ever compensate to help you accomplish them.
They will trick you into thinking they unlock your personality, social skills, ability to handle stress, relax, enjoy people and have fun when they are actually the block.
They accept no compromise. They give no benefit. Even slight use lets them sink their claws in you and start tricking your brain into thinking they make your life better while they sap away your power and ability to live it to its max.
Any other response other than no is simply cope to convince yourself a destructive behavior is adding to your life. To justify abuse because you think the abuse is giving you some benefit you can’t have on your own.
They will persuade you that being fat, ugly, slow, tired, sloppy and giving up your purpose is required to be happy n live life and if you believe them you will try every way possible to accommodate them.
It’s not worth it. The price is to high. The benefit to low. You already have to everything you need to be social, deal with stress and be deliriously happy…
They can only exist if they can convince you you don’t.

The LOSING mentality:
Thinking of everything that can go wrong with an idea.
The WINNING mentality:
Thinking of everything that can go right, and assessing the worst case scenario for trying.
