005: The Two Most Life-Sucking Words You Can Tell Yourself

by Mike Kim Leave a Comment

Behold two of the most sleep-stealing, life-sucking, worry-causing words I tell myself: “By now.”

Fight as I may, they always seem to find a way to seep into my thoughts. Maybe you’ve said a few of these to yourself:

  • By now…I should be out of debt.
  • By now…I should have lost 20 lbs.
  • By now…I should be finished with school.
  • By now…I should have kicked that habit.
  • By now…I should be married.
  • By now…I should have a bigger house.
  • By now…I should be famous.
  • By now…I should know what I want to do with my life.

In this episode, you’ll learn practical steps on how to deal with “by now” syndrome, as well as the concept of “death by a thousand cuts”. You’ll also learn how to position yourself for greater opportunities.
