Transformation Happens In An Instant

I don’t believe in time.

With every single client I work with, I work quick. I work NOW. And I push them and drag them and prod them toward the finish line.

Quick!

You want to live in bliss. You want to make great work. You want to achieve success. You want to be a better parent. You want to be a better husband. You want to make your dreams come true.

You’ve been told that it’s a process. You’ve been told it takes time. You’ve been told Rome wasn’t built in a day.

If Rome wasn’t built in a day that’s only because the goal wasn’t to build it in a day!

Let me ask you a question.

How much time have you already spent trying?

How many years, how many decades have you spent in the process?

Has it worked?

Has it?

You love the word process. You adore the concept of time.

What blissful luxuries, are they not?

What fantastic walls they make to hide behind. How convenient they are. How comfortable they make you feel. It feels wonderful to forever avoid today in exchange for that abstract thing called tomorrow.

Time is not on your side. It isn’t on anyone’s side. It just rolls. And believe you me, it rolls quick!

Of all the people who have died in the last 365 days, how many do you think were waiting for their process to be completed? How many of them actually completed it? Take a guess.

You’re not alone. The world is with you. They are procrastinating just like you. They are also waiting for that one glorious moment to act.

When the coast is clear. And the conditions are perfect. They will reveal their creativity to the world. They will finally complete the transformation they have been thinking about for 35 years.

Though it may be sunny when you are ready to reveal yourself, it will rain soon after. This much I guarantee you.

What will you do then?

Will you retreat and wait for another sunny day?

In the meantime, while the seasons change you will remain just as you are. You will remain a living, breathing promise. And all you will have to show for yourself will be a pound of words and a satchel of well-rehearsed excuses.

If things take time . . .

If there is such a thing as a process . . .

It begins in the middle of the journey. Not at the beginning of it.

The beginning is all about self-destruction. Self-annihilation. Overwhelming vulnerability. And tingling fear.

Enough with the trite aphorisms. And the age-old bumper stickers.

No more excuses.

I could care less about what the coast looks like. And I have no respect for time. Or the stage of your life. Or your unpreparedness. Or your six thousand questions. Or your backup plan. Or all the ingenious excuses.

Listen to me!

Unless you are willing to get up right this minute, pull the door off its hinges and stand naked in the pouring rain, you are doomed to live another decade just as you are!

When you can stand in public and scream your manifesto at the top of your lungs . . .

When you are willing to be smacked with ripe tomatoes . . .

When you are willing to swim against the current of the thoughts that have held you back . . .

When you are willing to be ridiculed and mocked and cursed and humiliated . .

When the pain of vulnerability is no longer a match for the agony of the status quo . . .

You will not only be ready . . .

You will act.

And you will act that very day.

You will feel it. And it will feel you.

The day that you have been waiting for will finally have arrived.

And transformation will be waiting just for you. With arms wide open.
