Get unstuck – fast!

If you’re aiming for big change but finding yourself really, seriously, depressingly stuck there is one, surefire way to get moving:

Set fire to the tightrope.

Find some way to put pressure on yourself, to act [before the rope burns through!]

Here are some examples:

• Quit your job before you find another one
• Email everyone you know to say that if you don’t finish the course by the end of the year you will donate $2000 to charity
• Tell your boss you’d like to present a series of talks to the group: starting this Monday.
• Book [and pay for] a one-person-trip to South America
• Cut up all your credit cards.

If you’re sitting there on the tightrope, too scared to go forward, there’s a possibility you could end up sitting there forever. Seriously: f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

Light a fire [what form would your fire take?] and see what happens!
