𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻:

If you had a chat with “Present Me” and “2005 Me,” it would feel like talking to two completely different people.

One was a Special Operations Forces Officer.
The other runs several successful businesses and is a coach.

Here’s why this matters for you…

We all tend to think we’ve reached our “final form” or that who we are now is who we’ll always be.

But that’s a total myth.

As Dr. Daniel Gilbert puts it, “𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱.”

I learned this twice:
First in Special Forces selection, where no one starts as an Operator – you become one.
Then in business, where your challenges transform you into who you need to be.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
That big goal you’re hesitating about?
Improving your health, relationships, finding your purpose….?

It’s not meant for who you are today.

It’s meant for who you’ll become in pursuit of it.

Because you don’t rise to the level of your goals.
You rise to the level of your growth.

Think about who you were 10 years ago.
What were you into? What did you care about? What were your goals?

I bet your life was completely different back then, right?

So why wouldn’t you change just as much in the next 10 years?

Here’s the truth: your current self is just temporary.

You’re always becoming someone new.

In Special Forces, we never waited until we felt ready.
We started, and let the mission transform us.

𝗦𝗼, 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳: 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?

And start imagining how amazing that future version of you can be.
