Most people need to die.
Not literally.
They need to die to their old self.
To be reborn.
The truth about change:
Most people only adjust the outside – new clothes, new job, new habits.
But nothing shifts within.
They tweak the surface but never fully embrace the new identity needed for real transformation.
And eventually, we drift back.
Back to old habits → old results → feeling stuck.
Real change happens on the inside first.
• Your vision
• Your conviction
• Your identity
The outside follows like a shadow. It always does.
I’ve lived this transformation multiple times:
• From civilian to Commando to civilian
• From heavy drinker to abstainer
• From 15 kilos overweight to a fit health freak
• From broke to wealthy
Now I witness it in the people I coach.
From being single-dimensional (only making money) to multi-dimensional, prioritising:
– Physical and mental health
– Family and other relations
– Living epic adventures and making a lifetime of great memories
– Connecting with Life Purpose
Look back 10 years – you´re a completely different person now, aren’t you?
Different life circumstances, interests, and goals.
Yet we mistakenly think we won’t change much going forward.
Trust me, you will. Massively.
The only question is:
Will it be change you choose?
Or change that chooses you?
To truly transform, your old version must die.
Making space for rebirth.
For You 2.0… 3.0… 4.0
The caterpillar doesn’t tweak its way into a butterfly.
It completely dissolves before transforming.
What version of you is desperately waiting to emerge?
What version needs to die?
