Do you want to learn something new?
Do you want to change parts of your life?
You have the potential. If you want to change anything in your life—whether it’s your
or anything else—you need to look deep within yourself. You also need to understand why you want this change before you can make it happen.
Let’s take waking up earlier as an example. It might not seem like a big goal, but if you think about it, waking up late every day has a ripple effect on your life. For me, waking up late meant starting my day feeling rushed, and that’s not a great way to kick things off.
Over the years, I’ve heard countless friends and clients say, “I want to wake up earlier, but I just can’t.” The truth is, it’s not just about setting an alarm. It’s about breaking the cycle of exhaustion that’s been holding you back for too long. Once you break that cycle, your body starts to realise that waking up early is good for your physical and mental health. And guess what? You’ll naturally start waking up earlier.
This all comes down to making time to rest and not be left feeling overwhelmed. It is not just about waking early. It is breaking the cycle of feeling exhausted, The cycle that has affected you for far too long. Once you break this cycle your body realises that waking up early is good for your physical and mental health. Thus it makes you start to naturally wake up early.
When I was young
I used to feel forced to wake up early. I’d wake up angry, and that negative energy would spill over into the rest of my day. I’d say things like, “I want to be a morning person,” but what I really meant was, “I want to wake up early, but I’m going to bed too late.”
Back then, I didn’t have any major problems—just the usual teenage drama of figuring out where I was going that night. But as I got older, I realised I wanted more time for myself in the mornings. I wanted a routine that worked for me. The catch? I’m not a planner—I live for the day.
The Hidden Intentions Behind Our Words
Over time, I’ve learned that our true intentions are often hidden beneath our words. When we say things like, “I wish I was a morning person,” what we’re really expressing is resentment or frustration. Sometimes, when we criticise others, we’re actually projecting our own desires.
If you find yourself doing this, ask yourself:
- What’s upsetting me?
- Why am I spending so much energy talking about this person’s actions?
- What do I really need?
While recovering from abuse
During my recovery from brain damage and an abusive relationship, I started to see life differently. I’d been on tramadol, prescribed by my ex-girlfriend, but I took myself off it to regain control of my life. I knew waking up early would help me get out of the house and away from my abuser. It gave me the strength to face reality.
At the time, I had a dog, a cat, a few chickens, and an abusive ex. I was working two jobs to pay off debts, and sleep was the last thing on my mind—especially after a particularly rough night. But I knew I had to make a change.
The Power of Belief
You might be reading this and thinking, “I don’t need a wake-up early routine.” But deep down, you know there are parts of your life you’re ignoring because you believe they’re unfixable. The truth is, there’s always potential for change. You can heal and transform almost anything in life.
Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of thinking, “I’ll never solve this problem, so what’s the point?” If you believe that, you’re sending that energy out into the universe, and the universe will respond accordingly.
I’m not asking you to push yourself down that road right now. I’m just asking you to consider the possibility of finding it one day—when you’re ready.
What Do You Really Want?
Waking up early is just one example. The real question is: What do you want that you know will change your life for the better? What feels impossible because of your beliefs or mental blocks?
Life is full of ups and downs, but they’re all part of the journey to creating the best life possible. When we hold onto negative beliefs, we stay stuck in a cycle. But when we let go of what’s trapping us, that’s when we find freedom.
A Lesson from Cambodia
When I moved to Cambodia, I noticed my neighbours waking up at the same time every day—without an alarm. They’d gently sweep outside or feed the chickens, and I always wondered how they did it.
It wasn’t until I started letting the sun wake me up that I understood. The light peeking through the curtains wasn’t an annoyance—it was a gift. It reminded me to be present.
Takeaway
If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my journey, it’s that I have what it takes to create change. And so do you.
You might have quit a million times, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes, quitting is just redirecting your energy—and that’s a good thing. Don’t keep doing something that isn’t working.
What you call quitting might just be starting over with a new perspective.
Ready to make a change?
Start small. Whether it’s waking up earlier, improving your health, or working on your relationships, remember: you have the potential.
