Been thinking about this lately and wanted to share in case it helps anyone here... so for the longest time i was consuming everything. podcasts, courses, mentorship calls, books... learning constantly. but my actual business results? barely moved for several years, just stayed stagnated. took me way too long to realize i was treating an internal problem like an external one. heres what i mean... theres basically two types of stuck. i call them BOULDERS and FOG. boulders are external obstacles. real barriers. you push harder, you get results. more effort = more progress. fog is internal. limiting beliefs, fear, mindset stuff. and heres the thing... you cant push through fog. pushing harder just exhausts you. the trap most of us fall into is we keep adding more tactics, more strategies, more hours when the actual problem is we cant see clearly the symptom that tells you its fog? effort isnt producing proportional results. youre working 60+ hours but people with seemingly less effort are getting better outcomes. thats usually a sign. for me it was the belief that i was "smaller" than I am - long story short, I grew up in a third world country run by a dictator for 24 years, couple with an overly critical and punitive father, and that gave me a shame-based self identity of smallness for a very long time. I wasnt even aware it was running my decisions until i really looked at it once i spotted that the issue wasnt more information or better tactics but something i couldnt see because i was IN it... everything shifted what actually helped: stopped and asked is this fog or boulder? if effort isnt working its probably fog got external perspective. others can see what you cant see when youre inside the fog. this community is good for that tbh traced the belief back. where did i first learn this? usually childhood. does that source deserve to run my business decisions today? usually no lol gave myself permission to try the easier path. sounds dumb but some of us literally cant let ourselves succeed without suffering first

I want to share with you one story. About two weeks ago, I was thinking about where I could find a high‑quality channel for communicating with like‑minded people. I believed that such a channel existed and easily let it go. And only now have I caught myself thinking that the realization happens instantly — if you believe and don’t strain yourself in frantic searching, everything works out quickly and better than you could imagine! I’m in this chat where the gurus on this topic communicate without boundaries and help each other. And the author of the book himself is communicating directly — that’s awesome! Once again, I thank David and everyone who makes this channel better! After all, that’s the whole point — to help each other, to fuel one another with our energy and support. 🤝 Ps: believe in yourself, just believe, and miracles and magic will become a part of your life.

Goodnight everyone I am here for a breakthrough in my life honestly! I’m saying it openly

Share below! We'd love to hear any lessons on shedding this pattern, and any benefits from having shed this pattern. For many of us, this pattern started early—learning that to be loved, valued, or safe, we had to please others first. Sometimes it meant becoming the "good one," the agreeable one, the one who keeps the peace. Sometimes it meant abandoning our own needs, desires, and truth to make others comfortable. Here's what we're curious about: - What was the moment (or gradual realization) that made us finally stop? - Who did we think we had to be to receive love or validation? - What did choosing authenticity over approval actually look like for us? The shift often happens when we realize: it's not our responsibility to "fix" or "please" others. Our real responsibility is to show up as our authentic selves—even when it feels uncomfortable, even when it risks disapproval. Being real and having the courage to express who we truly are? That's where real connection lives. That's where our power returns. Drop your story in the comments. What pattern did you break, and how did breaking it change your life? 👇 P.S. If releasing people-pleasing and other emotional blocks feels like a journey you're ready to deepen, check out Mental Health Resolver in the Classroom—it's designed specifically to help us break free from these patterns and step into authentic power.
