Did you know our brains compare instinctively? Meaning it's often not even a conscious choice we make, it just happens.

"Comparison is the crush of conformity from one side and competition from the other—it’s trying to simultaneously fit in and stand out."

After coaching 1000s of people & helping them change their lives it felt fitting on episode #200 to share just how simple this is when we get to the root cause. And that’s what this episode is: The #1 most important thing, the one thing you need to do in order to change your life. So often we think we just need to do more, prioritise better or be more disciplined… But this is all surface level, it never addresses the root cause of why that isn’t working long term & what *really* needs to change.
