There is a solution. There's a solution if you're new. There's a solution if you've been in and out of this thing a while. There is a solution if you've been around this thing a little while, but the magic is gone. Almost none of us wanted to do the steps. Almost none of us saw them on the wall and were like, oh boy, that sounds like a good idea. I'd love to do that, you know? Liking the steps is not a prerequisite for doing them. Wanting to do the steps is not a prerequisite for doing them. Thinking the steps will work is not a prerequisite for doing them. Thinking I'm worthy of the results that can happen in my life is not a prerequisite for doing it. I don't have to wait. That's the bad news, guys. But that's the good news.
