Today you realize life is shit. You have no money. Your boss is an a**hole. You hate your job. Your family thinks you're a loser. You're drowning under a pile of debt. Your girlfriend left you for a real man with a real job and a real body or whatever.
But unlike other days, today is different because you REALIZE all of this and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Right then you commit to change. You say, today I stop being such a pussy. Today my life turns around because I see clearly now. I'm tired of this shit and I'm not going to take it anymore! So you form a plan and make a grand proclamation about your failures and the stand you're about to take.
And then... You do nothing.
I like the idea of f*ck this events. I've had plenty of them. But FTE's are a catalyst for change, not the change itself.
They're moments of temporary clarity. Moments when the universe gives you a chance to choose a different destiny. But choice alone does not create change, just as the choice to leap from the tracks will not stop you from being smashed by a train if you fail to leap.
FTE's do not change the actions you have to take or the risks of taking them. They awaken you to the true pain of your situation. They show you how pathetic you really are. But you still have to DO THE HARD PART.
FTE's aren't magic.
Your life does not transform because you have a moment of clarity. You have to choose change, and then find the courage to act upon that choice.
If you cannot find that courage, you are a coward.
And until you find that courage, you will remain a coward, maybe even until the day you die.
FTE's are wake up calls. They're calls-to-action. Not the action itself.
Until you face fear, risk, and failure, and then go forward anyway, everything remains the same.
