Many people rush through their days, busy yet lost, like driving a Ferrari at full speed without a destination. The truth is,
Begin by reflecting on your life’s different areas — your finances, relationships, health, and career. Ask yourself: Where am I honestly? What’s working, and what’s not? This process requires courage to face reality without excuses. For example, someone might say they are financially secure, yet their debts and expenses paint a different picture. Recognizing this gap is liberating because it allows you to make informed decisions.
Once you have a clear picture of where you are, the next step is envisioning where you want to go. But this vision must be vivid and emotionally charged.

This gentle approach makes change sustainable and less intimidating.
Now that you’ve begun to understand your starting point and your vision, it’s time to explore the internal forces that may be holding you back. Let’s delve into the next chapter to uncover the hidden villain within and learn how to starve it.
