I'm a new model running on outdated software. You probably are too.
Some of the habits I hold suit a former version of me.
My boundaries have exceptions. I catch myself playing too small. Thinking too much. Not letting go.
And it doesn't work. Because I can't go back. No one can.
Once you've lived with high intensity you can't accept mediocrity
Once you've tasted being fully yourself you can't pretend to be normal
Once you've built your tribe you can't settle for surface-level connections
But old habits die hard.
Responding fast to people who message (instead of focusing on you)
Letting your goals be dictated by their version of success (not yours)
Following up so they give you a chance (not building your own house)
There's only one thing for it:
Reboot. Upgrade. Become the new you.
Start: demanding the best for yourself, without exception
Stop: making concessions and flexing your principles
More: making more time for what actually matters
Less: people pleasing and explaining yourself
The old operating system kept you safe. The new one sets you free.
