232: The Personal Finance Version of a GLP-1

Why? Well, it's pretty simple.

Everybody wants to look good.

Everybody wants to feel good.

Everybody wants to be healthy, strong, lean, energetic, and attractive.

Every one of us.

And if you say that you don't, You're probably BSing yourself to say that you would not want to look a little bit better if you were to go to the beach and take your shirt off.

That's a natural thing.

I think we just need to be honest with ourselves and lean into it.

But simply wanting something super bad doesn't get it for you.

Obviously, we know that that's true.

Wanting to be lean does not make you lean.

Wanting to be strong does not make you strong.

Wanting to be healthy does not make you healthy.

In order to get those things, there must be an intervention of some kind.

And that intervention might be changing what it is that you eat.

It might be moving your body and exercising.

It might even just be sleeping more.

It might be addressing an underlying medical issue.

Who knows? might be taking medication under the supervision of a qualified professional.

But, foundationally and fundamentally, something must interrupt the existing pattern.

Otherwise, nothing changes because the existing pattern is what created the current existing result.
