Podcast Episode 302: Do You Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Change?

Oct 14, 2017 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on change.

 

People believe that you have to hit rock bottom to change.

  • Hitting rock bottom can be what facilitates change but it’s not necessary.
  • This can happen and thus it is true but not The Truth.

 

You can live your life without ever approaching rock bottom.

  • Figure out ways to open your eyes before you get to rock bottom.
  • Direction, not intention, determines destination.

 

People use intention as an excuse.

  • They say things like, “I never intended for this to happen.”
