You’re Not Afraid to Fail. You’re Afraid to Succeed.

Описание: Self-sabotage isn't a lack of discipline; it’s your brain’s way of protecting the version of you it already knows. When you get close to a breakthrough, your identity system detects a threat—not from failure, but from the stranger you'll become if you actually succeed.

In this video, we move past the "just do it" advice and look at the evolutionary mechanics of why you stop right before the finish line. You aren't broken; you're designed for survival. By learning to negotiate with your resistance instead of fighting it, you can finally take the micro-steps that lead to permanent identity-level change.

The Invisible Battle:

Why your brain prefers a "known struggle" over an "unknown success."

The "2 AM realization" that keeps you stuck in the cycle of fresh starts.

The specific sentence that disarms your internal alarm system.

How to stop being the "person with potential" and start being the person who follows through.
