"Five minutes each week that might change your life." Hey there, Every newsletter promises to change your life. This one doesn't. But it might make you uncomfortable enough to actually do something about yours. I'm Mark. I've sold millions of books, mostly because I spent years failing at the same things you're probably failing at. Then I got tired enough of my own bullsh*t to start writing about it. Now everything I make is about removing the bullsh*t. People usually stick around because I keep pointing them back to that. HERE'S HOW THIS WORKS: On Mondays, you'll get one idea, one question, and one thing to try. A five-minute read that sets your week on the right track. On Thursdays, you'll get a short essay where I think out loud about an idea that might change your life. I'm not going to feed you fluff, or "5 easy steps," or pretend life isn't hard. If you want someone to tell you everything's fine, scroll down and hit unsubscribe right now. You're in the wrong place. Still here? Good. Let's not wait until Monday to start. ONE THING TO THINK ABOUT The best way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them. TWO THINGS TO ASK YOURSELF Are you trying to change because you genuinely want to grow—or because you don't like who you are right now? What happens if you accept the part of you that you’ve been trying to reject? Recommended: Use these as journaling prompts today. ONE THING TO TRY THIS WEEK Stop trying to change one thing about yourself—and change the situation instead. Then, let me know what happens. Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.
