You vs. You

When you shift from “I don't want to let other people down” to “I don't want to let me down,” then that's when the change happens. It's a lot of pressure to let someone else down, and a lot of people can't take that pressure. However, when you say you don't want to let yourself down, then that puts fire to your ass because the only person you really can control or will have to blame is you. 

No one is going to blame you for letting you down. Only you are going to have to sit with the choices you have made in your life. Anddd, let me tell you, I think that will hit a lot harder than letting someone else down. 

The moment you make this shift, then it may become easier to not let others down because really you're living for yourself, and there is a special power with that.
