Nobody on this planet struggles with consistency. In fact, if you have any kind of addiction or compulsion with something damaging in your life – porn, masturbation, social media, drugs, alcohol, checking out girls, paying for sex etc. – it proves that you can in fact be consistent! The question is not how do you become more consistent, the question is why are you choosing to do something damaging on a consistent basis? Today's episode breaks down this concept in more detail and offers a practical exercise to tackle this issue in your own life.

217 - The Closer To The Wound, The Greater The Pain
The Latin word for vulnerable is a derivative "woundable" – this gives us stark insight into just how sensitive and tender vulnerability can be.
