"We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are" - Ep 294

In this episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee Kemp and Ryan Boniface discuss the transformative power of change, inspired by the quote, "We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are." The conversation delves into the challenges and rewards of self-growth, emphasizing that true progress often requires stepping out of comfort zones and shedding limiting beliefs. Lee and Ryan explore how embracing change—even when uncomfortable or forced upon us—can help us break free from self-imposed restrictions. They reflect on how statements like "That's just who I am" can become self-fulfilling barriers, limiting our potential. Through their personal insights, they encourage listeners to adopt a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability.

Ryan introduces the Kubler-Ross Change Curve, a seven-step process that illustrates the emotional stages we go through when faced with change—from shock and denial to acceptance and integration. This model serves as a valuable guide for navigating both personal and external transformations. The hosts agree that accepting these stages can help us work through difficult changes more constructively. Whether it's rethinking daily habits or taking on bigger challenges, Lee and Ryan advocate for being one’s own coach, pushing oneself through discomfort toward growth.
