How Long Will You Wait To Make A Change In Your Life
Have you ever reached a point where you were so fed up with your life that you knew it was time to change? I, Sean Michael Crane, did, and it led me from the brink of spending my life in prison to transforming my mindset and taking control of my future. This episode unfolds my journey of personal transformation, emphasizing that the perfect moment to make a change is a myth. It's about recognizing when you're tired of stagnation and using that frustration as fuel to take immediate and decisive action toward your goals. I'll walk you through the excuses we commonly make and how you can overcome those barriers to unlock your true potential.
Throughout this episode, I challenge the acceptance of mediocrity, especially for those stuck in unfulfilling situations. Together, we explore the power of massive action in personal growth, from cultivating new skills to fostering self-awareness and empowerment. Learn how consistency in positive actions can dismantle the fears and doubts that hold you back, ultimately leading to a more confident, impactful life. This is a call to transform not just your life, but to become a leader in your community and family, championing a meaningful difference in the world. Join me and let's commit to the journey of self-improvement and making a life we can be proud of.
The right time and the right moment is the moment that you get sick and tired of being stuck, of living below your potential, of letting your life pass you by, of taking these opportunities for granted, and you get pissed off and you say, fuck that, I don't care what happens, I'm going to change. Today, when I came home, I took massive action towards my goals and my dreams, because I had just been through a crazy experience, facing life in prison, serving five and a half years, like having everything taken away, and I made a promise to myself that when I got my second chance, I was all in. I was never gonna let fear hold me back. Welcome back to another episode of the Unstoppable Mindset Podcast. I'm your host, sean Michael Crane, and welcome back to another episode.

Speaker 1:I'm going to keep showing up and documenting my journey, you guys, and today I'm in a reflective state, reflecting on my journey, thinking about a very specific time in my life, and this message is for anybody that keeps putting off change. If you keep making excuses and waiting to change, I want you to listen and pay attention, because a lot of people they have these things in their lives that they want to change, whether it's your weight and your health, whether it's a relationship. Maybe you need to get sober, maybe you hate your job and you want to find a career that you love and make more money. Whatever it is, there's like this feeling inside of you where you're unhappy or unsatisfied with some element of your life. But you know, a lot of people have this situation happen where they have a moment of clarity, they feel that truth and it's undeniable, and then they make an excuse or they put it off and they continue to procrastinate over and over and over and they never change. And you know, because when you make decisions a certain way for a long period of time, it becomes a habit, it becomes very, very ingrained into who you are and at some point it's very difficult to change that.
Speaker 1:You know, and I remember a lot of moments in my life before I really took control of my life and got sober and started exercising and started going after my passions. You know, I remember I had these moments of clarity where I knew that I wasn't living the life I wanted to live. I knew that I had more to give to this world. I knew that I was just unsatisfied with my day-to-day but I didn't fucking change it, like, how crazy is that? Looking back, going okay, I'm not happy with all of these different things. I want to be sober. I don't want to live with my dad, who's an addict, and be stuck in the same house that I grew up in. I don't really want to be around these friends. We keep getting in trouble together. You know, like I don't like the job that I'm working, it's not something I'm passionate about and it's killing me physically. I'm climbing trees and carrying lumber all day. I, you know I want to make more money. I want to do something that makes me feel proud of myself. I want to be able to do things every day that, like, helped me build a life I'm proud of. Like I wasn't doing any of that. I knew that I wanted to change all of those things and I wasn't changing them.
Speaker 1:And you know, a lot of people find themselves in that position where then that becomes their life, like at one point, they finally just give up and they stop talking or thinking about change. But all the while, it's deep down inside of you, like a lot of you listening to this right now, you know exactly who you want to be and what you want to change. And I want to ask you Are you going to keep waiting and potentially wait your entire life? Because that's what's going to happen for most of you. You're going to wait. You're going to get older. There's always going to be a reason why you can't. You know whether, oh, you know the economy is bad right now. Or, oh, you know my kids are having a tough time in school, or, oh, I just went through a breakup. Or you know, right now it, when it's the right time. Newsflash the right time probably will never transpire in your life.
Speaker 1:The right time and the right moment is the moment that you get sick and tired of being stuck, of living below your potential, of letting your life pass you by, of taking these opportunities for granted, and you get pissed off and you say, fuck that, I don't care what happens. I'm going to change today. This moment, like change, takes place in an instant. It's an instantaneous shift in your perspective and mentality. Now, the results that you want take a long time to materialize, but that initial change, that spark, that catalyst, it happens in a split second, you know. And so many people wait. They wait until okay, I'm going to wait until I have kids, when I have more money and a secure job. You know, I'm going to wait to, like, lose weight and go to the gym January 1st because, like that's the New Year's resolution. You know, I'm going to wait until I have a good workout partner. I'm going to wait until I get this new gym membership. I'm going to wait and I'm going to start this diet Like dude.
Speaker 1:You guys are just procrastinating on who you want to be and you're actually developing that habit and that mentality. That is a loser's mentality. People who procrastinate let doubt and fear we're going to call that word dear doubt and fear combined. If you allow doubt and fear to dictate how you make decisions, you're going to become a lesser version of yourself. You're not going to love yourself. In fact, a lot of people end up hating themselves deep down inside because you're the one that's doing it to yourself. Like isn't that crazy? You're the one that's leading to living a life that you don't love, that you don't want. It's your decisions and your actions every day.
Speaker 1:And so I just want to share a little story with you guys because I was telling this to someone the other day about when I came home from prison. You know, I was working as a personal trainer, making $1,600 a month. I had no money, no assets. I was renting a room at my friend's dad's house, I was making my car payment, you know, I was paying my phone bill, and then I was broke every month. And that's around the time that me and my wife Jessica got connected and we started dating. And, you guys, I didn't wait for anything. When I came home, I took massive action towards my goals and my dreams, because I had just been through a crazy experience, facing life in prison, serving five and a half years, like having everything taken away, and I made a promise to myself that when I got my second chance I was all in and I wasn't. I was never going to let fear hold me back. I was never going to hold back ever again because I'd done that for so long.
Speaker 1:And you know a lot of people like I talk to guys and they're single and I go dude, what are you waiting for? Like aren't you going to get married or don't you want to have a chick right? And they're like oh well, I just want to wait until I'm more financially the wrong freaking mentality. Like I talk to guys all the time that want to quit their 9 to 5 and start a business for themselves because they know they can be successful and they have all the skill sets, and they go what are you waiting for? What are you going to do it? Man? They're like oh, I just got to save up a little more money. I want to be more secure first before I make this jump. You know, or I have a lot of guys that reach out to me, often about coaching. They want to lose weight. They want to build discipline, they want to build confidence. They want to change their habits. They have all the reasons in the world to, for their family, for their kids, for themselves. But then it's like oh, you know, I want to wait, man, I got a little debt I want to pay off before I invest in my health and fitness.
Speaker 1:Is you're literally putting off your future self and the person you want to be for a lame-ass excuse that you sold yourself on. That's not even viable, or true? Yeah, sure, we want to have more money in our bank account before we quit our 9 to 5. You know, sure you want to have this big, badass house and all this stuff, you know, before you think you can attract your dream woman? Sure, you want these scenarios and situations to be ideal and comfortable and easy. But the truth of the matter is it does not work that way. You will stay stuck for the rest of your life, and that's why most people do. They end up stuck in a life of mediocrity where they are at best average, because they are scared to go after what they want and they think they fool themselves. They trick themselves into believing that somehow, someday it's going to be easy and it's all just going to happen by itself. Dude, if you want to really change and get amazing results in life, let's say you want to be a multimillionaire, let's say you want to be shredded with abs, let's say you want to have the best relationship with your wife and just create the ultimate life All this stuff that you want, dude, it is a fucking grind to get there. You got to fight to get there, you got to go after it with everything that you possess internally. If you're not willing to do that, if you don't obsess over it, if you don't want it as bad as you want to breathe this air, you're probably not going to have it. And that's the truth.
Speaker 1:And this was my mentality coming home from prison when I saw my wife, jessica at the coffee shop. You know I had loved her from the first time that we spent time together. We were 23. And when I got to be around her again and we went on a couple of dates like I was just dude, I would do anything for her and I never thought about the money I didn't have, I never thought about the career I hadn't built, the home I didn't have, and she was attracted to my energy, my positivity. Like we would go to dinner and then I'd be like, hey, you want to go down to the beach and jump in the ocean? And she'd look at me like what the hell? Like I was spontaneous, I was exciting, I was different, and it's because I wasn't waiting to build my life, I wasn't waiting to develop a relationship, I wasn't waiting to go after the things I wanted to have in life. I was going after them like my life depended on it, because I got a second chance, like I said, and I knew what was at stake if I didn't really go after the things I want in life.
Speaker 1:And a lot of you guys don't know that pain and that's why you procrastinate but you suffer in silence your thoughts, your energy, your emotions. Like you're not happy, you're not thriving. You might have moments of pleasure and joy, but are you really thriving? If you're listening to this right now, I want you to reflect on it. If you're somebody that's trying to like, like think, oh well, I have a pretty good life, or hey, sean's right, but that's not me, I want you to really be honest with yourself. Like, go, look in the fucking mirror and say is this man or woman truly thriving. Is this the person of my dreams? Is this my full potential? If I get one life, because we don't know what's after this, is this the ultimate life that I'd be so happy to live? Or am I going to look back one day and realize that I had more to offer to the world, that I had bigger goals or skills or experiences that I wanted to develop in my life, but I just I didn't get around to it because I waited, I wasted time Like dude. That shit just irks me because people don't know what's at stake.
Speaker 1:And so you guys, I built my life by taking massive action, speed of thought and massive action. Okay, speed of action and massive action, I should say so, look at, you have to think bigger and you have to be willing to go for it now. And nine out of 10 times it always works out If you truly give your all in that one time that it doesn't. It's a learning lesson that allows you to pivot and grow despite those circumstances and a lot of you. You got to recognize that the way you're making decisions, you're ingraining that mentality into who you are Meaning.
Speaker 1:You know, if you continue to wait and procrastinate on your health goals, on changing your nutrition, on getting sober, on spending more time with your family, on reading more books, on whatever it is Like that's who you fucking are. Like you're a procrastinator. You're a shadow of the man or woman you could be. Like that's who you are. Stop doubting yourself, stop being delusional and thinking like well, you know, I'm just doing this temporarily. That's who you are. You got to get pissed off and you got to change that. That's how the world sees you. That's how your kids see you.
Speaker 1:If you're a fat dad right now and you're saying, oh, you're disgruntled because you're working a job you hate and you have the ability to go out and build a business or do something that you know you would love and you really want to do that, but you're scared like and you're having a penny pinch and you can't really give your family the life that you want to give them, you know they probably don't know you as dad who's capable to create a successful business and really take care of us. They just know you as dad who talks about being broke and dad who's stressed out about money. And that's who the fuck you are Like. You have to see it through the lens of other people sometimes for you to realize that's the person you've become. And if you're not okay with that person, you have to make a choice to change. And you have to make a commitment to yourself right here, right now, that I will do whatever it takes to change. I will no longer be the fat dad. I will no longer be the guy who says he's broke and can't do things with his family. You know, I will no longer be the guy who's half-assed in his life and just showing up as a lesser version of myself. I can't be that guy anymore, like I just can't. You have to get to the point where you're sick and tired of making these lame fucking excuses, because I know what it's like to be that person.
Speaker 1:That was me for 10 years of my life and I hated my life and I probably hated myself, even though I wouldn't articulate that. And I knew that I had more to give. I knew that I had a lot more inside of me that I had yet to develop or share with the world. And so I had to go on this mission, man of massive personal development, of taking massive action. I had to read more books, I had to learn more, I had to journal so I could understand myself. You know, I had to get clarity around my vision and who I wanted to be. I had to sculpt my physique. I developed discipline. I had to run farther. I had to lift more. I had to work out excessively Like I had to push my mind and my body to the limits. I had to develop skills so I could speak on stages and deliver this message. Like I went out and wrote a book, you know. I built relationships. I flew all over the country. I didn't sleep Like I ate the right foods. I just did everything and anything I could in my power to improve.
Speaker 1:Every fucking day, man and I showed up for my family and our lives got better and I faced my fears and I faced my fears and I didn't let doubt stop me and I just kept going and I kept going and I kept going and all of a sudden it becomes this thing where you're like damn, like, look at who I've become. This all started with the decision, in a moment where I just got sick and tired of being a fucking loser. Like I knew I had more to show people than this. I knew I had more to give the world than this. I knew I could grow and change. I felt it inside, but you know I wasn't doing it. I wasn't doing it and that's why I stayed stuck and I did it to myself.
Speaker 1:And you have to have that moment of awareness and clarity where you realize you're the biggest problem and you're your greatest asset in life. No one's coming to save your ass, no one's going to do it for you. The perfect moment and the right timing doesn't exist. The right time is now when you say, fuck this, I'm going all in, I'm going to show the world who I am. Go out there and get the best results. Become the best version of you. Watch how that impacts your children. Watch how that impacts your relationship with your wife. Watch how that transforms your life over time.
Speaker 1:I want that for you because I know that you're so much more capable than you're giving. I know that inside your mind is just doubt and fear that you can completely obliterate through positive action. And then, the more you do that, the more you believe in yourself. All of a sudden, that fear and doubt doesn't even exist. You've absolutely destroyed that fear and doubt through positive action over time and that's the person that goes out and makes a massive impact on the world. That's who we need right now. That's who we need as an example, as a leader for your kids, for your community, for your family. That's the mission I'm on. I want you guys by my side. So if this message was valuable for you, if you feel connected to what I'm saying, share it, put it into action, display this message through your daily actions and let's go out and change the fucking world together.
