We all have goals and dreams… yet studies suggest that only a small percentage of people ever truly achieve them.
When I first read that (around 5%), I couldn’t believe it.

How is it possible that so many people give up, quit, or never even try?

On one level, the science behind this actually makes a lot of sense.
But today I want to give you another level of awareness—one that I hope supports you in creating a momentous shift.

Why Change Feels So Hard (The Science)

Your brain is a record keeper of the past.
It loves predictability. It thinks in terms of what it has already experienced and decided is true.

The moment you decide to do something new, your brain doesn’t automatically celebrate.
It starts predicting possible outcomes based on old data and tries to protect you by steering you back to what it knows.

Familiar = Safe.
Unknown = Threat.

So even if you’re in a job that feels soul-crushing and you yearn for more freedom, your brain already knows what you’re going to experience there. It can predict the stress, the conversations, the paycheck, the routine.

Because it can predict it, it feels “safer” to stay…
Even if staying is slowly draining the life out of you.

The pain of the known often feels safer than the possibility of the unknown.
So unconsciously, you stall. You delay. You quit on the dream.
Or you never bother to truly start.

And you stay the same.

Why You’re Really Here

Now let’s go deeper.
This is the real reason I’m writing to you today.

You are a spiritual being.
You didn’t come here because you’re unworthy, broken, or meant to suffer.
You came here to learn.

Before you arrived, you chose certain lessons—trust, worthiness, love, courage, abundance, surrender—not as punishment, but as pathways to remembering who you truly are:

Powerful.
Limitless.
Divine.

So life gives you “curriculum”: situations that feel hard, stuck, or unfair, not to break you—but to wake you.

That difficult situation you’re facing right now?
It’s not just a problem.
It’s a lesson. A portal.

An opportunity to challenge how you’ve always shown up…
So you can choose a new path, a new identity, a new way of being.

One of My Biggest Lessons: Trust

One of my deepest life lessons has been trust.

• Trusting people.
• Trusting myself.
• Trusting flow and abundance.
• Trusting God.

For example:

My wife and I desperately wanted to renovate our home.
We had the savings. We had the desire. We talked about it constantly.

But I kept delaying the commitment. I was waiting for “more”:
More money. More certainty. More proof that it would all work out.

That extra money never came.
What did come, over and over, was the same invitation: Trust.

One day, my wife challenged me to take a leap of faith—
To move before the guarantees showed up.

So I did.

I signed the contract with the builder.
I paid the 30% deposit.
There were no extra safety nets. Just trust.

And then something wild happened:
That same day, an unexpected opportunity came in…
For the exact amount of the remodel.

Not before I acted.
After.

That experience anchored something deep in me:

The lesson and the reward often sit on opposite sides of the same doorway.
You go first. Then life responds.

We want it the other way around.
We want certainty before commitment. Guarantees before action.
But that’s not how trust, faith, or expansion works.

You lean in.
You move through the fear.
Then the support, the “miracle,” the validation shows up.

Your Turn

So let’s bring this back to you.

• What is the situation you’re going through right now that feels hard, scary, or stuck?
• Where have you been waiting for guarantees before taking the next step?
• How have you been repeating the same response, even though it no longer serves who you’re becoming?

Today, instead of asking for more signs…
Ask yourself:

How can I lean in—just one step more—into trust?

Maybe it’s:

• Sending the email.
• Booking the call.
• Applying for the opportunity.
• Having the honest conversation.
• Saying yes to the thing your soul has been asking for (even while your brain argues against it).

On the other side of that step is not only the reward of what you want…
But the validation of who you are:

Divine.
Unlimited.
Fully supported.

You were never meant to stay small just because your past feels familiar.
You were meant to remember your power by walking through the very doors that scare you.

With love,
Rudi
