This document discusses getting off of your "BUT" and living at the cause rather than the effect. It argues that making excuses ("BUT I don't have..."), giving in to fears, and feeling insecure keep people living reactively at the effect rather than proactively creating their reality from the cause. To get off the "BUT," the document recommends letting go of comfort, safety needs, and rejection fears in order to eliminate insecurities. Taking purposeful action through goal-setting rituals can help achieve better outcomes than relying solely on discipline.

6. Cause > Effect
Why would anyone live at effect?
Gratification comes from living
at Effect
Effect gives a payoff. Anytime you’re doing
something to feel good, you have two ways to
go about it.
Fulfillment comes from Living at
– 1. Feeling good instantly through gratification,
Cause over time, slowly, through fulfillment.
– 2. Or

7. The size of our BUT!
1. Excuses
2. Fears
3. Insecurities
You believe that there is nothing you can do and that’s
just the way life is.

8. What’s Your Excuse?
You make BUT excuses so you don’t have to do
the hard work. We all do this at times, the
question is…
How often do you do this and what’s it costing
you?

9. How do you know when you’re
making them?
Any time you use the phrase or think the
thought “BUT I don’t have the…”
• BUT I don’t have the time…
• BUT I don’t have the energy…
• BUT I don’t have the resources…

10. What are they doing to you?
• They sound rational but we tell ourselves
rational lies so that we can get out of the
heavy lifting.
• Meanwhile, we grow weaker and weaker and
our life begins to atrophy until eventually the
best opportunities, the things we always want

11. “What would your life
look like if you diverted
your energy from
worry to action?”

12. Be Very, Very Afraid
• Those things that paralyze us and weigh us down
with negativity.
• We make our BUT fears so we don’t have to look
bad, so we don’t have to risk rejection, failure,
and upset, so we can stay safe at effect.
• How often do you find yourself saying “BUT what
if…?” Try and count the number of instances
where you fantasized “What if’s” that never came
true.

13. FEAR is...
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

14. “Fear is a parasite,
do not be its host.”

15. Avoiding the Insecurity Trap
What is a BUT insecurity? Anytime you say “BUT
I’m not…”
• BUT I’m not smart enough.
• BUT I’m not tall enough.
• BUT I’m not rich enough.
Insecurities are like viruses — they get inside of
you and they eat you up from the inside out.

16. “There’s no magic pill that makes
our insecurities go away. We must
choose: Cower to them OR Face
them & prevail. Choose!”

17. In order to get off our BUT, we need
to:
Let go of the addiction to comfort (our excuses),
safety (fear), and let go of our fear of rejection
which would help us eliminate our insecurities.
If you want a better life, you don’t need to be
more disciplined, you need better rituals.
