No one is coming to push you. No one is coming to tell you to turn the TV off. No one is coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise. The bottom line is no one is coming. No one.

You may or may not have seen the TED talk that I gave a few years ago, one of the things that surprised me the most about that talk is that we hear from people around the world that write about one segment in particular and let me play that segment for you because it sets up the conversation for today. And it’s this concept of parenting yourself.
[Mel Robbins TED Talk Video Clip:]
When you become 18, nobody tells you that it’s now going to be your job to parent yourself. And by parent yourself, I mean, it’s your job to make yourself do the crap you don’t want to do so you can be everything that you’re supposed to be. And you’re so damn busy waiting to feel like it and you’re never going to. My son never feels like getting off his DS. That’s my job. Get off the damn DS. Kendall, clean up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude party in my bathroom, at least, clean it up. God, chew with your mouth closed. We’re not on a barn for crying out loud. All right, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry.
As parents, and you were a kid, your parents make you do the things you don’t feel like doing. Because you won’t. Ever. Not now, not then, not ever! And even when you get good at something, you’ll figure out something else you don’t want to do. And then you’ll plateau out, and you’ll get bored, I hate this job, boring. But will you look for a new one? No. You’ll just bitch about that one. It’s very, very simple to get what you want, but it’s not easy.

Wow, that talk was six years ago. I cannot believe how little my kids were back then and I also hate watching it because that was the first time I’d ever given a speech. So my voice is like really screechy and I swear which I typically don’t do on stage ever, so woof.
Anyway this concept of parenting yourself is really, really important for you to wrap your brain around. And let me dig into it just a little bit. I write extensively in part two of The 5 Second Rule about how we make decisions. And the fact that we make decisions not based on what we know we need to do, not based on our goals, but based on how we feel right now.
It’s your feelings that make the decision for you. It’s one of the reasons why parents are so important for kids because if we let it up to kids to do whatever they felt like doing they’d never go to school, they’d never do their homework, they’d never use their manners, they’ve never learned to eat correctly, they’d never do anything. They just sit around, watch TV all day. That’s the job of a parent.
What most of us don’t realize though and this is what I was alluding to in the TED talk is that when you become 18, when you move out of the house, when you’re an adult, you have to parent yourself. Here’s the rub.
You’re never ever, ever, ever going to feel like doing the things you need to do in order to have what you want. You’re always going to need to push yourself. You’re always going to need to parent yourself.
So what is the net advice on this?
What – what is the bottom line?
The bottom line is no one is coming. No one. No one is coming to push you. No one is coming to tell you to turn the TV off. No one is coming to tell you to get out the door and exercise. Nobody is coming to tell you to apply for that job that you’ve always dreamt about. Nobody is coming to write the business plan for you. It’s up to you. And because you’re only ever gonna do the things that you feel like doing right now or that feel good right now. Unless you understand that you’ve got to parent yourself, you got to push yourself, you’re not gonna make your dreams come true, you’re just not. We’re not wired that way. You’re born that way. You weren’t that way when you’re going up and you’re certainly not that way as an adult. And there is a tremendous amount of liberation that comes when you accept the fact that you’re always going to need to give yourself a push.
