12 Life Lessons That Will Change Everyth...

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

Are you carrying weights that are holding you back?


Most people think success is about adding more—more habits, more strategies, more effort. But what if the real secret is dropping what no longer serves you? The truth is, your ability to rise is directly connected to what you’re willing to let go of. Whether it’s toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, or bad habits, the weights in your life are keeping you from elevating to the next level.


In this episode, I’m sharing 12 life lessons that have shaped my journey—truths that will help you break free and move forward. These aren’t just theories; they come from personal experience, the mistakes I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned. From understanding the power of forgiveness to realizing that waiting for the “perfect time” is a trap, these lessons will help you create real momentum in your life.


One of the biggest wake-up calls? You will lose 60-80% of your friends when you upgrade your life. Not everyone is meant to go with you on your journey. And that’s okay. Growth demands change, and part of that means letting go of relationships that no longer align with your future. As you evolve, your circle will get smaller, but it will also get stronger.

So ask yourself—who do you want to be? Because in life, we don’t just get what we want, we get who we are. And the best part? You’re just one decision away from changing your life.


Key Takeaways:
  • The fastest way to elevate your life is to drop the weights holding you down.
  • Stop blaming others—forgive, let go, and move forward.
  • Waiting for the “right time” is a lie—take action now.
  • Not everyone is meant to stay in your life—embrace the growth.
  • You’re always one decision away from a new direction.


Your past does not equal your future. Your life is in your hands. Now is the time to step into the next version of you. Max out.
