The Cage of Potential

We train. We dream. We talk about our goals. But deep down, many of us aren’t changing—we’re just running harder on the same treadmill.

In this video, I explore the hidden psychology behind why so many runners (myself included) stay stuck in potential. Inspired by Alfred Adler’s theory of guiding fictions, we’ll look at how we use the idea of change as a shield to avoid the discomfort of actual transformation.

This isn’t just about running—it’s about the stories we believe, the fears we avoid, and the courage it takes to finally step off the treadmill and move forward.
