The Hercules Principle

Once upon a time, a farmer’s wagon was stuck in the mud after a heavy rain.

Frustrated, he called on Hercules for help.

Hercules appeared and said,

Put your shoulder to the wheel and urge your horses on! Do you think it will move by itself?

The farmer followed his advice, pushed hard, and freed the wagon.

We’ve all been that farmer — stuck, frustrated, waiting for someone or something to pull us out.

Maybe you’re waiting for a partner to bring you happiness.

Or a big break in your career that changes everything.

Or maybe you’re just hoping life will somehow get easier.

But here’s the truth — Hercules ain’t comin’ for you!

It might sound dark, but it’s freedom.

Because if it’s all on you… then it’s all in your control.

YOU are the rescue. YOU are the solution.

Start with one small push today, one action that gets you unstuck.

Stop waiting for Hercules — and push the damn wagon!
