Did anyone ever really just locked in life and saw progress?

I be watching videos and reading posts trying to figure out everything. Deep down I know the only way to see progress is by working hard and getting out of that comfort zone. Yet I'm still not doing anything and just waiting in life to happen.

But as time goes by, I'm thinking enough with the excuses and pity sobttaging like ain't nobody gonna feel bad for me or will land a helping hand. Only I have to be the one doing it. So I'm thinking maybe I should just lock in life and get started small.
