The #1 sign of a loser is that they blame everything on the government and expect everything to be free.

You're not overwhelmed, you're being lazy and unorganized.

• Wake up earlier
• Create a routine
• Get an agenda book
• Set boundaries (say no)
• Stick to your schedule
• Write down and adhere to your deadlines.

It's You vs You.

You are not your thoughts. You become your thoughts when you act upon them, you become your feelings when you allow them to take hold.

I spent many years searching for motivation, until I realized that I can’t live my life based on how I feel.

Motivation is a feeling, and like all feelings, motivation comes and goes.

STOP searching for motivation and work on building HABITS around your life.

Habits are not based on feelings, they are loyal and 100% reliable.

If you prioritize money over women...

You will end up with more of both of them.

An easy way to get more respect is to not participate in conversations that involve complaining or bitching about someone else who's not in the room. Be above it. People subconsciously pick up on it.

Your social media feeds should:

• Inspire
• Educate
• Challenge

If It doesn't, change it.

If you are going through a difficult time, avoid the trap of telling everyone about it.

First of all, because no one cares, and if they do, they will start to see you as someone to walk away from rather than to help.

Focus on what you can do to make things right.
