Erik Weihenmayer was only a teenager when he lost his sight completely.

A diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis took away his vision—but not his will.

While many would have accepted a life shaped by limitations, Erik chose a different path.

He chose to climb—literally.

In 2001, he became the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, standing on top of the world without ever seeing it.

It wasn’t about proving others wrong—it was about proving to himself, and to the world, that blindness couldn’t define his destiny.

He went on to scale the tallest peaks on every continent and later, in 2014, kayaked 277 miles down the raging Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—a feat even the fully sighted fear.

Erik’s story is more than one of adventure—it’s a lesson in vision, grit, and inner strength.

He reminds us that the biggest obstacles aren’t outside us—they’re the doubts we carry within.

True blindness is not in the eyes, but in failing to recognize our own power.

Through his courage, we see that every challenge can become a path, every setback a summit.

And that greatness comes not from seeing the way—but from daring to take the next step into the unknown.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Don't act rich to impress people, act broke to test people.

Being stupid is YOUR FAULT.

Being broke is YOUR FAULT.

Being fat is YOUR FAULT.

Taking care of yourself is your responsibility.

No one fixes this for you.

Not the government, not your parents, not your friends, no one.

You're to blame and only you can fix yourself

Don’t feel bad for being picky about who you allow into your life.

"You're doing it wrong."
Said by someone doing nothing at all.

Learn to filter advice based on results, not volume.

The fight isn’t always against someone else.

It’s against the voice trying to pull you off the path.

A woman may support you, but, as a man, the only person looking after you is yourself.

A man is thus, in a sense, always alone, because other than himself, and his God if he has one, there's none he can rely on to make things right for himself.

He rises & falls by his own hand.

When you try too hard to belong to groups who don't respect your difference, you risk sacrificing your sense of self to appease the group.

Tomorrow Is The Lie That Keeps Men Stagnant

Opportunities don’t wait.

Success doesn’t wait.

Your goals won’t chase you.

You have to attack them.

Every day you delay is a day wasted.

No excuses.
No waiting.

No “tomorrow.”

Get up.
Get moving.

Take what’s yours.
Today.

You’re not stuck.

You’re just repeating a pattern that no longer serves you.

Break the mindset → build better habits → get new results.

It really is that simple (and that hard).

Life doesn’t wait.

Every second you hesitate is a moment you’ll never get back.

Chase the thrill, take the risk, and make every heartbeat count, because one day, all you’ll have are the stories you dared to live.

It’s you vs you.
Not them. Not the world.
Just the battle between who you are and who you could be.
Win that fight—every day.

If you have a dream

Never let anybody take that away from you

Times may get tough

But keep pushing

And keep working hard

Never stop

Until you achieve that dream

And succeed.

You think these moments are your lowest. They’re not.

They’re your realest.

The ones you’ll look back on and realize, that’s where the shift happened.

Not when things were easy.

Not when times were good.

But when it was dark.

When no one checked in.

When it was just you and the weight of the world.

Those are the days that sharpen you.
Strengthen you. Strip the ego. Cut away anything soft. Burn off anything fake.

The quiet suffering. The isolation. The internal war.

That’s where you become the man you’re meant to be.

Most will never understand that.

And that’s the point.

Missing out on parties, trends, and temporary fun doesn’t mean you’re missing life.

It means you’re building one that lasts.

Stability > Validation.
Legacy > Distraction.
Peace > Popularity.

Lock in now, so you never have to escape later.

If you’re thinking the same thoughts…

....you’re making the same choices.

Same choices = same behaviours.

Same behaviours = same experiences.

Same experiences = same emotions.

And those emotions?

They shape how you think, act, and feel ...

AKA your personality.

And your personality is what creates your personal reality.

Let that land. ✨

If nothing changes in how you think, how can anything change in how you live?

Most people try to create a new life while being the same person.

It doesn’t work.

You have to become someone else..

someone aligned with the future you desire.

That means..

Becoming aware of the thoughts you keep repeating

Interrupting the patterns that keep you looping.

Releasing the emotions that keep you anchored in the past

Choosing thoughts, behaviours, and feelings aligned with your vision

New reality = new identity.

That’s the key. 🔑

Growth doesn’t come with comfort.

It comes with pressure, setbacks, and moments that push you to your edge.

But that pressure is shaping you.

It’s revealing who you are and preparing you for what’s next.

So don’t take the test as a sign to quit. Take it as proof you’re close.

This is where most people fold.

This is where you don’t.

Stay grounded.

Stay focused.

Because if you can hold the line when it’s hardest, you’ll come out stronger, sharper, and ready for the next level.

Your elevation depends on your endurance.

The real transformation begins when you look in the mirror and feel sick.

Not because of what others say, but because you finally see what you’ve tolerated.

The laziness. The softness. The excuses. The sloppiness.

And you’re not angry at the world.

You’re angry at yourself… for letting it slide.

That version of you who’s disgusted by it all is the one who comes to save you.

Not your friends. Not your parents. Not some podcast.

Just him.

Change born from shame is the most permanent kind.

Because it didn’t come from someone else’s disapproval.

It came from yours.

And when your own standards start to burn, that’s when the rise begins.

Let that fire level you up.

Keep going.
