What breaks a man isn’t pain... it’s
pain without purpose.

Comfort might feel safe, but it kills the soul slowly.

Struggle shapes us.
Forgiveness strengthens us.

That’s where meaning lives.

Don't focus on the goal, don't even focus on the process that leads to the goal, focus on becoming the kind of person who enjoys the process that leads to the goal.

If you feel lost, write down:

1) Who you want to become
2) Who you don't want to become
3) The 3-5 things you can do today

You're lost because you don't have a direction to work toward, an enemy to work away from, and tasks that move the needle toward your goals.

You want to sleep at night like you know everything is gonna work out.

And you want to wake up like there’s no chance it’ll happen unless you take relentless, unyielding, like-your-life-depends-on-it action.

When you're frustrated at yourself.
The world becomes frustrated with you.

When you love yourself unapologetically.
The world & ppl love you back.

99% of the battle is in the mind.

If you can control your mind it can directly shape how the world looks at you.

Position yourself for success.

Society will always have something to say, but sometimes the loudest pressure comes from within.

We compare ourselves, set unrealistic deadlines, and try to fit into timelines that were never meant for us.

We convince ourselves we’re behind, even when we’re exactly where we need to be.

The truth is, there’s no universal schedule for success, love, or happiness.

Everyone’s path looks different—and that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Stop rushing.
Stop comparing.
Trust your process.
You’re not late.
You’re living.

Let go of the noise, silence the inner critic, and run your own race

If You Are A Man And You Are Suffering.

CONCEAL YOUR SUFFERING; DON'T TELL ANYONE.

If People See You Are Suffering,

They Will Respond With Disdain, Not Compasion.

People believing you're stupid is one of the biggest advantages you can have.

Keep this perspective when you lose something and you’ll have much more peace

How others perceive you is none of your business, as long as you uphold your integrity. Whatever they think of you has absolutely no relevance to who you are. Don’t live through the eyes of the others. What they think comes from their own shit. Their fears. Their ideas. It’s about them, not you. Don’t let their thoughts mess with your head when they don’t know you at all. They only know the version of you they constructed in their minds. You’re not here to make them happy. You’re not here to be what they want. When you start caring too much about what they think, you forget who you really are. Stick to what feels right to you. Do what comes from your heart, not from wanting them to like you. Their words, their looks and their thoughts about you don’t matter at all. Don’t let it get to you. You came here alone. You’ll leave alone. Everything in between is yours. Their opinions don’t belong in your life. You decide who you are. You make your choices. You know your worth. Don’t let them tell you how to be. You are and will always be the center of it all. Never forget this.

Never get into any situation where you have to tolerate somebody treating you with less respect than you deserve.

Youre depressed because you arent doing anything meaningful.

Youre lazy because youre arent working on any viscerally exciting projects.

Youre distracted because youre attempting to do too many things at once.

CHANGE YOUR CONDITIONS TO CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER.

A man is the sum of his actions
What you do is who you are

Every man is presented with two choices by God:

1. Train hard every day on your body, mind and soul. Suffer from discipline as a result.

2. Stay comfortable and safe. Suffer from the regret of never finding out what you could have become.

Overthinking is the sign that you need to cultivate more courage to act.

You need to put yourself in physical situations where you won't have a choice but stay focused and get things done.

There is no growth without skin in the game, and you can waste so much time being misled by a timid mind.

That's why moving abroad and being fully accountable for your fate is transformative.

That's why having kids who solely depend on you is transformative.

That's why overcoming life-threatening situations is transformative.

That's why taking big financial risks with your own money is transformative.

That's why struggling alone in a society that only rewards people who are already winning is transformative.

Old people who didn't grow much were not necessarily stupid, they were just the people who were afraid: of wasting time, of losing freedom, of getting hurt, of losing money, of falling behind.

Luck begins to favor you when you realize you NEED to put yourself in uncomfortable situations

Pick up the phone, send a risky msg, offer help to a stranger, start the biz you have always wanted, and don’t be afraid to ask for a raise

Luck favors the bold & those who take risks
