Stay obsessed with improvement, not applause.

Kids brains are wired to believe anything, make sure they believe in themselves

You need to actively be making yourself uncomfortable.

Life is astonishingly boring. Even worse, its comfortable. All of your needs are met enough to keep you sedated but not enough to fulfill you.

It is neither a hard life nor a good life, it’s barely a life at all. Just consumption and spiritual tranquilization.

Do everything in your power to reject this.

Your life transforms when you take full ownership of your problems. It's no one's fault but yours. Not your parents. Not your boss. Not people you disagree with. You got yourself into this position. And you can get yourself out. We decide if the world happens to us or for us.

I'm in love with this quote :

"If you can overthink the worst, why can't you overthink the best."

You don’t need more time. You need more effort.

You have everything you need to be successful.

The problem is you doubt yourself, and that’s one of the most harmful things you can do.

Doubt causes paranoia. Isolation. Mental breakdowns.

It makes you pull away from everything and everyone while convincing you that’s the safe choice.

But here’s the thing doubt never leaves you.

You think it’ll fade once you figure things out. It doesn’t.

Instead of fading, it grows stronger.

It builds until confession becomes the only escape.

Until facing yourself is the only option left.

Doubt becomes its own punishment.

It forces you to confront the truth about yourself.

Everything you’ve been avoiding.

Everything you’ve been too scared to admit.

But that confrontation is also the way out.

On the other side of facing yourself is your full potential.

You just have to stop doubting long enough to get there.

The world will reward you in proportion to your courage, not your intellect.

Kids are always watching your habits.

Not your words.
Not your intentions.
Your patterns.

They watch how you wake up.
How you deal with pressure.
How you speak when you’re tired, frustrated, or losing.

They learn what “normal” looks like by studying you.

Every skipped workout teaches them excuses are acceptable.

Every night you numb yourself instead of facing life teaches them avoidance.

Every time you choose comfort over responsibility, you show them who’s in control and it’s not you.

You don’t raise children with advice.
You raise them with behavior.

You are building their future self every day either through discipline…
or through neglect.

And one day, they’ll live out what you modeled.
Not what you hoped for them.
Not what you preached.

They’ll either thank you for setting a standard or resent you for making them unlearn one.

So live like your legacy depends on it.
Because it does.

They are watching.

A question for you:

There's a difference between feeling tired and feeling empty. One probably needs sleep. The other may need purpose.

Are you low on rest or low on meaning?

The worst people you’ll ever have to deal with are those who envy you. Those who smile at your face and plot to stab you behind your back. But these are cowards by nature. If you spot one, limit their area of influence and corner them. That’s how you deal with these vermin.

One of the greatest cheat codes in life is assuming everything is happening in your favor. Lost the deal? You learned a lesson. Someone broke up with you? You dodged a bullet. When you start seeing life as happening FOR you instead of TO you your life will change.

Whatever you do, do it for yourself. Don’t expect congratulations. Don’t expect apologies. Don’t expect gratitude. Stop listening to people, you’ll never see the end of it. They’ll always talk shit anyway. No matter how you look at it, you are in the best position to decide of your self-importance. You know who you are better than anyone else. When I was nothing, when I was taking repetitive Ls, making the worst choices, and wasting some of the supposedly best years of my life away, nobody saw that. When I had only God and myself to count on, I don’t remember anyone witnessing the internal pain I went through. When I pulled myself out of that shit hole, I don’t remember anyone pulling me up. When life humbled me, nobody saw that. Who the fuck are you to tell others who they are? Most people have no idea of who you are, they haven’t been there and all they can do is guess. People don’t want you to experience what they don’t understand. It makes them feel like they failed. Nobody’s going to help you get what you want. And when you do get it, they’ll say you don’t deserve it. And if you take credit for it, they’ll say you lack humility. Ignore that shit. Ignore all of it. Focus on yourself and what you know yourself to be capable of.

Stay small enough, long enough.

You’ll be big enough, soon enough.

Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed. You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.
