Scientifically, doing hard things - and accomplishing them - is linked to happiness....

Maybe it's why so many people who avoid hard things are miserable.

To touch greatness, you must reject mediocrity at every turn.

Average effort brings average results.

You want the top?

Then you have to act like it, every single day.

Push harder, be relentless.

That’s how you separate yourself from the pack.

You MUST develop a sense of urgency if you want to be successful.

You do not have unlimited time to do the things you want to do.

This attitude will fuck you over with every passing year you cling to it.

Live with urgency,

But execute with precision

To all my 18-24 year olds. This is the phase where many of your peers think there's plenty of time to make important life decisions, but time waits for no one. Start setting your goals, developing your skills, and building your network now. The earlier you start, the further ahead you'll be.

If you work hard when no one is watching.

If you treat people fairly when no one is watching.

If you’re constantly finding way to improve.

If you’ve gotten beat up multiple times but you stand up & get back in the ring.

If you have faith in God.

YOUR TIME WILL COME.

Confidence is being the same man in every room.

If he’s switching up to impress, he’s weak.

If many like you, you become a celebrity.

If many trust you, you become an authority.

You cannot wish for both a strong character and an easy life.

The price of each is the other

5 things destroy young men's lives:

• Porn

• Gambling

• Eating too much

• Uncontrolled lust and anger

• Unlimited access to dopamine (entertainment)

If you can avoid these 5 things, your chances of success go up 100x.

You can’t become who you want to be by staying the same.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Winners always find a way.
Losers always find excuses.

Everyday your actions determine which one you'll become.

If you let anger consume you

If you let sadness break you

If you let lust distract you

You are not in control of your life.

And a man without control over his life is already dead.

Respect yourself enough to walk away from people who don't support, value or improve you in any way.

Every rich person has lost money

Every smart person has felt dumb

Every creative person has struggled mentally

Every good person has felt guilty about who they were

It’s inevitable to sometimes feel inadequate, you just need the courage to pursue your vision and get better

Most men spend their lives chasing pleasure.

But real men?

They chase power.

Not power over others.

Power over themselves.

Progress is increment while results are exponential.

You might see nothing happened for 99 days and everything happens on the hundredth day.

You have to keep grinding the whole time.

Keep track of your progress to not let it go to waste.

Rewards will always come to someone who commits to the practice, but the rewards are not the goal.

The practice is the goal.

Your attention is the currency of existence.

Not gold, not time—attention.

The world bids for it, a silent auction of chaos.

Where you spend it, reality bends.

A screen? A dream? A truth? Guard the flame. It’s all you own.

Scatter it, and you vanish.

Focus it, and you become.

Smart people don’t have time to get offended, they’re busy building the life they want.

In a society where everyone is frantically running, it takes courage to slow down and question whether the road most traveled is where you actually want to go.

Most successful people are hard to access not because they don’t have free time, but because they protect their free time.

And choosing to create space before they were successful is made them successful to begin with. Not the other way around.
