If you want an exceptional life, you must get comfortable with being the exception.

People don't realize how rebellious you have to be to live your dreams in a world that has programmed you to stay stuck in survival mode.

Accept that many times in your life you will be seem as weird, cringe and misunderstood by most.

Stop trying to fit in. Stop trying to get accepted.

Own your uniqueness, see it as a gift, not a burden.

Soon enough you will realize that the things that make you different will save you.

One fail means nothing.

Don't underrate what it takes to lose.

I am talking about actually losing. The type of losing where it feels light there's no light at the end of the tunnel. That kind of losing is hard.

It takes years of consistently undermining your potential, missing opportunities and wasting time.

The amount of energy you need to put to ruin your life is considerable.

That's why you should stop being afraid of losing. It's okay to fuck up once in a while. It won't hurt.

Especially if that fail is a consequence of your pursuit of victory.

Most fails aren't fatal and are reversible.

And when you are dedicated to win, they are usually the pefect playground to learn valuable lessons to assist you in your path toward victory.

You are the lock and the key.

Unlock your potential, master your life.

Move fast when making mistakes.

Don't throw a pity party. Don't take it personal.

Every single setback is merely feedback delivered in a tough package.

Own the lesson fully so you can do the necessary pivot as soon as possible.

It's not that deep.

Just refuse to quit.

Practice mental hygiene.

Is it unrelated to the life you are building? Forget about it.

Don't indulge in useless information.

Boring.

That's where most people quit.

Sometimes it's not hard.

It's just extremely boring.

Wanna win?

Master boring.

Every hour wasted is a brick on the wall of regret.

Balance won't save you.

Most of us start in a hole.

You won't build a balanced life in a hole, my friend.

You need to climb out of there first.

This usually requires a disporportionate amount of effort.

I am all for finding balance eventually in life.

But let's be honest, there's hardly balance if you came from nothing.

You're going through hell.

Don't try to make hell feel better or whole.

Run as fast as humanly possible.

Don’t stop and look around.

Don’t slow down.

Get out.

Most people never start because they want a guarantee.

But there's no guarantees in life.

The only thing promised is death.

Accept this fact and take the risks.

Or wait forever for the guarantee that will never come.
