You donβt always need to be around people.
People will want to be with you when you are happy by yourself.

How to motivate yourself to do things you donβt want to do:
We all have some tasks, or projects that sit on our to-do lists day after day
But we never seem to βget aroundβ them because we just donβt want to go near them.
Letβs look at how to get around to them, and how to hack our way into getting them done.
1. Make it Pleasant
If youβre going to have to do something you really donβt want to do, make it pleasant.
Put on your favorite music, go sit on a park bench on a sunny day, or ply yourself with a reward afterward.
2. Break It Into Smaller Steps
Sometimes the tasks you need to accomplish seem so daunting and overwhelming that you donβt know where to begin.
When this happens, you end up doing nothing and accomplishing nothing.
Breaking it down into smaller tasks helps immensely.
3. Prioritize Steps
Once you have the small steps mapped out, rank them on what is most important.
What is the most immediate need and the least?
As obvious as it sounds, many people donβt prioritize like that.
4. Put the Steps on a Calendar
Put your tasks down on particular days so that when you get up that morning and look at what you have to do that day, you will see your tasks.
When this happens, you will be more likely to accomplish them because itβs on your daily to-do list.
5. Do It First
The simplest, easiest way to do things you donβt want to do is to do them first β as in, the first thing in your day.
Take the hardest, most unpleasant task you have and get it done and out of the way.
6. Solar Flaring
Start off with something very small and an easy thing to do, and use that forward momentum to get more work done.
Some examples:
- Just change into your gym clothes
- Just write the introductory paragraph
- Just put the cups and dishes in the sink
7. Pomodoros
Work for 25 minutes then take a 5-minute break.
25 minutes is really nothing if you think about it.
Anyone can do almost anything for just 25 minutes, it takes most people longer than 25 minutes to eat dinner.
8. Face Your Fear
Doing things you donβt want to do isnβt always based on fear, but many of them are, ex: public speaking.
Facing your fears head-on will make you a better person and can lead to personal growth.
Remember, the more you do something, the easier it gets.
9. Surround Yourself With The Right People
We thrive when our social interactions are positive and encouraging experiences.
On the other hand, surrounding ourselves with folks who are undisciplined or unmotivated can have the opposite effect.
10. Think of the Long-Term Effects
When you want to learn how to do something you donβt want to do, think about how your actions (or inaction) today will be affecting your tomorrow or 10-20 years from now.
11. Visualize the End Result
Itβs easy to become discouraged when you are not seeing the results of your efforts
But stick with it, remember how great it will feel once you accomplish your goal.
Bring to mind what your end goal will really look and feel like.

Your limits are your beliefs.
If you believe, 50k/year is enough, that's what you get.
If you believe, toxic relationships are okay, that's what you get.
If you believe, you need to work hard to become wealthy, well...
Listen.
Do an experiment. Try living as a totally different person for a week.
Drop your old beliefs. Completely reverse them.
Believe you deserve all the riches and love. And they're easy to achieve.
Embrace the way of effortless action.
Now that doesn't mean lying on the couch watching Netflix all day.
It means, set up the intention and letting your intuition guide you to the right action.
Just give it a try. One week. That's it.
You'll know a lot.

Never tell your plans to anyone
Never share what you are upto.
Only those who you can trust with closed eyes must know everything you are upto.
It means none.
Whatever you are going to do must remain a secret until you have completed it.
Your trust is compromised way more often then you think it is.

Self-autonomy begins with self-confidence, which is an offshoot of self-conviction.
A confident person governs himself because his moral compass is internalized, and his self-esteem is completely self-determined.
Self-confidence immunizes you against the poisonous opinions of people.
Your confidence is a reflection of how you feel. If you think yourself confident, but feel insecure, theyβll just cancel out.
Quite unfortunate that society taught us to tie our confidence to how much we have or have achieved.
It is your moral duty to detach your self-worth from your possessions, external validation & societal approval.
External must-haves should only serve as a boost, the real battle is fought within - against the insecurities of your own mind.
The liberating truth is - if thereβs no internal critic, the external judgement becomes harmless. Itβs not what people think of you that bothers you, but the part of you that subconsciously thinks itβs true.
Confidence, like happiness, can be improved like a skill.
1) Dress better; Itβs not about following trends. Itβs about expressing yourself through your dress sense. Wear what makes you βfeelβ good.
2) Groom better; Take care of your body - Get in shape. Get a clean cut. Smell nice. As your outlook improves, your inlook will too.
3) Keep the promises you make to yourself;
Better not to make a commitment, than to not keep it. This is about integrity!
If you say youβll do something, do it (donβt procrastinate). If you say youβll stop doing something, stop it (donβt relapse).
4) Understand that no one is above or below you; We may all lead different lives with different power scalings, but at the core weβre all the same - clueless piles of dust on a blue dot revolving in empty space.
5) Watch how you speak about yourself, to yourself and others; Your subconscious mind is an ardent eavesdropper, sheβs always listening to everything you say (mentally or verbally). Fuck your self-depreciating jokes man - the humor is tasteless & pointless...

You cannot be motivated if you do not have a source for that. Period.
______
Ask yourself this: what do you want?
What is that goal that you are holding in your heart which is so damn important to you that you will NEVER give up?!

You're not overwhelmed, you're being lazy and unorganized.
β’ Wake up earlier
β’ Create a routine
β’ Get an agenda book
β’ Set boundaries (say no)
β’ Stick to your schedule
β’ Write down and adhere to your deadlines.
It's You vs You.

If you fail in life.
Don't cry about it.
Focus on WHAT NEXT.
Failures are an inevitable part of life.
You win someday and you lose someday.
Important is to have a warrior mindset.
If you are man you are not allowed to cry.
If times get real hard.
Go and talk to your brothers.
You are not allowed to cry in front of people who depend on you.
Be their strength, Be a man.

The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our lives.
Thatβs how important it is to encourage a disciplined mindset towards monitoring our thoughts and making sure weβre planting roses in our gardens of life, rather than toxins.
