Show me a man who chases pleasure obsessively and I’ll show you a man who lacks purpose.

Unrestrained hedonism will desensitize you, dull your intelligence, and enslave you to your hormones.

If you seek self-mastery, you MUST develop discipline around your diet, speech, sexuality, choices, thoughts & intentions.

Your lower-self is instinctive & impulsive. It majorly seeks to fulfil its animalistic urges like safety, eating and copulating.
That is, it is concerned with maximizing pleasure & minimizing pain.

Your higher self is inspired by meaning & purpose. It has visions, goals and long term plans. It seeks to pursue excellence, self-improvement & creativity.

While the lower self priorities instant gratification, the higher self priorities goal actualization.

While the lower self tempts you back to your vices, the higher self challenges you to adopt positive habits.

The lower self is animalistic, while the higher self is divine, and man is always pulled between these two forces.

Your daily choices will either strengthen your lower self or your higher self. The quality of your life is determined by the ratio in which they influence your actions. At least 80% of your life must be willed to the higher self. This is the bare minimum if you must self-actualize.

And even when you indulg in any pleasures of life - avoid extremities and master moderation. This is the peak of wisdom...

Stay Inspired 🥷

Avoid people that refuse to accept responsibility.

The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself.

Sometimes you have to get out of that environment to see that dream fulfilled.

Avoid people who lose control if you don’t agree with them.

"You are the average of The Five People You Spend Most of Your Time With."

What does this mean?

It means:

The people you spend the most time with shape who you are.

They determine what conversations dominate your attention.

Eventually, you start to think as they think and behave as they behave.

Surround yourself with winners who care about the future, making money, building generational wealth, and creating financial freedom.

When you see suffering as a necessity and you learn to use it to your advantage, that same suffering becomes fuel for your goals and dreams.

Formula for Luck:

Preparation (personal growth) + attitude (belief + mindset) +opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + action (doing something about it) = Luck.

The reason you are sad inside is because you know you are wasting your potential.

I assure you when you are pushing hard to achieve as much as you individually can, you feel happy inside.

Even if you don't have the results yet.

Some emotions are complicated, yet to me, sadness and happiness are VERY fucking simple.

You're not stupid. Your subconscious knows what’s going on.

If you're sad. It’s for a reason.

Deep down, you know you could be more. You could be the heavyweight champion of the world, but you never even stepped into the boxing gym. Why?

You could be a millionaire. But you haven't even tried to launch your online company. Why?

If I don't perform at the absolute maximum of my potential, I feel sad. But when I PUSH with everything I have, I'm happy, even if I fail.

That's why you're sad. Because you're not living life to your MAXIMUM potential.

I consider sadness laziness. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s impossible to be sad when you smash the goals that you set.

When you outperform your wildest dreams. When you do what everyone else told you was too hard to do.

SADNESS IS A POSITION YOU HAVE ACCEPTED, PURELY BECAUSE YOU ARE LAZY.

Happiness MUST be earnt.

If you're sad, you deserve it.

If you want to be happy. Good. It’s time to work.

You are not born a low-value man, you become one by negligence, laziness, and choice.

I get endless questions about dating & women.

My brother, understand this:

You will never attract a high-value woman if you're not high-value yourself.

Before thinking: "How do I get her?"

Ask yourself, am I worthy of a loyal, loving & caring woman in my life?

High value men attract high value women.

Instead of chasing women, work on your self and become the best you can.

She will find you.

The people we surround ourselves with have the biggest influence on our behavior, attitudes, and results.
________

In layman's terms, who you are around sets the course of your life.

The more you accomplish, the harder it is to find others who understand where you’re coming from and where you’re going.

Be everything your haters can't become.

You're never going to convince someone to respect you.

You force them through your OWN actions.

Stop complaining, No one likes a complainer.

It only gets you stuck in your head instead of charging forward towards your goals and doing something cool.

To be a great leader means that you not only have to put in 100% effort to better yourself,

It also means that you need to put that effort into improving those around you as well.

Rather than concentrating on perfection or results, start focusing on consistency.

Resilience and consistency can create wonders in your life.

Success isn't about how much motivation you feel,

It's about how motivated you are to not give up and work hard.

Materialism is mainly driven by low self-esteem.

Want to buy happiness?

Then spend your hard-earned cash on experiences.

To increase the likelihood of someone liking you, get them to do you a favour.
