Having a "Fuck those people" list is a necessary element of inner peace.
There are going to be people that will never like you no matter what...
You can do everything right, treat people like gold & because you shine a certain way they don't like it…
Fuck those people.
Move on and create the best version of you.
Them watching you win is the greatest "Fuck you" you could ever deliver.
#100to0
They don't respect you?
They don't notice you?
They don't take you serious?
Good.
It's one of the biggest advantages and sources of fuel you could have.
Let people underestimate you.
Let them not believe.
Let them laugh and talk shit.
Most importantly...
Let them sleep.
You don't want them to wake up.
You want to get moving down the tracks so fast that by the time they notice you...
It's too late.
...and you run them all the fuck over.
99.99% of the relevant work that means anything in your life, will be done under two conditions:
1. When absolutely nobody is watching.
2. When it's inconvenient.
Highly recommend that you start ambushing the first pitch in your at bats. High probability that this pitch is going to be in the zone because the pitcher wants to get ahead in the count. If I were you I’d be ambushing this pitch as much as possible during games. #baseball
Your prime is not in your 20s. Your prime is the moment you realize nobody is coming to save you, and as a man, you're on your own.
Alwayyyyyyys, on your own.
Warriors do not wait for life to be easy to be grateful.
They train themselves to see the value in the struggle.
Anyone can be thankful when they're winning.
Disciplined people are thankful when they're in the middle of the storm.
When the pressure builds...
They give thanks.
Not because they feel good...
Because they're still standing.
They are passing the test and they know it.
Gratitude in pain is not a feeling.
It's a choice.
It's a strategy.
A position.
A weapon.
It's the refusal to become a victim and the appreciation for the opportunity not to be.
The rejection of self-pity.
The conscious awareness that every hardship ultimately forges you into who you were meant to become.
The world bends to those who remain thankful in the darkness.
Be grateful when it's hard.
That's when it counts most.
Andy Frisella proposes tax return-based voting system.
"If you pay into the system, you can vote on what the system is. If you don't, you shouldn't be able to vote."
NOT AN ACCIDENT, but if you're seeing this on JANUARY 11th, the winning era begins for you. Relationships. Health. Wealth. Everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing gets better from here. You're so lucky.
If you knew how great your life could actually be…
You wouldn't hesitate for a second to go as hard as fucking possible every single day.
You wouldn't snooze.
You wouldn't need "motivation".
You wouldn't pretend you're doing all you can.
You would actually do all you can.
Now.
The problem is you still believe that winning is the result of luck, circumstance or magic.
You are still waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder and pick you.
Like a child.
You don't understand the very simple reality of winning.
It’s inputs and outputs.
It's math.
It's being willing to go, fall on your face, learn the lesson and go again.
Relentlessly, for as long as it takes.
...And you keep thinking 2+2=4 for everyone else but you, is costing you everything.
You refuse to accept the reality of the game because it allows you to feel better about your own mediocrity even if that state of mediocrity makes you miserable.
You have wallowed in it most of your life and change starts by understanding one thing:
Nobody is going to pick you.
You have to pick yourself.
Listen, nobody gives a shit.
They just don't.
They might pretend they do.
They don't.
You are not the special circumstance…
Everyone's tired.
Everyone's under pressure.
Everyone has a story.
It's hard for everyone.
The world needs more winners...
...And a lot less people who talk about why they aren't.
Victim culture is over.
Whining is out.
Winning is in.
You know how many people go on and on about what they are going to do… fucking everyone.
When you look around and wonder why culture looks the way it does…
That's why.
The world cares if you deliver.
Not if you almost delivered.
Not if you try hard.
Anyone who tells you different, is either ignorant or lying to your face.
So stop expecting a winner's bounty for a game you haven't won.
Winners win.
Losers kick rocks.
That's it.
You can hate it...
...Doesn't make it untrue.
Your struggle only matters if you overcome it.
Everything else is bullshit.
Put it on your back and carry it or get the fuck out of the way and wallow in your sad little life.
Nobody is coming.
That's the truth.
