You feel tired because you don’t exercise enough.
You feel insecure because you don’t work hard enough.
You feel anxious because you don’t take enough risks.
You feel lonely because you don’t spend enough time alone.
You feel lost because you don’t respect yourself enough.
There is nothing more common than talented people who never deliver.
It’s not enough to have potential, you need to respect yourself and get things done.
Don’t let a comfortable salary and a circle of unambitious friends deter you from chasing the best version of yourself
You‘ll look back with regrets, wondering how much more you could have achieved if you’d had the courage to walk alone and take big risks just once in your life
Intelligence begins once you are aware of your own stupidity.
Talent begins once you are aware of your own laziness.
Love begins once you are aware of your own selfishness.
Luck begins once you are aware of your own lack of preparation.
Wealth begins once you are aware of your own short-term mindset.
Success begins once you are aware of your tendency to come up with excuses all the time.
You shouldn’t have time to complain about life being hard.
You should be busy getting physically stronger, mentally sharper, financially in a better place, building relationships with loyal friends who have your back, taking smart risks and investing in your future freedom.
Build long-term relationships with people who have already built a healthy relationship with themselves. If they aren't there yet, be patient, let them do their own journey first.
Financial freedom feels great at first,
but if you don’t find yourself a goal that goes beyond “making money,”
the years just pass, and you will feel like you are exploring a lot, but not going anywhere meaningful.
Be ambitious, have a concrete impact on other people’s lives.
You can get insanely wealthy and still feel poor, unloved, empty, if you didn't take the time to cultivate healthy, deep, meaningful relationships with people around you.
Many wealthy people you will never hear about, because they don't enjoy showing off
Many strong people you will never hear about, because they don't enjoy entertaining others for money
Many smart people you will never hear about, because they keep their happy lives private
You want to get luckier in life, start respecting yourself, start investing in yourself more intelligently, start becoming someone both your ancestors and your younger self would be proud of.
If you are constantly too busy for people you love, remember that one day, you won’t care that much about chasing money and success anymore, you will have plenty of free time, and you will finally notice, too late, that the people you loved might no longer be around anymore.
Looking young for your age is actually a sign of intelligence:
you understood that life is way more fun in the healthier, fitter version of yourself
you figured out how to eat well, exercise well, feel well
you had the self-discipline to stick to your routine for many decades.
