I'm begging you to please start taking your life more seriously. You don't have much time on this earth. Stop wasting it by doomscrolling, partying, and numbing your mind with cheap dopamine. Lock in. Fix your finances. Improve your relationships. Get in shape because looking good matters. Surround yourself with people who push you to be better. You'd be surprised by just how great your life will be if you just took yourself more seriously.
You can achieve almost anything you want in life if you learn to master one thing: Shame.
That fear of looking stupid. Fear of being judged. Fear of trying and failing in public. The reality is, People judge. People talk. And then... people forget. So, fuck what people think. Just do what you gotta do. This one singular mindset shift can change your whole life.
Want to change your life? Master one thing: Shame. Stop fearing judgment, looking stupid, or failing in public. People will talk, judge and, criticize you. Then they’ll move on. Stop living for their approval. Do what you need to do. Take the risk and build the life you want.
why not you? you are allowed to believe that your life could become something you can barely comprehend from where you’re standing today. you are allowed to take that belief seriously enough to build your days around it, even when the evidence hasn’t caught up yet. you dont know what you could become five years from now - and that’s exactly the point.

Sean has inspired, frustrated me, made me proud, and repeatedly tried—and failed—to stop me from cheering him on. The gym-rat, dancer, party-goer and energy god, he reminds me to laugh when I get too caught up in holding myself to impossible standards.
So happy birthday to my actual twin—not merely one of the many people, including Shenseea, who happen to share our birthday. 😂
One of the few men I’d give my last dollar to, fight for without hesitation, and still trust to find his way.
The incomparable @SeanABennett.
There has both never been a better time in human history to be creative and disciplined, or a worse time to be stupid and lazy. The former can make millions of dollars and live their dream life with relative ease, while the latter has infinite hedonistic distraction and no social support structure, ensuring they live in constant hell.
Everybody think a comeback gotta be a new car, more money, new house or popping out looking good. Sometimes the comeback is getting YOU back. Sleeping good again,Laughing again, Not overthinking every damn thing, Not checking on people who hurt you! Sitting by yourself & actually
