Speak 5 lines to yourself every morning:
1. I am the BEST.
2. I CAN do it.
3. GOD is ALWAYS with me.
4. I am a WINNER.
5. Today is MY DAY.
Do this for 30 days straight.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT, As I turn 43 this year, I have realised, as a man, no one cares about you. Not your wife. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your workmates. Nobody. People act like they care, but deep down, they don't. You are on your own. Always on your own.
The best advice I heard from a stranger was this: Give luck more opportunities to bump into you. Leave the house, take a different road, travel, and say yes to new experiences. The more you do, the more life surprises you in the best ways.
First, they will ignore you,
Then, they will mock you,
Then, they will laugh at you,
Then, they will betray you,
Then, they will fight you,
Then, YOU WIN.
Keep going. Refuse to be distracted.
A man without money is a man without a voice. You could be the smartest man in the room, but if your pockets are empty, no one listens. Family and relatives are only nice when you have something to offer. Get up every day and work like hell. The world is very cruel to a poor man.
