No matter what stage of life you're in right now, find one thing you're proud that you worked on.
Could be your work ethic, how you handle relationships, showing up for people when they're in need
Literally anything big or small.
Recognizing your progress matters
this is all you got. one life. one body. one shot to see how far you can actually go.
so take the chances. take all of them. risk the embarrassment. risk the failure. risk looking foolish in pursuit of something that matters. playing it safe gets you nothing worth having. swing for the fences. bet on yourself. go all in on the thing that terrifies you.
leave it all out there. every ounce of effort. every bit of energy. every piece of yourself. because you don’t get another round. this is it.
so dance when you feel like dancing. work until your hands shake. play like you’re ten again. love so hard it scares you. cry when you need to cry. suffer on purpose to find out what you’re made of. push yourself into the fire to see what comes out the other side.
make a name. make an impact. make something that outlives you. because you’re here once. and burn this one life down to nothing in pursuit of everything.
abuse your unfair advantage everywhere
everyone has it
> if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 18 hr days
> if your know a guy who knows a guy, use that guy
> if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself
life isnt an even playing field
all the "winners" are not playing fair
to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage
and abuse it
A lack of money teaches you the importance of money.
A lack of strength teaches you the importance of strength.
You’re never going to be truly thankful for something, unless there was a time you needed it...
And didn’t have it.
life is strange. you arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing, make sure your soul gains more than your hands
