Watching Financially Incorrect i have realised a headstart in life from your parents and background really plays a major major part of your success in life in later days. Successful people come from very well to do families. However trivial they make it seem sometimes.
your relationship with discipline changes so much when you shift from doing things from love rather than shame. from ‘i have to clean’ - to realizing i deserve to have a clean home. from ‘i need to work out’ - to i deserve to have a healthy body. you deserve the best from yourself.
You are not happiest when you have everything you want. You are happiest when you are in the process of getting what you want and can feel your own progress every day.
a pattern l've noticed in successful people:
they disappear from the world for months at a time to force pure focus on themselves and their vision. they laser in on one meaningful goal and make it a reality.
The real 'inner work' is outer work. Build things. Meet people. Go for runs. Go for lifts. Focus on the world outside yourself. Use your body. Walk. Wander. Sweat. Make art. Start businesses.
Your head will feel better when you use your hands more than your mind.
STUDY HARD. No matter if it seems impossible. No matter if it takes time. Wake up early and start studying for your future. Just remember that the feeling of success is the best feeling in the world.
If you have multiple interests, don't let anyone convince you that you should narrow your focus. You may be confused for a while, but if you stick it out, you will blow past everyone else.
