Sunday. 3am. 20-30? Read this or you'll end up in your own personal hell at 40.
The odds are YOU will never experience any of the potential of your life. Here's why.
Most people reading this (*cough* you) will be in the exact same place in 5 years.
Same bars. Same habits. Sameish job. Same friends. Just a bit worse older, more tired. Less time.
You are not the main character. That inner self and drama your experiencing in your head that's so important to you is not even a bleep in any persons radar or churn of the universe.
The universe is fine with you ending up a washed up 50 year beer bellied middle class red faced dweeb with a wife that won't fuck you and a 50 hour a week job you hate.
There is not some arc where you get called to adventure and thing's work out. You will repeat the same life you have now till you die if you don't get deadly serious and fight back with deadly intent.
Odds are you won't give up the habits and junk slowing you down. You won't do the weird, hard, scary work on yourself.
You seriously likely won't. No one does. You're not different. You won't give up your nasty habits. You won't do the new things. You won't leave your comfort zone.
You'll have the goals and a person you want to become that you'll delay because you have "time".
Then you will notice you have a little less time...Then your just out. Your old. It's to late.
This has been your life.
A series of repetitive comfortable experiences you chose for short term comfort in exchange for giving up pretty much everything that you actually wanted to do in life.
I say "you" so much because this is the default for 99% of people.
They catch a few addictions like binge drinking on weekends n bad habits that slow them down. They don't take risks. They think they have more time then they have and then POW.
They are at the same damn bars/level at 40 talking about how cool they were in college and how fun life was.
This hell is 1000% coming for you right now. Every day you sit around and do the same dumb ass comfortable shit, it catches up to you because it doesn't rest/sleep.
Remember : You are not the main character. The universe and time is aloof to the little self going on in your head. You are beyond irrelevant. Nothing has to work out.
Put your fucking foot down. Right now is absolutely when to handle your shit and slam the eject button on being a normal person.
You simply just don't have time to play dick in or dick out here.
You are not special and thus you will likely end up like everyone else. Do you think other people did/do not have dreams and think they have a bright future to?
They don't. Neither do you. You have a pile of shit n regret coming at you more than likely.
Get serious, or go join all the dorks at buffalo wild wings talking about a frat party they went to 20 years ago and complaining about how expensive the side of fries is.
Simple goal setting:
Before:
1) What problem are we solving?
2) Whatโs the hypothesis? If I do X, I think Y will improve.
3) How do I measure X (activity)
4) How do I measure Y (output)
After:
5) Did I do X?
6) If so, did Y happen?
