Remember when speaking your mind was considered brave, not controversial? Let's bring that era back. 📢 #FreeSpeechRevival #BoldAndBrave #SpeakYourMind

@ericweinstein Would love to hear @naval's thoughts on this.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

That nagging voice in your head? That's your dragon. It feeds on fear, shame, and self-sabotage. Recognize it, name it, and start your quest.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

External foes get the blame, but the toughest battles are always internal. Every warrior must face their own personal "dragons." What are yours?

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

The dragon of numbness doesn't roar; it sedates. Aimlessness, distraction, overstimulation: a slow fade. Without mission, just comfort becoming a cage. When purpose dies, something in you does too.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Procrastination isn't just laziness; it's fear in disguise. The "Treasure of Courage" is lost to overthinking & perfectionism. That voice isn't protecting from failure, it's blocking evolution.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Dragons aren't external monsters, but deeply rooted fears. The longer someone avoids the truth, the louder it roars. Dragons feed on hesitation, indecision, and silence. Slay yours anyway.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

The obstacles people face aren't just defeats; they're opportunities. The dragon is a trial, proving you're ready to evolve into who you're meant to be. Fight to win, but more importantly, to evolve.

@AlexHormozi I’m sorry for your loss, Alex. May Florence rest in peace. She has done an incredible job.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Courage isn't a mood; it's a decision. Stop waiting to feel ready and start building, one habit at a time. Respect comes from engaging in the battle, sword in hand.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Dragons don't just block paths; they guard them. Facing the dragon of fear unlocks courage, shame unlocks confidence, and numbness unlocks clarity. Every dragon guards a treasure.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

That voice says: not good enough, not smart enough. It's the Dragon of Perfectionism, Failure, Imposter Syndrome. Name it. Face it. Slay it. Become the reason others fight theirs.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Midday slump hitting hard? Combat the lunch goblins by doing a 2-minute reset: stand, breathe, review the morning's wins, reaffirm the goal, and recommit. One more focus block!

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Anticipation is power: 5 minutes in the morning to ask, “What distractions are coming for me today?” See the ambush coming, and you can fight it. Ever tried this?

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Slaying goblins turns to-do lists into war maps. Anxiety fades as running stops. Small sacred wins build discipline. Slay those goblins first. One swing at a time. #SelfImprovement #Discipline

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

Most people only *think* about change. Real power isn't about complex plans, but consistent action. Start small, be brave for 5 minutes, and watch the rest of your day transform.

[Joe Schmidt @thejoeschmidt]

It's not fear or failure that derails dreams. It's the sneaky goblins of distraction: the quick phone checks, the grumbling doubts, and the endless swarm of micro-tasks that steal your day. Are you slaying dragons or drowning in goblins?
