If you aren't tired when you go to bed and excited when you wake up, you need intensity and goals.
A thread on getting what you want out of life:
The best way to make significant progress is to force yourself into a place you don't belong (and let practice bridge the gap).
If you don't focus your mind on what you want, it will be focused on what others want for you.
The ability to focus your attention on a meaningful goal, holding that in the back of your mind as a distraction repellent, knowing exactly how to achieve it through prior experience, and refocusing on the choice in front of you is a superpower.
If you don't have goals you don't have a lens to view life from. Opportunities will pass you by and you'll be clueless as to why "life isn't fair."
The dream life is only โ€œthe dream lifeโ€ until it normalizes. The only path to sustainable fulfillment is to have a purpose, mission, and and accompanying priorities that bring you a deep sense of satisfaction.
The most interesting people are the ones who realize that struggle, difficulty, and discomfort are interpretations.
They know they can push twice as far as their mind says they can. And when they do, life offers a lesson that isn't available to the average individual.
Where most people quit is where greatness is born.
The sooner you start the sooner you can start sucking less.
You canโ€™t improve what doesnโ€™t exist.
Post the video. Launch the product. Pitch the service. And donโ€™t be the person that tries to be perfect without realizing it.
The first will be embarrassing.
Guaranteed.
When you delay embarrassment, you delay any form of success.
The only way to gain self-respect is to put yourself in a difficult situation and overcome the hardship.
The easiest way to build an independent income source is to solve a problem in your life, document the solution, and use your personal experience to market it.
One meaningful project.
One hour of focused work.
One day at a time, without waver.
That's the secret you're looking for.
One day you will have to face the reality that you will have to do things you donโ€™t want to get what you want.
