I always plan a ton before carrying out the actual tasks as a way to avoid doing the actual things so that I can have a perfect start for another task that I will never take action for or just give up half way through.
I always convince myself that I will do it when the minute hand hits 0, 15, 30 because it just doesn’t feel right starting anything when the time is as odd as something like 11:47. Guess what. I never do it even when it’s a perfect 12:00.

You Are Weak Minded
The separation of winners and failures occurs primarily within mindset, the state of mind you are in when you embark on your journey. Some people forget how important the mind is to playing the game of life. Your mind is what dictates your perception, which is what you use to propel you and push you.
If you ask any successful person, they will tell you that it’s all in your head. Your head is what determines how badly you want it and how much you are willing to give up for it. It controls your subconscious and it keeps your thoughts positive in order to motivate you.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “No pain – no gain.” Consciously, you might agree with the idea; it seems obvious that succeeding is often hard, unpleasant work.
Subconsciously, however, humans are terrified of all pain: physical; emotional; psychological. Tony Robbins said it best: most of what we do revolves around avoiding pain and seeking pleasure.
But what if you could use pain to your advantage? What if pain can help you achieve the impossible?

As a self-loathing, chronic procrastinator I’ve often ridden the self improvement train. You know, the “I just watched 5 motivational videos of The Rock saying you can do anything you set your mind to, and today I’m going to change my entire life, omg yes” train. Of course, that effort never quite ends the way we’d envision it; with the new lifestyle lasting all of a week before we’re back to old habits.

For any guy that needs to hear this whether they are having troubles in dating or life in general. Just know that you are a trophy that is to be won as well.
Often many men will put beautiful they see/meet on a pedestal and act completely different from who they actually are, which only pushes them away. You wouldn’t change the game plan that got you to the championship, would you? Be yourself and know that you yourself are enough to shoulder your own happiness. Girlfriends aren’t meant to be your happiness, they are there to enhance it. You need to wake up everyday, look in the mirror and have the mentality of “you know what? I’m a F****** catch and anybody would be lucky to have me”.
Habits are the compound interest of self‐improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.
Respect is earned and it’s not the respect of others that matters, it’s the respect that you give yourself that actually means something.
We can talk all day about feeling empowered, making an impact and being the best version of yourself. But none of it matters if you don’t have a plan for your life.

I used to be a mental wimp…
No, seriously. About 10 years ago, I was a total mental weakling. I couldn’t go for long without AC, my work ethic was equivalent to that of a 60’s stoner, and the thought of a cold shower just about made me pass out.
Ok, I might be exaggerating a little bit, but I can PROMISE you I wasn’t mentally tough.
Today, I train with heavy weights 4x a week, have taken cold showers (almost) every day for more than half a decade, worked countless 16 hour days to build my 7-figure business, and have generally become way tougher mentally and physically.
If I can do it, anyone can.
Here’s how I boosted my mental strength and how you can to.

You can spend your whole life listening to other people tell you that it’s not possible or that you will never pull it off or you can listen to yourself, believe in yourself and back yourself!
It doesn’t matter what other people say or think it only matters what you think and what you believe is possible for you!
Whatever your vision, goal or dream is you have to know with absolute faith and conviction that you will get there and you will make it happen and that starts with believing in yourself and knowing exactly what you want!
You become unstoppable when your purpose becomes clear within your own mind and when you believe with everything you have that it’s possible and when you finally stand up and declare that you will not stop until you get exactly what you want!
Be relentless and so determined that no one or nothing can deny you or separate you from what you truly believe in!
You cannot be completely happy in your life if you’re not already aware of what you already have! Why? because you’re always chasing something you don’t have and even after getting it, it’s the same damn cycle over and over again!
” I’ll be happy when I get rich! “
” I’ll be happy when I cracked that exam or got that grade! “
” I’ll be happy if only he/she behave me better “
” I’ll be happy if my parents be that way “
People Please! Stop bullshi*ting yourself!
Life is a journey, Not a Destination! so learn to enjoy all of it.
