When you start doing something, as in the beginning you can't see any progress, you tend to quit soon.

When you do something for a long time and become good at it, the progress is so fast and the results are so good, that you don't want to do anything else.

When you're obsessed with your purpose for long enough, there comes a vision! And then the belief. And then full understanding and it becomes inevitable 😲💪🏼🔥

"Discipline is the most important thing for success!"

How do you know? Show me what you have done? What hardships did you go through? What mistakes did you make? What did you understand?

Or you're just parroting what others say?

Compounding is the secret of success.

In any area, be it health, wealth, relationships, or any professional area, to achieve success, you need the compounding effect.

With every constructive action you do, you become better. The better you become, the faster and more constructive actions you can do. At some point, this tendency reaches its terminal velocity, and you start getting exponential results.

Decide what you want. Create a plan. Act every day. Do your best. With every step, you are coming closer to your launch!

Whatever you do is within your limits. That's why you are not growing.

For each mistake we make, we get a slap from the universe. The worse the mistake, the more painful the slap.

This is why we are afraid of progress, exploration, mistakes, communication. It is painful.

But, if as a man you can accept and receive your punishment with pride, you will be unstoppable!

Communicating nowadays becomes harder and harder.

As we are getting information through different sources, as we spend time and energy doing that, the info we get becomes 'ours', a part of us, and we view anything that doesn't align with it as a treat, going into defence immediately.

We don't even listen to what people are saying fully. Going straight into defensive or even starting to attack.

The good news is, the school of life is waiting for you. For every delusion you will be punished by the universe. The deeper the delusion, the harsher the punishment.

Happy FAFO! 😉

Trying to do everything 'your' way is as stupid as it can get.

Are you drinking water your way?

Are you doing pushups your way?

Are you driving your car your way?

Focus on important life decisions and do it your way. And for routine everyday processes, just do it as efficiently as possible!

The problem is... we don't want to find the truth... we want our worldview to remain intact.

It is an evolutionary defensive mechanism. Tribal. Very ineffective. It slows down progress... or stops it completely.

For sheep, it's not a problem, as they don't progress. But for humans... very destructive...

Stop viewing information/worldviews/mindsets/perspectives as yours or others'. It's not a sports game with teams and sides. It's not about good and evil...

It is about efficiency.

Filling your car's tank with shitty fuel and convincing yourself that you're doing good is inefficient!

Spending time in the gym for years and getting no results, but sticking to 'your' program anyway, is inefficient.

Living in a miserable relationship, convincing yourself that this is all you can do, is inefficient!

Open your mind, learn... You're doing something inefficiently!

People are rushing to become offended instead of trying to understand the message.

It is weak. If you are offended by anything and anyone, you're weak!

If you are defensive, you are weak!

But it is a choice you make, not an inevitability.

The next time you feel insecure, stop. Try to understand the message. Maybe no one is attacking you...

This is how you become strong!

If the world around you stresses you out, you're a boy, work on yourself.

You become a man, when only you can and do stress yourself, deliberately and willingly.

If you hate running, it is exactly what you need, then!

If something can happen, it may happen. If there's a possibility, it may happen, however deliberately you may try to avoid it.

Can get rejected? You may, then. I can't! Because the only person who can reject me is me, and I'll never do that. If I want something, I do it. When I see a woman I think is interesting, I approach and communicate. If I see an interesting business opportunity, I explore it. Anything else I'm interested in? I just do it. I am not rejecting myself.

Can be disrespected? You may, then. I can't! Because the only person who can disrespect me is me, and I'll never do that. No matter how other people may try to behave or treat me, I will always behave like an intelligent individual, holding my head straight, with dignity and pride.

Can be scared? You may, then. I can't! Because the only thing that can scare me is if I'll be afraid of living my life the way I want it. And any other fear that I will feel will be analyzed and acted upon, progressing towards my interests and goals with courage, like a warrior!

Can be betrayed? You may, then. I can't! Because the only person who can betray me is me, and I'll never do that. I will always have my values, principles, vision, purpose. I will always value intelligent good people who want good for me and the world. And if anyone wants to deceive me, do harm, steal, or cheat, they're betraying themselves.

You decide how your universe works. You decide who you are. You decide what's your purpose. Create and be yourself!

While it is great that you're sober for 3 months, or don't smoke cigarettes for 6, presenting it to yourself as a great achievement is putting a cap on your ambition.

You can conquer the world and achieve anything, but you're celebrating these...

"But it is a great achievement for me!"

Don't belittle yourself! Raise your ambitions! You're a winner!

Drawing conclusions based on evidence is inefficient. There's evidence for everything, and it is very hard to check.

Using conceptual thinking, logic, and experience may be a much better way. It has its drawbacks, though...

Of course you can do it. Stop searching for reasons you think you can't. You can! Just do it. You will figure it out.

We, drug addicts, need drugs to survive. It's so stupid to say that we need to stop using drugs completely. We will feel bad. And we are supposed to feel good. And it is actually impossible to live without drugs...🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😄

Are you setting goals?

Next time you set a goal, make it twice as hard as you would usually do.

Train 3 times a week for 45 minutes in the gym? Make it 6 times for 1 hour, increased intensity.

Running 5 km? Run 10!

Working for 3 hours a day on your projects? Work for 6!

Ohhh, it will be discomforting or even painful... Absolutely! And this is where your gains were hiding.

You grow like a legend or hide like a child.

You were supposed to kick your own ass, so no one else could!

You're the one who is supposed to change your life for the better!

And you're the one who is supposed to change the world for the better, too!

The time has come. There may be no tomorrow, otherwise.

Everything has its time and place.

When we were children, we were running around doing unimportant things, and it was ok.

Now, as men, we have to be strong. We have to be the leaders and show by example how to be accountable, responsible, strong, brave, how to achieve great things, and how to make the world a better place!

The world depends on us!
