We don't want to progress and become better. We just want to hang out with people who confirm our beliefs and go to places where we can do whatever we love.

When you're an unconscious monkey, your weaknesses make your life miserable and are used by bad people to enslave you.

When you're a conscious individual, your weaknesses make you smarter, stronger, and ultimately free you. Because you notice and start working on yourself. And that's the ultimate happiness and freedom hack.

When you play video games, you get pleasure. Your body thinks it is good and you want to do it again, more, always. And you will defende your right to play.

The same is true for sugar and all processed food, alcohol, masturbation, cigarettes, or anything that gives you cheap pleasure.

You are an addict. And it destroys your life. But you can change it...

What is the goal here? If you would be able to take a pill and become jacked, strong, intelligent, and rich, would you? What would you do next?

Our bodies crave pleasure, and we can't change that. In the past, whatever gave us pleasure was beneficial for our lives and survival. Nowadays, things have changed, and we get cheap pleasure from artificial sources.

The problem is that our bodies can't distinguish whether the pleasure we experience is beneficial or destructive. Once we receive enough pleasure, the body relaxes and stops seeking meaningful actions and beneficial progress.

If you're finding pleasure in things like food, watching TV, music, alcohol, or anything else that's not beneficial to your life, you'll become satisfied and relax. You won't pursue what's truly important.

If you want to achieve greatness, you must eliminate all cheap, meaningless pleasures from your life. Yes, it's difficult. We are all like addicts, craving these quick pleasures, and the mere thought of quitting can cause panic. But if you want to accomplish great things, there's no other way.

Set up your life so that you derive pleasure only from meaningful activities that propel you forward!

Every time I struggle and face a difficult choice, I remember that there are two paths: the path of mediocrity and the path of greatness.

If you're unhealthy, weak, and obese, you have chosen that. Defend yourself as much as you want, no one cares.

But there's another way. The way of change. The way that can make you healthy, strong, and fit. And for that, you need to leave your beliefs behind and start learning.

In society, everything is about connections. No matter who you are or how great your capabilities may be, if you're in the wrong place, you can't achieve anything meaningful. Connections elevate you to another level!

"But I like tasty food!"

You just messed up your sensitivity with artificial stuff so much, that you can't feel the real taste of things...

Simple meat cooked on fire tastes infinately good. Stop deceiving yourself.

When you make food more tasty, you eat more food. This is why most people have excessive fat...

Make food simpler, as close to original meat cooked on fire as possible, and don't add anything artificial (sauces or spices). You won't ever overeat this way and will always be lean.

192 hours. Today I felt better. Less weakness. Was doing usual things: workout, riding my sportbike, doing business, writing, creating, shooting & editing videos.

My weight is 86.1 kg, down 6 kg. My ketons were at 5.6 mmol/l, which means I'm in deep ketosis.

No food thoughts come into my mind, as I'm thinking about greatness most of the time. I even visited a store to see if I'll have a reaction to food, nothing... https://video.nostr.build/e5710733a88aab0fd81e48972e66cb028a0d6a073ffcbf3db3b0ff936a6c65dc.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/c132bc4fd3b2bb04dc6d46170a77509e2b9f34b5cafadeffc11b4cef1a08efeb.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/4faf45694fa61de755226e4b433d6b276982aa26b3db1a47a13777d1d3cbf680.mp4

Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you proud of yourself? Are you healthy? Do you look good? Think... Have you achieved whatever you wanted? This is your only chance, you're living once! Isn't it worth it to push harder and achieve whatever you want? To be proud of yourself?

Once upon a time, I wanted to sell a gold jewelry accessory to get some money. I went to the gold market and approached a random seller. She looked at the accessory and priced it at $500. "Okay," I said, "I'll ask around and come back if I need to." I approached the next seller, who looked at it and priced it at $450. The next one priced it at $400, and the following one at $380. The price eventually went down to $350. "Okay," I thought, "now I know who pays the most, I'll sell it to the first lady."

I went back to her, and she told me, "I'll give you $350."

"But you said you would give me $500," I objected.

"I was willing to give you $500 when you first arrived at the market. Now that I know no one else will pay more than $350, I won't offer more. And in the future, here's some advice: when you approach a professional, never doubt their skills."

This is exactly what we do in our day-to-day lives: we doubt everything. We hire a professional and then intervene in the process with our unprofessional opinions and visions.

Don't be an amateur. Choose the professional you trust and let them do their work.

The best way to get big muscles is to lift weights. But to do that efficiently, you need to get used to it. You need several years of training in the gym for that.

The best way of losing weight is fasting. But to do that efficiently, you need to do occasional fasts for several years, getting used to it.

Once, I saw a motorcycle riding down the street. I wanted it to be mine so I could ride it around the world. But neither the motorcycle was mine, nor was the world. Who said that dreams come true? Dreams rarely come true. I think the journey toward the dream is more important. The journey that will put you to the test, where you start to understand that everything has its price — freedom, disillusionment, happiness, or its pursuit. And at the end of the day, you decide whether to stop or keep moving.

It took me years to understand that the world is mine, that every second is just the movement of hands on my clock, and every decision is my choice among unlimited opportunities. If you keep moving, at the end of the road, you will discover, without a doubt, that you have won. And it doesn't matter if your dream came true; you will win. You will win when you dare. https://video.nostr.build/a5bba9efcd5ffad01da14831b61be090e93e91d0bf605f77e40c39fd0dff8378.mp4

Today is the 8th day of my 28-day water fasting. Down 6 kg (13 lbs) already. Going strong 🔥🔥🔥 https://video.nostr.build/fc46aa4e4cad151a6f28ed5e023366376ef91653fc582dd92f767f4102986e7f.mp4

For lazy mediocre dorks: If there is no difference, if your life is meaningless anyway, why not do things that are beneficial and avoid harmful stuff?

The difference between a strong man and a mediocre boy is decisions.

You decide to learn.

You decide to progress.

You decide to be strong.

You decide to create your life.

You decide to explore the world.

You decide to conquer your fears.

You decide to do beneficial things.

And then you act.

Anyone can do that!

Whatever options you allow in your life, whatever choices are ok, whatever outcomes you accept, will become your reality. We always tend toward the easiest paths. If it's possible in your universe, it will happen.

Ruthlessly moderate and decide what you allow!

When you understand that you're the chosen one and it is your purpose to become great, everything becomes obvious, and you become calm and driven. No discomfort or pain can stop you anymore. You just continue walking your path of greatness...
