HUMILITY IS REQUIRED FOR PROGRESS
It's impossible to make progress if you think you already know everything.
You don't know shit.
I don't know shit.
That person online claiming to have all the answers...
They don't know shit either.
That's just the truth.
...and the minute you start to think you've got it all figured out is the moment you'll start falling behind.
No matter how much you accomplish...
No matter how good you become...
No matter how much you learn...
There will always be room for improvement.
This is an awareness you must develop.
If you can't drop your ego and be honest with yourself about how little you know...
You don't stand a chance.
The world will pass you by while you're sitting there thinking you've arrived.
Humble yourself.
You will always have a lot more to learn and improve on.
If you think you don't...
You've already lost.
You just don't know it yet.

THE MYTH OF "MAINTAINING"
You're either moving forward or backward.
Always.
...and what you like to think of as "maintaining" is actually going backward.
Not because you're literally moving in the wrong direction.
Because while you choose to take it easy, sit on your ass, and "coast"...
Your competition is continually making progress.
Average people think they can string a few wins together...
Kick their feet up...
...and finally relax and maintain.
This happens to be exactly what keeps them average.
Real winners understand that success is built in the constant pursuit of their potential.
Taking their foot off the gas means certain death.
Understand that you will never be done.
Never be done learning.
Never be done improving.
Never be done achieving.
Never be done growing.
"Maintaining" is a myth.
It's forward or backward.
...and choosing not to move is moving backward by default.
That's the truth.
Every day is a new opportunity to make progress.
Take full advantage of it or get fucking smashed by the people who do.
Those are your options.

LEARN TO CUT THE DEAD WEIGHT
Achieving anything of true significance is hard enough on its own.
Don't make it harder by carrying dead weight.
Every person who drains your energy...
Every habit that doesn't serve your vision...
Every distraction that pulls you away from your goals...
Every story you tell yourself that keeps you small...
Cut it out.
All of it.
You only have so much energy.
...and to think you're going to win with 60-80% of the energy you could have while your competition has 100%...
That's arrogant.
Winners are extremely selective with who and what they allow in their lives.
If you're serious about reaching your goals...
You should be too.
If it doesn't contribute to your vision...
If it doesn't make you stronger...
If it doesn't move you forward...
It doesn't belong.
Period.
You can't run at full speed with dead weight on your back.
Cut it out.
Your success depends on it.

YOUR DECISIONS CREATE YOUR OUTCOME
Cultivating the ability to make conscious decisions that align with your long-term goals when itâs inconvenient or seemingly impossible is the ultimate key to creating the life you want.
Without that ability ⌠you are fucked.
Life isnât going to ask if you feel like it todayâŚ
âŚitâs going to punch you in the mouth and expect you to keep moving.
It doesnât stop to ask if youâre okay.
It doesn't let up just because you think itâs unfair.
No. It goes in for the kill.
Then it proceeds to step on your throat harder and harder until you fight back or die.
That's the game.
If youâre ability to execute is tied to how motivated you feel...
Youâre already finished.
Literally NOTHING can save you.
Everyone says they want to winâŚ
Everyone has goalsâŚ
âŚbut 99% of people collapse the second it gets uncomfortable.
They fold when itâs raining.
They tap when theyâre tired.
They bitch out when itâs hard.
âŚand then cry about why nothing changes.
They donât have a strategy problem.
They have a discipline problem.
They keep making decisions that feel good right now at the cost of everything they say they want later.
Thatâs why they stay stuck.
That's how the game works and nobody gets to change the rules.
You donât get to cheat the process and still collect the result.
You either become the kind of person who does whatâs required no matter whatâŚ
OrâŚ
You settle for the watered-down version of your life that your weaker self can tolerate.
Thatâs the war.
It plays out every day in the smallest decisions:
What you eat.
How you train.
How you speak.
What you allow.
What you ignore.
What information you consume.
Who you surround yourself with.
How you move.
Whether or not you choose to be honest with yourself.
You think those choices donât matter?
THEY'RE THE ONLY THING THAT HAS EVER MATTERED.
You not understanding that to the core of your soul is why you are losing.
Because at the end of the dayâŚ
If you canât make the right decisions ⌠you canât create the right outcome.
Discipline is the foundation to anything worthwhile.

BUILD YOURSELF FIRST
You can't be everything for everybody.
It's impossible.
Quit trying to be.
If you want to make a real impact on the people around you...
You have to be everything for yourself first.
If you aren't working to become your undeniable best...
You can't be anything for anybody because you'll have nothing to give.
No lessons.
No experiences.
No skills.
It's that simple.
You can't lead from a place of weakness.
Build yourself first.
Pursue your own true potential first.
Only then will you have something of true value to offer others.
You can't give what you don't have yourself.

YOU'RE NOT BROKEN
Itâs Menâs Mental Heath Awareness month.
My feed has been filled with nice, wholesome ânobody understands the silent struggle of menâ and âcheck in on your strong friendsâ posts.
Honestly, as someone who has had real struggles with mental health at different points of my lifeâŚ
As someone who has experienced real violence and real trauma being stabbed in the face at 23 years old, almost dying and then living with permanent facial paralysis and disfigurement.
As someone who had pushed through a million other things thrown at me.
âŚand as someone who has thought about checking out so many times I canât explain. Iâd like to share what had helped me more than anything.
Itâs very simple:
Get out of your fucking feelings and get into the game.
Thatâs it.
Come to terms with some of these very factual truths:
Youâre not broken.
Youâre bored.
Youâre not sick.
Youâre soft.
Youâre not âburned out.â
Youâre just living like someone who forgot they were built to kick ass.
A big reason you feel like shit is because you keep avoiding the work you know you need to do.
Itâs not burnout.
Itâs not bad luck or your zodiac sign.
Itâs not because you didnât go to enough therapy.
Itâs the weight of your own excuses finally collapsing on your chest.
That pressure you feel?
That anxiety that wonât go away?
That low grade misery youâve been calling âstressâ?
Thatâs your potential screaming at you because youâre sitting still while everything inside you is begging you to fucking move.
You werenât made for the couch.
You werenât made for the scroll.
You werenât made to be coddled, medicated, numbed, and pacified.
You were built to build.
Tolead.
To suffer for something meaningful.
To push past comfort while everyone else rots in it.
You donât need affirmations.
You donât need more âself-awareness.â
You need self-respect.
âŚand self-respect only comes from action.
So yeahâŚthe reason you feel down right now?
Itâs because you know youâre capable of more and youâre not doing a fucking thing about it.
Stop overanalyzing your emotions like theyâre sacred truths.
Theyâre not.
Theyâre signals.
âŚand right now, theyâre telling youthat youâre wasting your fucking life.
So fix it.
Not with more talk.
Not with another post.
Not with some pity party in your own head.
Not with more journaling or touching of the grass.
With action.
Real action.
The kind that gets your hands dirty.
The kind that hurts a little.
The kind that makes you proud because you didnât tap out today.
You want to feel better?
Become better.
Build the version of you that doesnât need to escape reality because he fucking owns it.
That doesnât mean youâll never struggle.
It means youâll finally have the strength to do something about it instead of sitting around hoping it passes.
So stop identifying with your emotions like theyâre who you are.
Theyâre not.
Youâre not your fear.
Youâre not your stress.
Youâre not your apathy.
Youâre what you fucking do.
So do something worth being proud of.
âŚand let the feelings catch the fuck up.
Let victim culture swallow everyone else.
You are going to show the world what it looks like to overcome, conquer, build, create and becomeâŚ
âŚbecause thatâs who the fuck you are and you understand they need to see it.
Itâs a duty.

"WHAT WILL THEY SAY?"
"What will they say?â
This thought has killed more dreams than anything on Earth.
Imagine giving up all your dreams...
All your potential...
All your happiness...
All your wealth...
All your fulfillment...
Everything you could ever build, create or become...
All the people whose lives would benefit from your self-actualization...
Imagine giving all of that up because of what some fucking loser that has zero impact on the world might have to say about it.
That's the ultimate weakness.

WRITE YOUR STORY OF OVERCOMING
Social media has become a stage for who can cry the loudest.
A contest for who has it the worst.
Whoâs the biggest victimâŚ
Who can milk the most sympathy from a crowd of strangers who are barely listening anywayâŚ
Itâs pathetic.
Post after post of people begging for attention under the disguise of âbeing vulnerable.â
Guess what?
Everyone has hard days.
Everyoneâs been knocked down.
Everyoneâs had shit happen to them they didnât deserve.
Your pain isnât special.
Your struggle isnât unique.
Your sad story doesnât make you interesting.
It makes you common.
Youâre not a hero for surviving normal human experiences.
You got hurt?
So has everyone.
You failed?
So has everyone.
Youâre tired, frustrated, broken?
Join the fucking club.
That doesnât make you different.
That makes you human.
What makes you different is what you do about itâŚ
Losers compete over who has it the worst.
They bond over shared struggle but never fucking move past it.
They wear their wounds like name tags and wonder why no one respects them.
Winners donât do that.
Winners donât sit around comparing trauma.
They donât beg for likes over hard times.
They fight.
They build.
They transform.
They take the pain and turn it into pressure that fuels the next chapter.
Because they knowâŚ
The only story anyone cares to hear is the one where you overcome.
So quit posting about how hard it is.
Itâs hard for everyone.
Itâs called life.
Take the hit.
Deal with it.
Leverage it for the lesson.
Win with it.
âŚand if you really want to inspire someoneâŚ
Donât cry about your situation...
Conquer it.
âŚand tell them how you did it.

EXECUTION IS ALL THAT MATTERS
You will have good days.
You will have bad days.
This is an unavoidable fact of life.
It's also the reason why most people never win in anything they do.
When the bad days come around...
They allow their mood to dictate their execution.
Instead of facing and overcoming the obstacles, challenges, and struggle they're presented with on these days...
They sit on their hands and bitch.
A lot of them even struggle to execute on their good days.
So let me ask you...
What would your life look like if you didn't only execute to a high standard on your good days...
But every day regardless of how you feel?
How much more progress could you make?
How much further could you go?
If you truly want to win in life...
You must understand that your mood is irrelevant.
Your execution is.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing at all.

HAPPINESS IS BUILT
One of the most destructive lies being shoved down your throat is that youâre entitled to happiness.
Bullshit.
You are not owed happiness just because you exist.
You donât get to breathe air and expect fulfillment.
You donât get to show up half assed
and expect peace of mind to land in your lap and do a little dance.
Thatâs not how this works.
You donât âdeserveâ to feel good about your life if youâve been behaving in ways that make you hate who you see in the mirror.
You donât âdeserveâ to feel proud
when you havenât done a single thing worth being proud of.
Real happiness is earned.
Itâs bought with pain.
Discipline.
Consistency.
Sacrifice.
You want to feel good in your body?
Then earn that right.
Lift. Train. Eat like someone who gives a fuck.
You want to feel confident in your bank account?
Then stop buying shit you canât afford and build the fucking skillset required to win.
You want to be proud of the person in the mirror?
Then stop pretending and become someone who canât be ignored.
These arenât affirmations.
These are earned rights.
And no, your past doesnât excuse your lazinessâŚ
Your trauma doesnât justify your excuses.
Your âstoryâ doesnât buy you peace.
You donât get to blame your parentsâŚ
Your jobâŚ
Your exâŚ
Your upbringing..
âŚor society.
Everyone has a fucking story.
âŚand deep down you already know why youâre not happy.
Youâre living beneath your potential
and trying to make it feel okay.
âŚbut you canât lie to yourself forever.
You know when youâre cutting corners.
You know when youâre full of shit.
You know when the way youâre living doesnât match the life you say you want.
âŚand that gap is why youâre miserable.
Not the world.
Not your boss.
You.
Happiness isnât found.
Itâs built.
Through action.
Through standards.
Through waking up and choosing to stop being a fucking liability to your own future.
If youâre unhappy right nowâŚthis is why.
You havenât earned it.
Fix that.
Today.
âŚor keep being a miserable, unfulfilled human who spends the rest of their life wondering âwhat ifâŚ?â
