You can’t think average and do average things and expect that you will get above average results. It just doesn’t work like that. If you want to get a different outcome than everyone else, you’re going need to put in unique inputs. You can do what you’re told, which is the same thing that everyone else does, and you will receive the same thing that everyone else receives. This is certainly not what you want. Special outcomes require a specialized approach. You’re not going to copy someone else’s blueprint and get better results than the person you copied. If you want to get better results you’ve got to do something that is out of the ordinary. In fact, you need to do A LOT that is out of the ordinary. If you choose to just do the ordinary things everyone else does, you are going to get the ordinary results everyone else gets.

Bleed consistently. Have strong habits. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” It’s not about doing something one time; to truly succeed you’re going to have to accomplish small tasks over and over, day by day. You’re best off focusing your mind on the habits more than anything, because the right habit is going to take you wherever you want to go.

Fill up your whole day with positive, productive actions, and you simply won’t have any time for negativity or unproductive activities. If you consistently spend all of your time doing things that are beneficial for you and your future, you won’t have enough time to set yourself back with the fuckery.

Take life seriously because if you truly love life you will not waste any time. You will not procrastinate because that is the paramount enemy of progress. If you know what you need to do, then you should do it — IMMEDIATELY. If you’re not exactly sure of what you need to do, then you need to start doing SOMETHING, in order to get the momentum going on your side. You’re always either building, or you’re destroying. Choose the right option.

Confidence is the ultimate cheat code in life. When you move with solid purpose and extreme self-belief, the universe will conspire to guarantee that you’re successful. You will attract better people and better circumstances into your life. Things will come easier for you. Other people will seek to be around you. You’ll be able to control your own destiny and call your own shots. And the opposite holds true as well — when you LACK confidence, you’ll be ready to accept the scraps in life when you really should be receiving the best of life. You’ll be accepting hot dogs and beef jerky when you really deserve filet mignon. You’ll be applying for the janitor position when you really should be the CEO. So make sure to keep your confidence as high as possible.
