The Improved You

You can’t just sit around wasting time. You can’t sit around just waiting for the “right time”. You can’t wait for things to happen. You definitely can’t wait for somebody to come along and do it for you. That’s just not how life works. Nobody is coming to save you. It’s on you. You have to take accountability for how your life currently is and where it’s headed. You are the one that’s responsible for whatever goes in within your existence.

At the end of the day it comes down to what you actually DO. The results come from your actions, not your thoughts. Your thoughts obviously influence your actions immensely, but at the end of the day it’s the actual actions that move the needle. Behavior is what determines the direction of your life, and nothing else. So even if you feel like shit doing it, if you do the right things consistently you are going to see a tremendous level of success.

No matter how you feel on the inside, always present the strongest and most put together front you possibly can. There is rarely a benefit of projecting weakness or insecurity to the public. There is almost no benefit of speaking negatively about yourself (or others, for that matter). Promote your strengths. Speak about the positive things going on in your life. Talk about the great things you’ve got going on. Talk about the great things you are doing. Keep all of your speech positive. Even if everything is fucked up in your life, even if it all seems to be going wrong for you, don’t let anyone else know that. Keep up that front.

Take into account that life is a marathon, and not a sprint. Just because something doesn’t happen today, or doesn’t happen tomorrow, doesn’t mean it won’t eventually happen as long as you stick to your goals and stay consistent. Setbacks and losses are simply life’s way to test you and make sure that you truly want and deserve the things that you say you do.

Where the average person fails is not having a clear purpose in life, and not having specific goals or one specific goal they are trying to accomplish. Without this the average guy is just floating around in life, allowing the random winds of life to push him around and bully him all throughout his lifetime. They never take control of their lives, never take responsibility nor accountability, and thereby they end up in a situation where they have to accept whatever life presents them as opposed to being able to dictate how they want their lives to go.

Don’t spread yourself too thin. Having 20 goals at 1 time is pretty much a guarantee that you aren’t going to accomplish any of them. You really need to focus on 1 task at a time and attack it with the intensity of a pack of wolves. You’ll get much further along doing this than you would be dividing you energy and attention into many small bits. Concentrate all of your forces on accomplishing 1 goal, just get that done, and then move on to the next thing.

How much different, how much better, could your life become if you stopped looking for shortcuts? Or if you stopped being so tied to your comfort zone? What if you stopped looking for the get rich quick or get success in a week schemes?? What if you stopped wanting everything to be easy and instead embraced the struggle?? What if you took pride in being able to overcome the tough circumstances? What if you no longer wanted to chase cheap dopamine hits and instead chose to build up your mental fortitude in order to chase real long term goals? Don’t wish for things in your life to get easier; instead, EMBRACE the challenges and put yourself in position to step up and improve and become great!

The longer term your perspective, the better position you’ll be able to put yourself in. You have to understand that life has ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and you don’t want to get caught up in every little downturn that you experience. You also don’t want to get too up after every good thing that happens in your life. Stay even keel.

Right now is the easiest time in the history of the world to become successful, to become rich, to become whatever it is that you want to become. The main thing, and usually the only thing, holding most people back from becoming whatever they want to become, is simply their mindset.

You’ll waste your whole life THINKING about what to do, overthinking possible scenarios that are never going to even get close to happening because you’re too scared to take the actual first step necessary and make a decision. Stop the paralysis by analysis and train yourself to focus intently and completely on whatever it is that you need to do. Let go of the distractions and extracurricular activities, and put all of your energy and resources into whatever your main goal is. So stop the thinking and get right to the action. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO DO. So why keep your brain gnawing about it?? Put your thoughts into practice, because this world only rewards results, and ACTIONS are what produce results. Trust yourself to make your own decisions. Believe in your own instincts.
