The modern world is full of lies.

And the strongest lie among them is saying to yourself “I’ve got time”.

No.

You don’t have time.

Your parents are growing older. Your body clock is changing. Your friends are moving on.

You can’t fantasize about a life that isn’t real.

The longer you say “I can do it even if I wanted to” - the longer you will stay mediocre.

Mediocrity is a disease. And it’s painful.

• Your mind bullies you.

• Your family disdains you.

• Your energy plummets.

• Your jealousy gets out of control.

Everyone has the desire to become something. But very few put in the work.

Why is that?

The answer is pretty simple.

Fear and abandonment.

• It’s easier to imagine what life could’ve been if you never committed.

• It’s easier to say “If I wanted to I could’ve done it too”.

• It’s easier to make excuses than to commit.

Because once you commit and go all in - you can’t make excuses anymore.

And that’s fear.

People fear judgement. People fear criticisms. People fear failing.

Because fear is brutal. It’s honest and unforgiving. It doesn’t care about your opinions and feelings. It doesn’t care about your life. It doesn’t care if you’ve already hit rock bottom.

Failure is brutal and that’s why many people avoid it like the plague.

Failure has consequences.

You can become broke, dead and lifeless.

• If you’re an entrepreneur and your business fails - you lose money.

• If you’re an athlete and you executed your move in the wrong way - you can die accidentally.

• If you’re an artist but were too afraid to pursue your dreams - you lose the will to live.

Most people will never realize this. And that’s tragic. Because most people live in lies.

The only way for you to truly actualize your potential is to kill the lies and actualize truth.

Being around losers is a surefire way to stay as a loser

I’ve got friends who have big dreams yet when one of them starts working towards it - they either criticize them for even trying.

People love to imagine what life could be like. But hate putting in effort and work for it.

Because as humans - we want easy things. We are wired to seek comfort and avoid hardships. That’s why few succeed. Few ever try to reprogram their mind for success.

What I’m saying is not some voodoo or wishy washy knowledge. I’m talking about those who brings results and those who don’t.

I’ve had plenty of friends who always told people what they’re going to achieve and none of them had results to brag about it.

And every time I’d achieve something significant many of them would get jealous.

And that’s what I want to talk in this part.

I used to have a group of friends who would diss each other personally. At that time I thought this was normal among young men. I thought this must be how men bond.

But as I grow older now I realized how wrong I was. That friend group was nothing but poison.

Many of the friends I had in that social group would pick on each others insecurity - amplify it by teasing them everyday about it and you could see them being happy.

If you are around such friends - I tell you now: LEAVE.

Just disappear quietly. Stop responding to their texts. Stop hanging out with them. Don’t reply even if they insult you in their group chat.

Many people do this for fun. They aren’t evil but their impact is devious.

Your self-esteem gets worse. You start to believe their words more than yours. And it leads to a vicious cycle of self-hate.

Be around high quality people. Your relationships impact your life tremendously.

A lot of people are only winging life and don’t really have any direction they want to go and walk on.

Being friends with people who know what they’re doing is motivating for the ambitious and painful for the lazy.

You will die one day

Before you die, live a fulfilling life.

Live a life that you will smile on your deathbed.

Don’t live a life that you will have full of regrets.

You get one trip and it’s not worth spending it on things that makes life miserable.

We live life as if death won’t come and get us. It will. And those who live great lives are aware of this truth.

Those who live aimlessly think they’ll live forever. You can’t.

Time is a resource that you can never get back.

Your parents will get older. Your body will get weaker. Your opportunities will close as you age.

The earlier you start about achieving something the better. Because time will pass anyways.

The longer you prolong- the longer you stray away from the life you could live.

Motivation is necessary.

Now I know many of you shit on motivation but what I want to tell you motivation is a fundamental part of your potential.

Your mind is incredibly creative. And among the many ideas you have - there’s a version of you that you’ve imagined becoming.

The person who’s charismatic, charming, confident. and competent.

And in order to achieve that persona - you need motivation. You need a reason to actualize that imagination into reality.

Before you say this is bullsh*t look at yourself in the mirror. If you don’t like what you’re seeing keep reading.

Because I’ll tell you exactly what matters in life and how you can avoid useless things that have 0 value turnover.

The chapter where nothing happens

When no ones clapping, no one is around to support you - it’s easy to become demotivated and quit.

And that’s precisely what separates winners from losers.

Winners believe they can win. They don’t need the applause and claps. It’s a bonus.

They do it out of want and need. They believe in themselves because they know they can do it if they put in enough effort.

The chapter where nothing happens is brutal.

It’s that phase of life where everything seems to go wrong.

• Business fails

• Girlfriend leaves

• Getting fired from your job

You get angry. You blame your family. You become short sighted. You become irritable.

It’s the phase that either breaks or makes you.

And most people fail at this phase. Instead of pushing through and trying to break the barrier of what’s stopping them, they instead lose hope on life and blame GOD for what’s happening.

Before GOD can give you what you want - he will destroy the parts of yourselves that’s holding you back.

And that’s process isn’t pretty. It’s soul crushing to the point you question yourself if this is all worth it.

Every great man has gone through this phase. If you haven’t - you didn’t put in enough effort.

You didn’t have obsession about achieving your goals. Because if you did - you would’ve understood what I meant and would reminisce about the failures and lessons you’ve learned from those experiences.

You don’t want it bad enough.

You don’t want to win.

You just want to make excuses about how you can do it so when friends ask you - you can feel good about the fantasy you’ve created “if I wanted to I could’ve had”.

A lie that every mediocre people I know says.

If you dislike what I’m saying go unsubscribe below.

Obsession is the way

To meet your potential you must become a beast that’s hungry and lethal.

You must protect your ambitions because even people close to you will throw you insults.

You must not let it get to your head and do it anyways.

I know what I’m saying is motivational right now and not practical - but you must understand life is not always practical.

You need to rawdog life if you want to succeed. You cannot always analyze and overthink every decision.

You have to listen to your gut and instinct.

Before I started writing my newsletters - I was obsessed with Art. Everyday I practiced drawing. Everyday I learned in YouTube about how to improve my skills.

You need to become delusional about your self.

If you want to meet your potential - you got to obsesses about it.

If most guys could just obsess about their potential self like they obsessed about a girl they like - the world would become a much better place.

So many men are so retarded - thinking being with the girl they like will solve all their problems.

Life isn’t that easy boys.

Getting the girl is the easiest part. Keeping her is the hardest part. Not to mention the drama women create and how they drain your energy when you’re building an empire.

Obsess about your goals the way you obsess about girls.

If you can do that - you’re one step ahead.

Why winners win

The only thing I’ve always noticed about successful people is they’ve always believe they can solve problems they come across. No matter how hard and problematic it was - they always believe they can do it.

The delusional self-belief they have is admirable. Many men can’t even imagine themselves cold approaching a girl. Not to mention flirt with her.

The men you see in social media - being flawless about dating are part of the top 20% category.

Most men have never kissed a girl or even receive any affection from them.

And that’s because they think they can’t get any woman.

The same applies to you. If you believe you can’t do it - you will fail and not be able to do it.

The universe is energy. What you think attunes your mind and body to the real world.

If you think of yourself as a loser - you will adapt traits of being a loser.

If you think of yourself as a winner - you will start to find ways on how to become a winner.

Your mind is a tool. The way you use it differs on your thought.

If you feed your mind with negativity - you act and behave negatively.

This is a fundamental truth. You cannot override this function. The brain controls the body. And your thoughts control the brain.

If you don’t know what to do, start by saying no to everything that makes your life worse.

This goes to

• Porn

• Video games

• Junk food

• Thrash social circles

• Doom scrolling

• Etc.

I know you can’t just completely eradicate every single one of your vices.

But even then you need to put conscious effort about beating them.

And the way to overcome them is simple.

Let’s use the principle of deloading.

In body building there’s a progression called progressive overload.

You either add plates, a rep or lift heavier dumbells to increase muscle size and strength.

For example: Right now I can curl 20lbs dumbells for 9 reps straight. Now after 2 weeks I should be able to add 1 more rep as my muscles have grown stronger. So now I can curl 20lbs for 10 reps straight. And then after a month of two I should be strong enough to curl a 22-23lbs dumbell.

In short progressive overload happens by gradually increasing intensity, frequency and volume to your specific workouts.

Now we will apply this principle to your bad habits but backwards.

Let’s use progressive deloading.

It’s simple: If you watch porn daily, next week aim to only watch porn for 6 days a week. Then after a month lower it to 4x a week. Then keep lowering it as time goes by and you only watch 1x a week.

If you’re an addict you’ll understand this is massive progress. You’ll get massive withdrawal pangs even though this is different. But the way your brain works on addictions is the same to every addictive substance.

I know watching porn itself is dangerous and bad. However if you never put any conscious effort to stopping watching porn - you will miserably end up being one of the people who were shackled in the neck by porn. You’ll become one of those losers defending how masturbation lowers your chances of prostate cancer.

This is the absolute low bar you can do if nothing has worked. If you no longer watch porn - good.

You don’t need this.

But for those who struggle with their addictions - use the deloading progression.

Lower it slowly. Then after a month lower it agan. Then after 3 months lower it again. And after 1-2 years of doing this you should be completely able to control your urges. And even if you break your streak - you’ve already built the willpower to do it again faster this time.

While you’re at it.

Go build good habits.

Doesn’t have to be extravagant.

Do daily walks, read daily, consume useful content etc..

Life gets better the more you put in conscious effort for your future self.

Good luck.

That’s all for this week.

See you next time
