My favorite Chinese proverb is everything must be hard before it can be easy. I think it's amazing what you can endure when you have no choice. Because at the end of the day, life is hard, but believing it should be easy makes it even harder. See, I've come to believe that the secret to success is just not giving up. That life is constantly testing you. That there are going to be days where you don't do the reps. there are going to be weeks where you don't do the reps. There might even be months that you don't do the reps.

That's okay. And the reps are the boring, tedious actions that you take every day. And that's how you achieve a goal. What defines your success is not the days where you do it. I actually think it's the days where you come back after you didn't do it. So the day that was really hard at work or the week that you were really sick and you couldn't do the reps every day, the small tedious stuff, You couldn't get out for your walk.

You couldn't sit down and write. It's the day that you return. That defines success because it means you didn't quit. Like if it is day 37, you have not eaten the way you said you would. You have spent a ridiculous amount of money even though your goal is to get out of debt. And you see that little note where you wrote down your goal. It's okay. It's still there.

It's the days where you come back after you didn't do it. That defines success. How do you build trust with someone? You prove time in time again that when you say you're going to do something, you do it. And what makes you think building trust with yourself is any different? Because if you're the kind of person that fears your future self, the solution is right in front of you. Spend months and years building the evidence that when you say you're going to do something you follow through, it is not complicated. It's just difficult.

If you constantly flake on your own expectations, it's no wonder your relationship with you is nothing but uncertainty. But when you can look back on undeniable proof that you are the person you claim to be, counting on yourself is not so difficult. One of the key things and attracting the things we want into our life is to be able to feel as if we have them before we possess them. What we really want in our life are real dreams, our real ambitions, are feelings. They're not things. One of the things that happens when we feel like we possess something, we begin to act in accordance with that feeling. And as a consequence of that action, those things begin to chase you. So it's not some manifestation thing. When we feel a certain way, we act a certain way. And when we don't, we don't. Spend a little bit more time on giving yourself

the gift or doing the work, frankly, of what would it feel like and beginning to feel as if you possess the goal. And I also just think the gift of giving yourself the emotions, you want will create more health in your body more vitality more energy more optimism more belief more confidence feel it this week and then you'll possess it odds against there being another person like you this are more than 50 billion to one in the entire history of humanity there will never be two people like you never be two people with the same face there would be two people with the same even blood composition exactly never be two people with the same outlook the same talents abilities capacities never be two people just like you

And that every single person are born with the capacity to do something remarkable with their lives. And the starting point of personal greatness is when you usually say to yourself, what wonderful thing I'm likely to do with my life? Why am I here? I have this one life, this precious, precious life. And as you know, this life is not a rehearsal for something else. This is the real one. You say to yourself, what am I going to do with my life?

Why am I here? What are my unique talents and abilities? Look back into your life and ask yourself, what is it that you've done in the past that you most enjoy? What is it that you've done in the past that comes easy to you, but which may be difficult to others? What are the things that are indicators that this is where you should be focusing all your talents and abilities? Whatever it is, find it, and then commit yourself to becoming excellent at it. It says the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. You will feel a million miles away from your dreams, and then you'll blink, and suddenly, you'll be living them. I just want you to think for a second. Like, regardless of any struggles that you're facing right now, just think about how good it feels once you actually pull this off.

Just think about that. Money's no longer an issue. You're doing something every day that is fulfilling. You're surrounded by people that you love. You're able to travel and do the things that you want to do when you want to do them. You are no longer being controlled by external things. You decide how you want to live your life. You live on your own terms.

And you live a life full of fulfillment and purpose and love. All the things that you long for right now. Let me tell you something. That day is in your future. And it's not as far as you might think. You're almost there, my friend. I promise you. All you have to do is continue to show up.

Don't be ashamed of your eyes. effort. Midwits hate earnestness and sincere conviction because they can't stand being reminded of the thing they're capable of but resist. Actually trying? People will try to put the same limitations on you that they put on themselves. Don't mistake their insecurities for your ceiling. Regret. It's a word that carries weight, doesn't it? A word that feels like a chain around your ankles, dragging you back to moments you. you wish you could erase. It whispers in your ear at night.

You should have done better. You could have tried harder. Why didn't you take that chance? The first step to turning regret and to resolve is to stop running from it. Stop avoiding it. Stop numbing it. Stop pretending it doesn't exist. Face it.

Look at it head on and say, yes, I made mistakes. Yes, I missed opportunities. Yes, I wish I'd done things differently. Owning your regret doesn't mean wallowing in it. It doesn't mean beating yourself up or living in the past. It means taking responsibility for it, acknowledging what happened without letting it control you.

Because here's the truth. Every regret holds a lesson. Every missed opportunity, every mistake, every failure is trying to teach you something. but you have to be willing to learn. Ask yourself, why do I regret this? What would I do differently if I had the chance? What does this regret reveal about what I value, about who I want to be?

The answers won't always be comfortable. They might force you to confront parts of yourself you'd rather ignore. But those answers are the key to growth. They're the blueprint for the person you're becoming. Regret without reflection is wasted pain. Don't waste it. Once you've learned the lesson, it's time to act. regret is a fire

if you let it burn out of control it'll consume you but if you harness it if you direct it it can be the fuel that drives you to change let your regret remind you of what's at stake let it push you to take the chances

you were too scared to take before this might be the hardest part forgiving yourself because regret often comes with guilt with shame with the way of feeling like you've let yourself or someone else down. But carrying that guilt doesn't serve you. It doesn't fix the past. It doesn't make

you stronger. Forgiving yourself doesn't mean excusing what you did. It means acknowledging that you're human, that you're imperfect and that you're trying. Forgive yourself not because you're letting yourself off the hook, but because you deserve. the chance to move forward without the weight of shame, holding you back. Don't stress in the face of adversity. Make adversity something you desire for an opportunity to grow. You have to get used to being alone because there are seasons where you'll basically transition from one group of friends into another.

And it's not even a group of, you'll usually transition from a group of friends into no friends. And then you'll find one or two people who are at a new level. And then sometimes those people introduce you to some of their friends. And if you keep walking and you keep walking and you keep, keep outpacing, then that group will then start retiring past you and then maybe one person stays with you. Maybe no one does and you'll have another lonely period. I'm saying this because I used to think that there was something wrong with me when in reality I just didn't understand what the nature of being exceptional meant. To be exceptional means that you are the exception.

It means that you are not normal. And so it's normal for normal people to find you abnormal if you do things that are not normal. Resilience is our ability to bounce back. I mean, in the simplest definition, resiliency is our ability to bounce back. But really what it means also is it's our ability not to get pushed that far, not to have to bounce that far back, because we've built our resilience to a place where when life happens and life's happening, life is going to keep coming. You've either gone through something, you're going through something, or you will go through something. life's going to keep coming. Our resiliency or our ability to take those things on

is a muscle. And it's a muscle that we can work on to allow us to take those things on as they're coming at us. The more we work on it, the better we get at. In fact, the more we grow through, not go through, but grow through in our lives, the better that resilience muscle gets. So when these things are coming at us,

instead of feeling like the victim, we want to embrace them. Because they're growing our ability to take things on in the future. And as I grow my ability to take things on, I can start to take them on for the people around me. I can show them how to go through these things and actually grow through these things.

Resilience is an important part of who we are. When we build it, we become better, better able to handle the things that are coming at us and continue to make the world go around. They're small gains. That's it. And what separates people who achieve their goals from people who do not is simple. People who achieve their goals understand the power of showing up every day and just doing the boring, tedious stuff.

That's where greatness is made. It's in the things that aren't fun. It's in the stuff that nobody wants to do. That's the thing most people don't talk about. Goals are boring. All those people you admire that have what you want, you know what they're doing? They're doing the reps. And if you've ever looked at somebody who becomes an overnight sensation, I want you to look at their actual story.

Because they were doing the reps in the dark for a decade while nobody was paying attention. There is no shortcut here, period. One day, when today, then you wake up tomorrow and you do the same thing. And then you wake up on Wednesday and you do the same thing. Then you wake up on Thursday and you do the same thing. And guess what happens then? You create a winning streak. And when you do this long enough, you're forming new habits.

And after a while, winning the day is not hard. It's easy. It becomes automatic. And when you get to the point where you're winning every day and it's automatic, guess what happens? Winning becomes who the fuck you are. And when winning becomes who the fuck you are, guess what you become. Become a winner.
