Every morning you face a choice: Are you going to be a creator or a consumer today? I'd rather create my own story than to play a part in someone else's.

The number #1 reason why self confidence is hard: You need to keep every promise you make to yourself. You know everytime you didn't do what you said you would. And that's why you can't trust yourself anymore.

Life is hard. (and that's good) The alternative would be to have everything you want without doing anything. The more you think about it the less attractive it becomes.

I keep coming back to this: No matter where you're in life, it's your actions that created the situation you're in. If you don't like the situation, you need to change your actions. It's simple. But it's hard.

Why do we normalize hurting yourself? You're normal if you drink. You're normal if you eat a lot of sugar. You're normal if you stay up late and neglect sleep. I don't get it.

Why you need to control your emotions: Negative emotions affect our brain more than we know. It's like being lead by a stranger. You end up doing things the "normal" you would never do.

Be the living example of what you're talking about. People want to learn from people who have what they want. If you want to teach people to get fit - make sure you're in amazing shape.

How to test a Plan: Imagine you followed the plan for 1 year. But it turned out to be a disaster. Take 5-10min to write a brief history of the disaster. You'll find flaws within your plan. Fix them.

Did an amazing workout? - Keep it quiet. Did an amazing investment? - Keep it quiet. Got a good grade? - Keep it quiet. Celebrate within. Don't seek the approval of others.

You need Confidence to work on your dream. You build Confidence by working on you're dream. The thing you're searching lies in the work you're avoiding.

If someone doesn't keep their word once, it's okey. If they do it twice, you loose a bit of trust. If they do it over and over again, you don't trust them. Now, think about how often you break promises to yourself. No wonder you don't trust yourself. That's a problem.

A real friend: Someone who listens to you when you're down. They let you cry. They don't try to "fix" you. They don't tell you that they have it worse. They encourage you to fix the problem yourself.
