Be Ruthless with Your Goals

Alright, let’s get real for a second! Your goals are like those fancy, limited-edition sneakers, they don’t wait around for anyone. You either chase them down or watch others step up while you’re stuck in the sidelines.

Being ruthless with your goals means you’re fiercely committed, unrelenting in your pursuit, no more playing small. It’s about waking up every day with that fire in your belly and a laser focus on what you want to achieve.

So ask yourself: What’s holding you back? Doubts? Fear of failure? Time to kick those excuses to the curb!

Let’s be bold. Write down your goals, then shrink that list until only the ones that make your heart race are left. Now go after them like your life depends on it because in a way, it does!

Mindset: Your Environment Is Killing You

Your environment is killing you and you’re not paying attention to it.

If the people around you aren’t pushing you to become the ultimate version of you, they’re shrinking you and causing you to stagnate

A shark in a fish pond will never grow to its full potential.

3 Quotes For The Week

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

Life Tip: Just Do Stuff

Most of your unhappiness comes from a lack of action.

Go to the gym
Go out
Do the thing you said you'll do
Move on
Learn a new skill
Try new things

Finish what you started

Philosophy

Message For the Week

The real work is the work you do on yourself.

Your goal might be external, but the work will always be internal.

To achieve anything, you have to change your identity to align with someone who's able to achieve that thing you so badly want.
