There is no courage without fear. The way you counter fear is through preparation. Preparation gives confidence. And confidence is knowing you have what you need to succeed.

Giving up is easy. Whats hard is knowing I didn’t get anything from yesterday but I’m going to go harder today. To get up everyday and give 100% and be in the same position but mentally know you are trying and trying and trying.

My only competition is who I was yesterday and the world will fear who I am tomorrow

A man is great not because he hasn’t failed but because he hasn’t let failure stop him

You don’t become the greatest doing what everyone does

What do you hate about yourself and what are you doing to fix it. Don’t waste energy on self attack when it can be used for self improvement

Same emotion different target. “I refuse to be pathetic vs I am pathetic. Anger at others success is energy you can use to defeat your own mediocrity.

be the man that someone can look up to

The mindset shift of being the fun guy to be around vs the guy who will ace this exam

You don’t need more confidence. You need more evidence. Confidence is built from repetition, not affirmation. Prove yourself to yourself enough times and arrogance will look like humility because you’ve earned what others only pretend to possess.

You become what you believe

There is zero room in your mind for indecisiveness. Either do the thing or forget about it entirely. Aggressively eradicate open loops

Maybe your path is harder because your calling is higher

You shouldn’t worry about criticism from someone you would never ask advice from

Don’t be so afraid of moving forward that you don’t move at all

Visualize life in 30 years and then work backwards

Discipline is when your identity is so clear that you stop negotiating with your emotions

If you have a belief your brain will find evidence to believe it. Understand and weaponize knowingness

A ship is always safe at shore but that is not what it was built for
