@OnatAksaray School only teaches you to follow rules and fit in a box. Nothing like a real world education unless you’re trying to be a doctor, school isn’t teaching you much.

@Codie_Sanchez Even if you’re consuming the “best” content, if you’re not creating then you’re not growing

@danmartell If you need something or someone else to tell you how you're feeling before you get out of bed then that's where you started off wrong

I lie to myself every morning.
I look in the mirror and tell myself I slept great when I didn't. That today is going to be one of the best days of my life when I have no reason to believe it.
It sounds delusional...
It's the most important habit I have.
Every business I've started was built on belief before it was built on anything else. Every relationship I've kept. Every comeback I've made. All of it began in my head, weeks or months before it showed up in my life.
A 2014 study at Colorado College put a number on this.
Researchers took 164 people. Hooked them up to fake EEG machines. Told half they got 28.7% REM sleep, above average. Told the other half 16.2%, below average. But the data was made up...
The machines weren't measuring anything.
Then they ran cognitive tests. Attention. Memory. Executive function.
The "above average" group destroyed the other group on every test.
How rested they actually felt that morning predicted nothing.
Their belief about how they slept changed their performance more than how they actually slept.
That's the whole game.
The story you tell yourself in the morning is the operating system everything else runs through.
And most people are letting their Apple Watch program it. Their Oura ring. Their bank account. Their last text from a difficult person.
You haven't even gotten out of bed and you've already given up the controls.
So when someone asks me how I'm doing, the answer is always the same... World class.
Not because everything is. Because everything is going to be.
The lie always catches up to the truth eventually.
I just make sure I tell myself the right one.
You should too.

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology. Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested. Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel. Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

@danmartell Make your five-year-old self proud. Then worry about everyone else.

@danmartell Build a system around your goals. Your motivation only goes so far when you don't know your next step.

@CoachDanGo Your alive. And you’ve got another chance to enjoy it.
There’s something to be in a good mood about.
English

@FITNESS3M_ It goes the same way when you give back into vices beyond moderation.
That “little slip” goes a long way when it’s not just once.
Get back on track and don’t let your one bad day ruin your progress.

When a man fixes his body something strange happens.
He starts sleeping better.
His mood stabilises.
His focus returns.
His patience with his kids improves.
His confidence in his work changes.
His relationship with his partner shifts.
His tolerance for nonsense shrinks.
His standards for everything quietly rise.
He didn't change his job.
Didn't change his relationships.
Didn't change his circumstances.
He just changed his body.
And the body changed everything else from the inside out.
This is why I talk about training, sleep, and nutrition like they matter beyond aesthetics.
Because they don't just build a better body.
They build a better man to live inside it.

@MLFootball Doesn’t matter how big or small you are.
Literally no excuse for anyone to not put a focus on their health.
If it seems difficult, good. Try it anyway.

🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨
Cincinnati #Bengals standout guard Dalton Risner ran a 5K RACE with his wife.
Risner is 6-foot-5 and 315 rounds.
Dalton ran three miles in just 26 minutes.
Offensive lineman are some of the best athletes in the entire world.

@DearS_o_n Exactly why I lift at 3am. No one but me and the thoughts I’ve been avoiding between sets.
No distractions.

@danmartell Therapy is just to see the next steps ahead of you and the future you on the other side of your situation.
Why pay someone else to talk about it when you can go out and build it yourself

@Codie_Sanchez The first problem is getting kids attention back off brain rot content then they’ll have more of a capacity to learn in the first place
