Your phone is your biggest enemy. It’s especially dangerous because it seems innocuous. But… It is causing addiction. You’re missing out on precious moments. It is lowering your satisfaction for living life. It is allowing you to hide from your progress. It is zapping your energy. It’s making you tired. It makes you feel envy and jealousy. It is destroying your ability to focus. It’s fueling hatred. Your relationships are a fraction of what they could be. Your phone is your crutch. It’s diminishing your true ability. And yet you cling to it. Why? Because you don’t see your true potential. What’s the answer? Sever your dependency upon it. Use it for only practical purposes. It’s going to be painful at first. You’ll see a side of yourself that you wish you weren’t seeing. It will be your greatest test. But on the other side… You’ll find peace. Life will be exciting again. You’ll be more patient. Focus will return. Chemicals in your brain will normalize. Relationships will strengthen. The happiness you haven’t felt in a long time will return. You will start living again. Do it today.

Canceled three subscriptions I forgot I was still paying. Not for the fifty dollars. I tell my kids to protect their hard earned money, so I need to do the same. That felt rewarding.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago: “Be satisfied with even the smallest progress.”

60 year old parents with $5,000,000+ should not be watching their 30 year old kids struggle to afford housing.

Lust of any kind never satisfies. In fact, worse, it leaves you hollow searching for more.
1- the corp drinking lifestyle is real and bad 2- both sexes do this. men also do the same thing and blow up their marriages and families. 3- trust me, no amount of alcohol, “prestige”, or casual sex will be worth it when you live like this

When I label something as “too expensive”… It has nothing to do with the actual price. For me it is strictly about the opportunity cost. It’s a different way of thinking about money.

If you’re a man… Don’t listen to the crowd. Don’t let them tell you what success should look like. Don’t get distracted by the fancy things. Don’t fall for the impulses you see around you. Avoid the lust of your heart. Instead… Step away from the noise. Focus on building who you are. This is what you can control. This is what will have the most impact. Movement and momentum should be your daily focus. It only takes a little progress every day to have a huge long-term impact. Don’t get impatient. Focus on compounding growth every day! If you do this… Everything else will fall in place. Wealth Strong Relationships Health Spiritually Emotional Control Happiness What you are looking for will be found in building who you are. There are no shortcuts.

This quote sums up the progress I’ve seen over the last year in my own life. “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” -Rumi Helped me be a better father, husband, and leader in my business. Be the change that you want to see around you. It starts with you and who you build yourself into. Powerful!

If you fail… Congrats! You’re ahead of everybody who didn’t dare to start. Learn and build from every failure.

I’m in love with this sentence: “Consistency looks like nothing is happening, until everything changes.”

Satan is great at plotting and scheming. But, remember, God is the Master Planner. The absolute Architect of our lives. And He will not be outdone - ever! Trust Him.

If you’re a man…. Here’s why you must conquer lust: Lust is the root of captivity. It enslaves in a way few things can. Lust is not just sexual - even though that’s arguably the most destructive. It’s also: Lust for power Lust for greed Lust for indulgence Lust is the desire for more! Lust is especially dangerous because it never satisfies. Not only can you never quench its desire… But it causes you to overindulge. You always want more never to be satisfied. It’s a trap. Lust leads to enslavement. But… Conquering your lust leads to Freedom. Overcoming lust is the truest form of discipline. It conquers what feels right for what you know to actually be right. If you want to be a more powerful man, start with conquering lust. Do it now. The other side is more: Confidence Hope And, Freedom! You owe it to yourself. Go be the best version of yourself. Hit that follow button, more to come.
