Express your passion. Coachella is where many artists live out their dreams. Performers have ascended to a new level of energy, while we normies, consuming back-to-back entertainment, struggle to clap for the artist we've paid thousands of dollars to see.

Which Goal Will I Be Closest To By December? Deadlift 4 Sets of: 4 Reps x 270 lbs or 6 Reps x 250 lbs Or 8 Reps x 240 lbs Or 10 Reps x 225 lbs Now: 6 Reps x 205 lbs I hit the gym 5 days a week but only deadlift on Mondays.

How do you wear your road to improvement? Are you being kind to yourself? Can you laugh in the face of your shortcomings?

What difficulty are you deliberately choosing, and what difficulty are you creating unnecessarily?

Understand reality well enough to choose your next action, then let action teach you more about reality.

Reality doesn't negotiate with your preferences. - Money still needs to be earned. - Bodies still need to be trained. - Relationships still need attention. - Businesses still need customers. - Deadlines still exist. - Your feelings still fluctuate. - Problems still appear. - Time still passes. If you misunderstand those forces, they don't stop operating just because you misunderstood them.

A Serious Conversation With Myself

Last Week vs This Week

Create options. Don't tell someone exactly what to do; offer another way to see the situation.

Learning should eventually become action. Consumption without application can create the illusion of progress.

Struggle isn't automatically progress - Activity isn't productivity. Hard work can be meaningful, but unnecessary work is still unnecessary.

When problems come up, you need to solve them, manage them, or let them live with you for a season.

Agency exists in imperfect circumstances. You can't control everything, but you can do more than you think you can.

Measurement can reveal reality. Feelings are useful, but they don't tell the whole story.

Fundamentals are enough. What works is often obvious, not secret.

Being perceived as valuable and creating value are wildly different. Don't forget to be useful.

Did you build your current circumstances that make you feel trapped? If you did, you should be the expert at breaking out as quickly as possible.
