Over the course of the past couple of years in self-development, I’ve come down the these conclusions:

Stop looking. Stop looking for answers when you already have them.
You’ll never find a magic key to happiness as long as you’re looking for it, there’s no shortcut.
You know exactly how you want to live your life, and you know the steps to get there, there’s no shortcut.

If you’re like most people, the idea of facing the unvarnished truth makes you anxious. To get over that, you need to understand intellectually why untruths are scarier than truths and then, through practice, get accustomed to living with them.

Cameroon is six hours ahead of New York but it does not make New York slow.

You wake up. The hour does not matter to you anymore, because you have nowhere to be, and nothing to do. This is the curse of man, you think to yourself, as you do every morning. Waking up. Consciousness. Death would be preferable, if only you had the courage to seek it out.
Start one small habit, so small and insignificant you won’t even mention it. Like sitting with a correct posture. Begin it now and just gently remind yourself about it every morning. That’s it. This is how serious self-improvement begins.
Those days. Those days when I’m tired or worn out or just basically sick of the grind…well what do I do on those days? I go anyways. I get it done. Even if I’m just going through the motions. I go through the motions. I don’t really want to work out. I work out. I really don’t want a hammer on a project. I hammer on the project. I don’t really want to get up and get out of bed, yeah, I get up and get out of bed.

Women want to be desired as much as we desire them.
A woman loves knowing that a man wants her. That she’s so irresistible you want to flirt and touch her. That you will take her and give her intense, mind-blowing pleasure. I’ve said it before: women think about sex (a lot), too.
When you hang around girls that you’re attracted to and hide your romantic intentions, you’re admitting those feelings are wrong — that having, normal sexual thoughts are a bad thing. Guys, you’ve got to stop putting women on a pedestal. They’re just like you and they want the same things.
No buts about it: It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. That saying holds true in business. No matter what your industry or function is, your success depends greatly on how you communicate. One simple tip I picked up years ago and have used both in sales and management is substituting the word but with the word and. Every time I hear a sentence that has a “but” in the middle I cringe – knowing that bad news is coming or the person is discounting my idea. Think about how you react when you hear it and try to listen to yourself when you say it. It’s simply a negative sounding conjunction.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF?
I’m sure you think so, but just because you believe something doesn’t make it true. Denial is the ultimate comfort zone. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. In every town, in every country, all over the world, millions roam the streets, dead-eyed as zombies, addicted to comfort, embracing a victim’s mentality and unaware of their true potential. I know this because I meet and hear from them all the time, and because just like you, I used to be one of them.
I had a damn good excuse too.
