I’m a 57 year old man, about three years away from whatever the grandmaster of all the wizards are. I’ve never hugged a woman before (beside female relatives), never dated anyone before, no one at all. And then obviously that means that I never had my first kiss and I’m still a virgin.

One tendency I’ve noticed about a lot of us who are into self-development is that we are incredibly hungry for information.
Some of us may have had neglectful parents or an upbringing that was very scarce, we may have not gotten the encouragement for self-betterment, we have no one around us who are striving for the best — so we want to consume and process all the information, methods, tips, and tricks we can.
I think that’s great because being deeply desirous to change yourself is better than being apathetic and lethargic.
Unfortunately, this over-consumption of information can become gluttony. Gluttony then leads to lethargy, which then leads to sloth and not doing anything with this information.
Self-discipline means that you do the things that you know are right or beneficial, even if they’re difficult. But what does that really mean? What does that actually look like?
People often associate self-discipline with diet and exercise, but it goes beyond that. Yes, staying active and eating clean in our current culture takes discipline, but being a self-disciplined person goes way beyond that.
Goal setting is crucial to long-term achievement but how any of us actually do it? Better yet, how many of us are in the practice of actually writing down goals and bringing them into reality?
According to researchers, on average only three people out of 100 are consistently in the habit of writing down goals.
Interestingly, it has also been indicated that people who write down their goals are 50% more likely to achieve them than those who don’t.
1. Don’t think about how long its going to take to get there. Just consistently do a bunch of small steps and make the daily routine steps better than the last time you did them even if its just hanging a broom neatly vs just throwing it in a closet. It is that one degree of change until you’ve suddenly come full circle.
In our modern world, we often find ourselves trapped in the pursuit of constant pleasure and enjoyment. The idea that we must relish every single second of our lives has become a prevailing mindset. However, this approach is not only unrealistic but also detrimental to our personal growth and fulfillment. Here’s why embracing discomfort and effort is essential to making progress and achieving our goals.

Storytelling has been a cherished art form for thousands of years. When done right, it can win an entire group over and have a girl hanging onto your every word. Here are some of the positive effects:
Paralympic athletes are extraordinary for a number of reasons. Just watching them train and compete at the highest level is one of the most motivating things you can experience. These exceptional human begins prove, without a doubt, that nothing is impossible if your truly believe it can be done.
1. If she REALLY likes u then she will make time to meet up with you. It is generally as simple as that. Once I figured that out, it was a lot easier to figure out if I was wasting my time or not.
When we get into heated arguments, it’s easy to start shouting. But research shows that shouting is actually an ineffective way to persuade someone.
