You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.

Because motivation is fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding. Force yourself to follow through.
“I don’t want to ” shouldn’t even be a factor when considering whether or nor not to work out today. Eliminate your personal wants and just abide by a set of life rules that you set in stone for yourself, and follow through with those.

The only reason you haven’t started taking action yet is that you’re in analysis paralysis or afraid of what other people will think.
When you continue to analyze each possible outcome it stops you in your tracks. It’s normal to think things through till the end but when you stay in thinking mode you never take action. It’s okay to fail, you’ll get better anyway.

We are all born savages.
Our bodies adapt to so many different environments- when it is is injured, it finds a way to keep our major organs alive longer. When we are hot, it finds a way to cool us down as much as possible. When it is cold, it finds a way to keep our major organs functioning. I can give so many examples of how our bodies are made to go the distance. The problem is while our bodies are built to go the distance, our minds are not conditioned to do the same.
About 5 months ago I made the leap to try and start my own web development business, and since then I’ve found that my biggest obstacle to success is discipline and getting over this ‘Urge To Do Nothing’. It usually manifests in my brain when I try and ‘work’ from home.

Maybe you’ve had the experience recently of sitting down and trying to read a book, and finding your mind start to… wander. Maybe you’re having trouble focusing at work or school, sitting through movies, or even TV shows. There’s a little itch there. “This is cool, I guess… but what’s happening on the internet?”

If you are not taking care of your body, you cannot call yourself a strong grounded man. Period!
Your health is your most valuable asset and if you abuse it with drugs, alcohol, shitty foods, and bad sleep, then you are acting like a boy.
Boys believe that they are invincible. As such, they treat their bodies with contempt.
They don’t prioritize sleep. They overindulge in drugs and alcohol. They have unsafe sex. They never train. And they aren’t cognizant of what they are putting into their bodies.

One social habit that I used to be quite bad at was to truly listen when other people spoke. I sometimes zoned out. I got distracted or my attention started to wander before they were done talking.
Or I just waited for my turn to talk again (while thinking about what I should say next).
Not very helpful. So things had to change.
This week I’d like to share 10 simple tips that helped me – and still help me – to become a better listener.
I hope they will help you and your relationships too.

Why People Don’t Love Themselves, Mentally
Everything starts in the mind. If you don’t know how to utilize your mind, your thoughts, and develop it for self-love, it doesn’t matter what changes you try to make for yourself, what methods you try to implement into your life, you’ll fail. Your mindset is the starting point to any significant change in life.
The problem with a lot of mindsets, is they’re usually traumatized at a young age. People go through tough shit. They face unyielding forms of physical, mental, emotional, and psychological abuse. And going through that abuse, on a consistent basis shapes their personal beliefs of self, their mindset.
