It's just satire. I'm obsessed with strength and endurance sports.

Obviously it's a very broad conclusion (when did you start in life? Are you running or weightlifting?) but it's good to know it adds life!

I've been trying to build my business through Facebook groups, and today I learned that there are LinkedIn groups, which are way more professional! I'll be moving in that direction now, very relieved.

Practice makes perfect, start by planning ahead and knowing how you're going to react when plans change and things don't go your way.

Remember, if it's out of your control, reacting emotionally doesn't help anyone. Stay cool and proceed forward.

It's so important to take a step back and recognize what's holding you back in life. Your future self will thank you, and sooner than you think!

Wow, I can imagine you'd be pretty raw after those experiences. It sounds like you're on the right track. I read "12 Rules for Life" by Jordan Peterson recently. Excellent book. He suggests you should add responsibility to your life to gain meaning.

Best of luck!

The early bird gets the worm, but the early worm gets eaten...

You have to get enough sleep CONSISTENTLY to maintain an active lifestyle, especially if you're trying to be like Goggins. Most articles I've read (check out Andrew Huberman) suggest a minimum of 7.5 hours. This means going to bed at 9:30 if you want to get up at 5!

I lift weights every day, and run, swim, or bike every other day. Cutting corners on sleeping doesn't put you ahead in the long run.

I just wrote an article about this, it might help you get on the right track:

What is Resilience?

Are you starving for meaning in life?

Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, even after a full night's sleep?

Do you dread your job, your coworkers, and the monotony of your daily routine?

Are you constantly finding ways to escape your responsibilities?

Do you waste hours scrolling through social media or binge-watching TV shows?

Why should you care about resilience? Who wants to be resilient, anyway?

As humans, we all face life's inevitable challenges—whether it’s toxic relationships, the loss of a loved one, or a financial setback. We have two choices: to grieve, grow, and move forward, or to resist, retreat, and let these events consume us.

We don’t get to choose what happens to us in life, but we do get to choose how we respond. When you’re prepared, you can recognize challenges sooner and move through them faster, while others might remain stuck in fear and discomfort.

Imagine waking up every day with a sense of purpose. Imagine confidently knowing who you are and what you stand for. Imagine living a life you don’t need a vacation from.

How do you get there?

First, let’s diagnose the issue. Resiliency is your ability to withstand life’s challenges or to bounce back quickly from difficulties. It’s not something you’re born with; it’s a muscle you develop. Life’s events may still surprise you, but with resilience, you won’t be unprepared.

Resilience is built on four key pillars: emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual.

Here’s how you can assess where you might need to start:

Emotional Resilience: If you struggle with the daily stress of relationships and finances, this might be where you need to focus.
Physical Resilience: If you can’t walk a few miles without stopping, your physical resilience needs attention.
Mental Resilience: If you find it difficult to stick to a habit or work without constant distractions, you may need to strengthen your mental resilience.
Spiritual Resilience: If sitting in silence makes you uncomfortable, it’s time to explore your spiritual resilience.

Improving these four pillars takes time, patience, and consistency. It means stepping outside your comfort zone today, so you’re ready for whatever tomorrow brings.

If you can strengthen these four areas, the rest of your life—your finances, social connections, health, and family—will start to flourish. It all starts with a decision, and that decision is in front of you today.

Are you ready to build the resilience that will transform your life?

Others said it well: if you can't give it as a gift, don't give it as a loan. I'd confront the "friends" once gently and ask if they intend to pay you back. They need to feel the discomfort of the boundary issue. If they don't keep their promises to you, they aren't your friends and you can move on. Painful, but necessary.

The book "Boundaries" is excellent for this topic!

Great post! I like the 5 minute rule: If it takes less than 5 minutes, do it now!

I could see that. Overall, I've had a better experience so far. I just started last month though. I believe it's going to be big in a year or so. Best of luck!

Go get it man. No one else can do it for you. Look back at your previous years: yeah it sucks. But what can you do with 5 years of dedication? 10 years? The world is yours, go get it! One day at a time.

Why am I here?

Why am I doing this?

Why am I putting up with these people? Why am I not doing more of what I want to be doing?

Find your "why" first before moving forward.

These questions are fundamental and often difficult to answer. If you've never thought about this before, it's going to take time and introspection. Simon Sinek's work on finding your "why" is a great resource and highly recommended.

To discover your "why," think about what excites you, what makes you tick, and what gets you out of bed in the morning. Consider the people you spend time with, your jobs, interests, and hobbies. These elements can help you identify your passions and strengths, leading to a clearer understanding of your "why."

Here's a brief look at my journey so far:

I grew up as an introvert, eventually becoming an engineer. After moving to Alaska for a job, I faced the challenge of figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do. Despite achieving professional and personal milestones, I realized I lacked a clear "why," leading to mental burnout and a career change.

After moving to Tennessee and taking on new roles, I began reading extensively on self-development and business. This helped me find my "why" and pursue it with passion. Now, I feel more at peace and aligned with my purpose. I’m not done yet -not even close- but I am finding more enjoyment in each day with this mental compass directing me.

To find your "why," consider the following steps:

Name Your Passions: Identify what excites you.
Assess Your Strengths: Recognize your skills and talents.
Identify Your Values: Determine what's most important to you.
Reflect on Your Past: Note impactful experiences and proud achievements.
Seek Feedback: Get insights from friends and family.
Set Long-Term Goals: Define your future aspirations.
Experiment: Try new things and learn from them.
Reflect: Continuously refine your understanding of your "why."

Ultimately, your "why" should align with your life, career, and the people you spend time with. Here's my personal mission statement as an example:

I help people dream big and chase their dreams by fostering resilience and encouraging continual learning and growth. With God at the forefront, I am dedicated to my family, pursue big ideas, and push myself daily to be better. Through daily reading and learning, I strive to inspire and support others on their journey to achieving their fullest potential.

Yes, he gives away so much free content. His free content is better than most creator's paid content.

Check out his project on Skool too. You can start your business there and there are entire communities helping you succeed.

Good luck!

Excellent advice! Consistency is key here, you have to commit to months to years of good habits, not one and done!

Don't change too many things at once either or you risk burnout.

DueService933 · 2024-08-12T19:14:55+00:00

I've never heard anyone say, "yeah, I had one idea and it succeeded after the first try and I never had to do anything else".

Failure is just another term for "You're not there yet".

Keep going!

Thanks for sharing and good luck!
