Life is very tricky.
If you're too naïve you'll find yourself confused, wrapped up in a fearful existence. We must be sure we learn how to think. We can't allow ourselves to be blind brainwashed fools.
We must be healthy skeptics.

Others expectations are not important...
This is very tough to overcome, at least the people pleaser I used to be thinks so.
It's nice to be liked.

Nobody knows what you should be doing more than you.
It can be difficult to bet on yourself.

Falling into complacency is too common.

Fill your days will healthy actions that delay gratification.
I LOVE to work in 45M sessions for 4-5 hours early in the day, this is my favorite hours to pump out focused work.
Identify when you work best.

Stop chasing things.
Ladies and wealth are my biggest temptations.
It's priceless when you realize these things will never change your life at the core, they can surely change your experience, but without a definite inner peace they don't matter.

Solution:
Build your inner peace gradually as you prepare your future self to be ready for the wealth and ladies.
Your external is a reflection of the internal.

The lack of personal questioning.
This is why you may struggle to make changes.
You need to be crystal clear on why you want to change and what your alternative to the desired shift is.
Use the alternative as fuel.

Not betting on self.
You can build your own dream life, or you can be a pawn for somebody's.
Listen to your gut feel, ask deep and positive questions, follow your truest interest and don't let people tell you what you should do.
Learn from many different great sources.

Invest your energy.
We all got 24HR days, yet some people are amazing while others are barely conscious.
How?
High conscious people understand the temporariness of reality.
They choose to make the most of every moment knowing this all ends.

Understand the impermanence...
You appreciate what you do because you know it doesn't last forever.
Transmute this fact into fuel.

First, most of us don't even know where to begin... What do we enjoy?

Jump into the unknown.
This is how you learn what you enjoy, I had no idea I would love psychology until I started learning about it in relation to my stock market education.
Same goes for speaking, labeled myself an introvert until I started the podcast.
