Fun fact: there’s $100,000,000 in your laptop you just need to find a way to get it out

if you only had one lesson to pass on to your son, what would it be?

Do you let your mind sabotage you in any way? Audit the software in your mind and optimize it for the life you want. Too many people allow their mind to control them

Everyone wants followers few want to do the necessary work. Everyone wants a six pack few want to do the necessary work. Everyone wants to be rich few want to do the necessary work. Everyone wants these things because they are hard to get. If they weren’t hard to get no one would want them. It’s supposed to be hard. That’s what makes it valuable in the first place

Why would you try to obtain new good habits before killing old bad habits? How can you fill a bucket with holes in it?

Consuming content is the new poverty Creating content is the new wealth

It’s weird how the world works. It’s weird how sticky energy is. Notice the people who complain most in life. They usually have the most problems and the worst luck. As opposed to the person who never complains, is grateful for every blessing and lesson. That guy doesn’t see too many bad days, or at least he doesn’t allow them to dictate his life like the complainer does.

What are the first things you look for when judging the character of a new person in your life ?

Stress will kill you or give you everything you want. Today my company closed its biggest deal while the same day making its largest investment. my stress levels are simply unmatched. While in deep thought, I had a moment of gratitude for the way I choose to deal with stress. Growing up I loved watching the last air bender. It had many important lessons which reflected life flawlessly. In this scene below, you can see Ang redirecting lighting. I think of the lighting as stress, it can destroy you or you can use it to destroy your enemy. but only if you can harness it and control it. Life is guaranteed to be stressful especially as a man who is serious about his future. I think a lot of my generation uses stress as a cop out, or an excuse to indulge in degeneracy, or waste their life. Stress is a good thing. I get excited when I get stressed. I know Im about to work the hardest & accomplish the most. Its quite literally one of life's biggest cheat codes. Learn to embrace, and control stress to your benefit. it can destroy you or build you.

How is no one talking about this guy? You may have seen him! Derrick Moore started out making Alaska content, sobriety content, and self-development content. That turned into the largest following in Alaska, and now he uses it to empower the youth. He's one of the most selfless people I've ever met. He's dedicated his life to helping kids find their purpose instead of turning to drugs, alcohol, or crime. He's traveled to over 30 remote Alaska villages, places most people will never see, to show kids that they matter, that they can believe in themselves, and that they're capable of doing hard things. Nobody else is doing this. Not like him. This is what real impact looks like. Give him the recognition he deserves. 🙏🏔️

Blue this, red that - voting won’t save you bro☹️ Although I believe everyone should partake in all political elections from municipal to presidential. It’s been quite entertaining to see some of my loser peers crawl out of their shell, and put effort into something that matters. ( Gen Z ) 🤨 It’s funny because they don’t even put a fraction of those efforts into improving their life currently. - unhealthy, bad habits, hate their job, always complaining, always partying, always wasting time, addicted, and never sacrificing their pleasure for their purpose. Then once every couple years they find some magic power to put endless efforts into promoting the name of someone that doesn’t give a fuck about them? 😂 Hours of content, hours of debate, for what? For living expenses to continue to rise? For jobs continue to disappear? For your life to stay the same? It’s no secret the gap between the wealth and the poor continues to grow every year. The wealthy manage this system. do they fatigue the system for the benefit of the people? or for the benefit of the people who manage the system? 👀 voting is important you should always participate in every single election. But you’re not gonna vote your way into the life you want. Being consistent with the following will do more for you than any politician ever could ⬇️ - brutal self accountability. -even if it’s not your fault, hyper self accountability will ensure you make the best move on the board & continue to grow in all areas of your weaknesses. - hit the gym. break your body to build your mind.

I understand this message isn’t for everyone. if you found any of this insightful- it really only matters if you apply yourself. 😋 No one‘s coming to save you. Put yourself and family first. 📈

I see so many people waste their potential. 🤦‍♂️ Good people with unique, relatable, values and goals. 📈 Maybe you have yet to meet them? Or… maybe.. you know them and they… Engage in activities that lower their value and reduce their chance of leveling up. Or maybe they don’t even try🥲 perhaps you and this person share similar goals… take action and build.. AN UNSTOPPABLE TEAM🔥 If you know someone who aligns with your values, goals & world views, GET THEM ON YOUR TEAM! Can you think of anyone successful who didn’t have a team? Me neither. 🥸 SHARE THIS with someone you want to see level up & join your team. Of course, don’t waste your time- growing your team and network is something to be worked on every day. It will get you that much closer to achieving your dreams. ✨
