Imagine your life as a powerful generator...
You get all your ducks in a row, feed them inputs, and then let go.
Life takes the inputs you chose to feed it and creates the (epic) outputs.
Wanna know the Issue with many of us though? We never give life the chance to create epic outputs. Why? Because the majority of our life is wasted just getting on and off the wagon!
On-and-off start-and-stop we're not consistent!
All too often, once things get good we just take our foot off the gas pedal and ride on cruise... until suddenly - you're right back where you started!
(I'm guilty AF too!). But the people who actually stay on the wagon?
They get to experience life in its most beautiful and rewarding form:
Sailing smooth down unchartered territory.
Feeling tremendously high on life.
Bursting with energy.
Fuming with excitement.
Turning whatever you touch into gold.
Opportunities and coincidences popping out of nowhere.
Great thrill and freedom coming your way.
Movie of your life unfolding in the most liberating and epic of ways.
People who once rejected you now seek YOU out.
And it doesn't even really feel like you're "doing" anything, anymore either. For things are just happening through you as you've changed the inputs of your life's generator
(no longer are your bad habits, tendencies, preferences clogging up the flow of life).
BUUUUUUUT... If you've NEVER gone a long duration of time (90+ days) where all your ducks were in a row (fitness, diet, sleep, deep work hours, routine, good habits such as waking up early, contemplation, nature walks) and bad habits/tendencies were curbed (i.e. drinking/drugs, porn, tuning into negative media, etc.) THEN you won't know what I'm talking about (you'll continue to think life is full of suffering, success is tough, riches and the good life is for others, but not for you).
But... if you HAVE gone a long stretch of time, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about and just how powerful (and magical) life becomes once you feed it the right inputs, consistently. It feels WAY better than anything else (strong sense of alignment) and it's WAY funner than any temporary hedonistic pleasure (have experienced most of em lol). Best of all? Things just continue to get better and better! There are no limits to just how good and epic our life can become.
Sounds obvious, right? Yes, but the reason I'm telling you all this is because I strongly believe that the (epic) adventure of your (real) life doesn't even begin UNTIL you get all your ducks in a row and then let go of your need to control every little detail like a perfectionist.
Some people here will try to convince you that you're a man now, and men can bench 500 pounds in one go! I'm here to tell you such people would try to convince you that if a baby can't sprint as soon as it's out the womb — if a baby has to crawl and walk before it runs... then that baby is a beta....
Well those people are perfectionist morons!
Until you realize life takes considerable consistency and often has potholes on the path to success, and you become willing to make the journey, then your life will be dull and it'll keep making you feel like shit, and weighing you down, and feeding you problem after problem, and stressing you out, and making you worry endlessly
All in an attempt to get you to wake up and get your shit together, so you can ride the flow of life with reckless abandon.
The smart ones heed the call. Ignorant, ignore it. But by ignoring it, you reach the end of the road (cemetery) not knowing just how epic your life could've been, just how many adventures in all the areas of life you could've had, just how much of your potential you could've realized. It's a sad reality, but a very common one.
Yet I don't want it for myself, or you. Or anyone. I've lived this reality. It sucks. Gives you nothing, but pain, suffering, and heartache. Yet it's the reality that all of society pushes on you. Instant gratification, taking the easy road, not sticking to the promises you make to yourself, rewarding yourself for progress made by doing BS that prevents greater/more epic progress.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Instead: Look at the state of your last 180 days and ask yourself:
Was I on the wagon or off the wagon?
If I was on, how long was I on for?
When I was on, how was I feeling?
When I was off, how was I feeling?
How much of my time did I waste just getting on/off the wagon?
Because the solution to your most pressing business, personal, and relationship problems usually lives inside these questions (not in courses, podcasts, books).
For the amateur wastes his entire life getting on/off the wagon. Whereas the pro gets on the wagon once. And never gets off. Leaving life free to do the rest. - Think back to a time when you were high on life, getting things done with ease, fuming with energy, making shit happen effortlessly (and enjoying it to the fullest). Could be in school, sports, or business. What habits did you have then? What ducks did you have in a row? What bad habits did you refrain from? What would your life have looked like if you had continued and kept that up for 60, 90, 180, 365, 720, 1000 days? SCURRRRY THOUGHT. For the potential of you is Infinite.
Set yourself a goal and fucking stick to it. Admit in the depths of your heart, mind, body, and soul that you desire what you desire and you will have it by any means.
So, please allow yourself the gift of witnessing your potential manifest. Day in. Day out. (Stop getting in your own way/blocking blessings - almost everything in societu is designed to get you off the wagon. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. So see it and make the vow to no longer fall for the BS for life is the most FUN when you're on the wagon!)
