Broke folks stay broke trying to prove that they’re not broke.

Every day you take off

Your enemy puts in work

The gap is widening

Don't be surprised when you're overthrown

You know what’s better than waking up at 7 because you need to?

Waking up at 4:30 because you Chose to

We can’t control time

But we can Manage our own

Are you incapable of complex thought

Or are you afraid of the realization it might bring?

I know the answer, I just want you to hear the question.

The problem:

Your fear of hard work

Outweighs your passion for success

Comfort: The Silent Killer

Your body will live

But your passion dies

What's life without passion?

No topic of discussion is off limits

Ignoring something doesn't make it any better

Be that annoying friend

That’s always reminding others when they’re drifting off track

The Respect of Others will come

When you learn to Respect Yourself

Pain

After feeling Pain, you either:

Learn how to avoid it in the Future

Or you learn how to push through it

If you avoid it, do so through intelligence, not fear

If you push through it, do so to grow stronger, not out of ignorance

Pain should be an investment

How many pay checks will it take

Before you realize nobody is going to save your money for you?

Don’t act surprised when you’re 70 and still trying to make ends meet

Your favorite Steemit gurus have it all wrong.

There is no key to success.

But there are many doors to success.

Trial and Error until you find the door that suits you.

Labels

The good:
People find a social group
People feel accepted
People are motivated

The bad:
People Discriminate
People belittle
People become arrogant

I don’t care what group you identify with

But do it for progress

Not to create an ”Us vs. Them” mentality

Imagine:

What could happen

If you decided you wanted to do something

And you actually did it this time 🤔

As children, we were told to "put on our thinking caps"

My Assumption:

Some of you grew out of Yours

What You Know:

If you put $100 in a savings account

And it isn't earning interest

It's essentially decreasing in value due to inflation

What You Need to Learn:

If you reach a point in life

And You stop progressing

You're essentially getting worse due to progress of others

Competing with others:
You’re limited by their achievements

Competing with Yourself:
You’re limited by your imagination

Sometimes others achievements stimulate our imagination

Sometimes our imaginations stimulate others achievements

Find a balance of the two

I believe most people know when they are making dumb decisions in life

I just don’t understand why they act surprised by the aftermath

People aren't nearly as interested in who you used to be

As they are with who you are now

Be proud of your past, but don't let it cloud your future

I keep the same routine every morning

First: I say how thankful I am for being given another day to live

Next: I prove it by developing myself the rest of the day

This formula works well

I will forever say this phrase.

It not only needs to be heard.

It needs to be lived on a daily basis.

AVERAGE IS THE ENEMY!

Spread the word!

Practical experiment on mindset

A farmer tied a donkey to his small chair & left it there.

Although the donkey had the ability to move it...

No it wouldn't, alas it was at that spot all day

Like humans, we're only limited by our mind

Place your focus on nouns, and you'll Never be satisfied

Once you get it, you'll either:

Lose your Purpose
or
Want More

Focus on the Verbs

The intangible provides far more purpose

You'll be happier

Recognize that nobody does something out of the kindness of their heart

There's always a motive for them, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional

That's ok though, it's human nature

There are holes in your armor

Find them before someone else does

The more you try to conform to a specific social group

The less unique you become

Always trying to fit in deprives the world of who you actually are

Lies you’ve been trained to believe:

You Need a T.V.
You Need a couch
You Need a huge bed
You Need a fancy entertainment system
You Need a fancy car

You’re filling the empty spaces of your home

But you’re really trying to fill that empty space in Yourself

Before you start complaining about what others aren't doing for you

Evaluate what you are doing for yourself

You are your own responsibility

Anything else is extra

Consume more calories than you Burn

You become overweight/obese

Consume more money than you Earn

You become Poor

Consume more Netflix than you Learn

You become uneducated

Burn
Earn
Learn

Create the life you desire

Passive income is nice

But Never trust a man that's afraid of manual labor

Ask a Doctor what the leading cause of death is in the U.S.

They'll say Heart Disease

In Reality

It's a Lack of Discipline

Life gets difficult.

Person A: 'Oh no! Why me?'

Person B: 'Oh yea? Try me!'

"If Everybody's Crazy, You're the one that's insane" - Jay-Z

For his entire life

Every word that a human has spoken

Every conversation he has ever had

Every conflict he has ever been a part of

Has been with his own Mind.

Money:

If you keep collecting it in an account

But never check on it

You’ll never be able to invest it

Knowledge:

If you keep collecting it

But never reflect on what you’ve learned

You’ll never know how to apply it

Conclusion:

Once you have it

What will you do with it?

Knowing When to Stop

Is not the same as Quitting

Know the Difference

Don't confuse the two

In one case

You recognize that proceeding in a direction is no longer beneficial
Therefore, it's time to redirect that energy

In the other case

You have decided it's too difficult to continue in a direction
And cease that potential energy alltogether

You've wasted good energy
