When it comes to learning how to believe in yourself, the answer isn’t straight forward. Why? Because you simultaneously believe in yourself and don’t believe in yourself at the same time. Maybe you’ve experienced this before. In your mind, right before you’re going to tackle a new project, goal, or life path, you have these […]

Hard work isn’t the key to success, at all. Do you have to work hard to be successful? Yes, but there are plenty of people in society who work hard, very hard, much harder than me, but they’re not getting the outcomes they want. It doesn’t seem fair, does it? On the one hand, it’s […]

I know what it feels like to have no motivation. I’m talking zero motivation. Here’s a list of some of the laziest things I’ve done: I used to watch Law and Order SVU marathons for 8 to 12 hours at a time, never leaving the house. I drank and/or smoked weed daily for at least […]

How many times have you tried to set a goal and failed? You can’t even count…the number is that high. You’ve failed to reach your goals so many times that, deep down, you feel eternally cursed to live the same life. You look at the future and everything is…the same. It scares you, but you […]

I get so irritated with myself sometimes. Why? Because I wonder why I don’t execute on every single thing I want to do in life one hundred percent of the time without fail. I wonder why I should ever care what people think about me at all, ever. I get irritated because I’m acutely aware […]

Let’s just call a spade a spade. Many people in our society are just soft. They don’t like working hard and want everything handed to them. And they have a litany of false excuses. The idea of there being no upward mobility is insane.  You have the internet. The great equalizer. The ultimate tool for […]

You have conversations with yourself all the time. Mostly bad ones. Mostly ones where you doubt yourself, beat yourself up and get caught in endless loops of anxiety.
