1. You are in control of your emotions
Society wants you to believe otherwise through prescribing you something.
2. How you feel depends on how you think
You react to the belief and judgement you hold about the external, not the external itself
Perspective is everything

3. Just because you feel an emotion, doesn't mean it's accurate
Many of our reactions are just reinforced beliefs that are done out of habit. Follow reason and rational judgement, not just your feelings
4. Incline bench @AJA_Cortes

5. Adversity is a gift
It is a tool that forces you to overcome the challenge at hand
In going through adversity, you gain the strength needed to overcome IT
Embrace it

6. Use people's name
Nothing is more pleasing to hear the sound of your own name

7. Just because it feels good doesn't mean you should pursue it. Just because it's painful doesn't mean you should avoid it.
8. All growth will require pain.
Stepping outside of your comfort zone will hurt, but that's where you need to be
Acknowledge and accept this fact

9. Being charismatic and influential will take you further than any technical skill ever will.
The people who rise to power are the ones who level up their people skills, because they are able to connect, build and network with anyone

12. To become interesting, first become interested
People make the mistake by assuming the former means convincing others how cool they are.
WRONG, this is taking value from the interaction
Provide value by LISTENING, and by becoming interested in them

13. Listen to understand, not to respond.
Too many people are caught up in their thoughts looking for a response to what they currently hear
Because of this, they miss key details
Your focus should be on their words, not on your reply

14. She's not going to start the convo with you bro (For the most part). Take initiative, be bold and approach her like a man.
You will be scared, do it anyway
15. Don't let how you feel dictate what you do
On the other side of your fear is your freedom
(Apply this to #14)

16. If you argue for your limitations, you will always get them
17. Wherever you direct your focus, that's what you determine to be the most important
If your focus is directed on meaningless BS, that's what will be important and you will get it

19. You have control over Two things:
1. Your beliefs

20. Acceptance isn't resignation
Just because you accept something, doesn't mean you can't work to change it
Acceptance is simply realizing in THIS very moment, this is what it is. Now, you can move forward and come up with a new plan of action.
Move WITH what is

21. You are going to die.
It could be today, tomorrow, or 40 years from now, but the day in which your ultimate dissolution will commence will happen
STOP MESSING AROUND
Make moves TODAY
Take action TODAY
Even if it's writing 200 words, or running one mile, just do it
