Seven Habits of TRYING to be Successful

-I wrote this when I was 23, (Im 32 now). Its good advice

1. Waking up stupid early
If you want anything in life to happen, you have to make something move, and that means getting that started as soon as possible...
If you want to maximize your quantitative experience, then start your day early. If you want waste time, then wake up whenever you like

But don’t be surprised when you get beaten by someone who put in more time than you did—because it will happen.
2. Working way later than you should.
Rarely do people fail because they devote too much time to something

Aside from actively working to create opportunity, there will also always be instances where someone has the good fortune to simply be the person that showed up first...

The idea of Nature being peaceful and equal and loving is a modern deception

The animal world is one of Indiscriminate violence, prey animals are eaten alive asshole first, killing for fun is common, aging predators dye in starvation or being killed by their own kind...
The very act of going to a river to drink can end in death,

Weak and lame offspring are left to die and/or killer, mothers will eat their own children for food if need be

The world of man is kinder and gentler by orders of magnitude
The civilized world is built on creating boundaries that protect man against the wild

roofs, walls, Fences and fire pits

Structure and infrastructure
is protection and passage Against and through the environment

The teacher of Hippocrates was Herodicus. He is called the Father of Sports Medicine

He lived during the 5th century BC, he was the first physician known to have prescribed exercises as medicine

He commonly recommend 20 mile walks to his patients to restore robustness
He was a former athletic trainer, and he believed that ill health resulted from imbalance between not enough exercise, and too much eating.

To restore health, he recommended regular, daily training, and a strict diet free of rich and sweet foods
This was 2500 years ago, for perspective, and he understood obesity better than most doctors today. Your modern primary care doctor is likely to be a fat fuck with 38% bodyfat and a neck wattle as he is to be healthy.

Let that sink in.

GREAT MEN OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Mr. Jones is known for Nautilus Exercise Equipment

But he was an adventurer, hunter, explorer, film maker, Ive always found him an immensely interesting character

His motto for life was "younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles"...
1. Nautilus Exercise Equipment

Jones was like any other bro, he wanted to gain mass and was frustrated as his struggle to put on size

His invention of machines came from his own frustrations with conventional movements

Jones was DECADES ahead of his time on this
He invented over 20 different machines, which are still described as being the best EVER made (the originals that is)

Jones got his bodyweight up to 205 lbs at one point, and was only around 5'9 in height

The best business advice I ever got was from a bay area Meth dealer while I was in Jail

The guy was a genius and a psychopath, had been selling dope to techies and yuppies for decades and basically taught himself law to keep getting in & out of jail

Irreplaceable education
I dont suggest committing felonies and doing time

BUT...if you do, you'll learn more about business and (people) than you ever will reading fucking business books.

Stay safe and obey the law boys and girls
Your goal in creating a service or product is to fill a niche and make your what you are selling absolutely necessitous to the person

Make your dope the absolute best, and people will always be happy to pay, and they'll want more

Most Relevant Metrics for Health

-Resting Heart Rate (the lower the better generally)

-Bodycomposition (ratio of lean body mass to muscle)

-Bodyweight (contrary to fitness mythology, BMI Does matter. You are probably NOT the genetic outlier that contradicts this)
You improve your resting heart rate by doing...CARDIO.

Walking daily is an easy way to get Zone 1 activity in,

More rigorous Zone 2 work is done at a faster place

HIIT is something of a hack, but I firmly believe daily WALKING should be part of everyones lifestyle Image
When I say relevant, these are numbers Anyone can easily measure and manage themselves

Obviously you can get more in depth with bloodwork, but now you're getting tests ordered and need to know how to interpret
