Favorite Success Quote “The whole world is an illusion, however you must treat the illusion as if it is real.”~ Bahavad Ghita Key Points 1. Turn Your Anger into Fuel
Everybody is pissed at something. Some circumstance, political group or international event. Whether you are pissed at the government, the decline of masculinity, or simply the confusing times in which we find ourselves, everyone is pissed at something.
The key is to use this anger as motivation, as a driving force to achieve your goals. Do not allow your emotions to control you, but rather take control of your emotions and use them as fuel to bring about change.
Find what makes you angry and commit to changing it.
2. Live a Life You Feel is Worth Living
Too often we find ourselves living the life of someone else, a life that is not ours. We set so many goals based off of our parents, friends, or society’s aspirations for our lives without ever giving much thought to what it is we really want out of life.
Figure out what you have a passion for, what you want to change, and focus your efforts on it. Ignore everyone who tells you to be realistic and follow the traditional path.
Live a life that *you* are happy living and not that you are living for someone else.
3. Trust Your Inner Voice
As cliche as it may seem, there is real wisdom in the advice to trust your inner voice. It is often that child like intuition that directs us towards the path we need to be on.
Trust your gut and do what feels right. Ignore what society and your friends say, follow your instincts and you will create a life worth living.
4. You Need to Earn What You Want
We live in an age of entitlement, people believe that they deserve a free pass simply for existing in this world. If you want to live a life of purpose and excellence, you must realize that life owes you jack shit.
If you want anything in this world, you must earn it, fight for it, bleed for it. Nothing worth having will come for free, you must earn it.
5. Money is a Tool not a God
Our society has deified money. Giving it power over life and death and our freedom. Few people pause and reflect on what money truly is.
Money is neither good nor evil, it is merely a tool, a form of exchange between two individuals. You must realize that while money can grant you freedom, fitness, and more time to spend on relationships and hobbies, it can also become your master, crushing the joy out of your life as you abandon everything in pursuit of it.
Accept money for what it is and use it to create your ideal life.
