Nothing is more powerful than self confidence to start multiplying your income by 2 by 3 by 5 by 10. It comes from self esteem. Doing the things you know you should do, and at the end of this day your self esteem is soaring and high. You've met the people you said you'd meet; You made the calls you said you would make; You did the things that you required of yourself to do... and at the end of the day you feel great about yourself. That's one of the greatest motivating factors for the future - self esteem - feeling good about yourself

If you lost and blame referees

If you lose the match and then whine, what you have done is sacrifice the higher order principle of constant improvement of your own skills. Because you should be analysing the loss and saying - the reason I lost insofar as it's relevant to this particular time and place is the insufficiencies I manifested that defeated me and I need to track those insufficiencies so that I can rectify them in the future. And if I am blaming it on you or the referees or the situation that I am not taking responsibility and I am not pushing myself forward

Could you be slightly better tomorrow than you're currently flawed self?

I'm a flawed person and I've got all my problems. Could I be as good as person X? - It's not the right question. The right question is - "could you be slightly better tomorrow than you're currently flawed self?" and the answer to that is - if you have enough humility to set the bar properly low then you could be better tomorrow than you are today.
What you also have to do is you have to say - well here's all my flows and insufficiencies and the best that someone that flawed and insufficient could do to improve and actually do it is this!

If you put yourself in a new situation, then genes code for new proteins and build new neural structures and new nervous system structures. Same thing happens to some degree when you work out - your muscles are responding to the load. Your nervous system does that too.
Imagine that there is a lot of potential you locked in your genetic code and then if you put yourself in a new situation then the situational stress unlocks those genes and then builds new parts of you. And so that's very cool because who knows how much there is locked inside of you

You have to work to take care of yourself and what you want in this moment but then there's you tomorrow, and there's you next week and there's you next month the next year, ten years from now and when you are old... So because you are self-conscious and because you are aware of the future you are actually a community unto yourself. And if you are selfish and impulse all that means is that you are serving the person you are right now in that impulsive way but not the person you are going to be. That's not a good ground for any sort of ethical behavior

How to write a good essay?

Write an essay so that you can think and you think so that you can live properly. Write carefully, make sure that every single bloody word is a word that you want to use and you make sure the phrases that you put the worlds in are as solid as they can be. And you make sure the sentences are well constructed and that they're organized into proper paragraphs and the paragraphs are sequenced and the content of the thing matters and you put your soul into it. And you know when you've done that because it's gripping when you write. It's meaningfully engaging

Why not lie all the time? Well, there is a bunch of reasons but one of them is that you can't trust yourself if you lie and there's going to be times in your life where you have no one to turn to except you and so if you've stuffed yourself full of lies then you're going to be in a crisis one day and you're gonna have to make a decision and you're gonna decide wrong and you're going to be in real trouble because you won't have the clarity of mind necessary to make the proper judgement. Because you filled your imagination and your perception with rubbish

The more you struggle to make it clear

If you struggle to make something clear for someone else, it helps to make it more clear for you. if one person listens and one person speaks there is the opportunity for transformation for both. The listener to be enlightened to see something he never saw before, but the speaker to be better educated on how to represent by struggling with the language. The more you struggle to make it clear the clearer it gets for you. The listener could be transformed by what he hears and the speaker could be transformed by the exercise of speaking, trying to make it clear

Wake up call

If you survive your first heart attack you may now live to be a very old person. Why is that? Well that first heart attack if you survived it is called a WAKE UP CALL. The doctor said - one more of these and you are a history. And you said - WOW. And you make it for the health food store. And you start reading every book you can find on good nutrition - how to avoid another one of these heart attacks and you start jogging and walking and doing all of the stuff and this total change of lifestyle could now save your life and cause you to live to be a very old person

Life is not a game, even a game is not a game. Because most of the time game is the beginning of a series of games.
Let's say that you're on a soccer team. Winning a championship and winning a game are not the same thing. If you want to win a game the best thing to do is to let your star player make all the moves. But if you want to win a championship maybe the best thing is for your star player to do everything he or she possibly can to develop all the other team members. That's a different strategy and the reason it's different is because it iterates across time

All he needs is one, he's got five

Pessimism - the deadly disease - always looking on the bad side, the problem side, the difficult side, checking all the reasons why it can't be done. Poor pessimist leads an ugly life. He doesn't try to figure out what's right, he tries to figure out what's wrong. He doesn't look for virtue, he looks for faults and when he finds them he's delighted - how ugly?!
This is the poor guy looks through the window, doesn't see the sunset, he sees the specs on the window.
And this poor guy says - "I've got five good reasons why it won't work". He is so dumb he doesn't know all he needs is one he's got five

Who you marry shapes your life!

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in life is who you marry, because that person will shape what your life looks like going forward. There has to be chemistry and attraction, but more importantly, you want someone kind, selfless, and easy to live with - someone who puts their own needs aside when needed, and supports you the same way you support them. You want a partner who is all-in, someone you can build a life with and have fun with at the same time. Also the most important component in life is faith. And if you have faith in your life, you must be equally yoked - because without that alignment, it will never work.

What are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference?

Starting tomorrow what are you going to do that'll make a change in your life's direction?
Good question: what are you going to do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference?
If you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference guess what? - it's going to be the same. And see that way you can guess what the next five years are going to be like - look at the last five!
Because the next five are going to be like the last five unless you major key tomorrow change it all, or change a little, or change something, or don't change,.. it's choice time you can do whatever you want.
But it's nice to know any day you wish you can change your whole life

Build your life!

Building a life is like building a house. You wouldn't start building a house until you had it finished. Wouldn't you look foolish starting to build a house if it wasn't finished first? What if you are laying bricks and somebody came by and said "what are you building here" and you said "I have no idea"? They would take you away to a safe place. So building a life is a lot more important than building a house and yet people treat it so carelessly and so casually about making plans for what they want their life to work out to be.. I am asking you not to be casual any more. Start designing the future, for yourself, for your family, for your business, for your future. Decide what you want

I don't know what to do

"I don't know what to do" - That's okay, nobody does. Go do something. Do the best thing that you can think of. Put the best plan you have into practice. It's not going to be perfect and it will change along the way but it will change partly because you become disciplined pursuing the path and as you become disciplined you become wiser and as you become wiser you become able to formulate better and better plans so you can start vaguely and confused and develop a plan that's not so great and you start to implement it and then you accrue incremental wisdom as you implement your flawed plan and that enables you to fix the plan and so that's part of that process of incremental self-improvement as well

Where is the meaning to be found?

Life is hard. It's tainted by malevolence and betrayal. That can make you bitter. You need a meaning to offset that. Where is the meaning to be found? Not in rights, not in impulsive pleasure but in responsibility. You take responsibility for yourself so you take care of yourself.
If you're good at it you have some excess left over to take care of your damn family.
If you're good at both of those then you have some excess left over to take care of your community. Those are heavy burdens. You pick up the burdens and you find that's meaningful.
The best way to pick up the burden is to continually improve yourself. And that's where the meaning is to be found. That meaning is in the continual self transcendence. That's letting your old self die and the new self be reborn
