There you have it.

I am not perfect. These are the thoughts that run through my head every single day.

However, trying to hide them away in a deep dark corner in my brain is not going to do any good, it will just stay there and subconsciously take over my life like it has been for years.

If you want to develop yourself in life you have to learn to be honest and open with yourself, even if it means coming across vulnerable sometimes (such as I am now).

When you learn to be truly honest with yourself, you can start embracing and understanding your self-limiting beliefs, and finding ways to overcome them.

Basically, we are nothing. We mean nothing. We have no significant impact on anything in the grand scheme if things.

Let’s face it, in 200 years no one is going to remember you. Eventually the human race is going to die out too, and life will go on.

Why are we here in the first place!? Why do we think? How are we thinking right now, what happened before the big bang? How on earth is life happening!?!? Who knows.

The point is this. You can do whatever you want with your life, because no one cares. Sure your parents may frown, but in 100 years no one will remember, or care. You have 100% control over how you want to live your life.

For some reason we are living and breathing and feel emotion. For some reason we have dreams and ambitions which we want to achieve, yet we don’t because we think we’ll be judged or will fail – but no one is going to care whether you had abs or not, got rejected by a girl, or failed trying to make a business when the human race doesn’t exist anymore… so you may as well give it a go anyway.

Make sure you live life to the fullest and do what you truly want to do internally. Do not let any external pressures dictate your life. Whenever you feel this pressure, just take a step back and think about how nothing really matters, so you may as well do what makes you happy.

However, motivation gives you a short-term spark for where you want to head, but it doesn’t give you the long-term willpower to apply it consistently, through good and bad times – this is why so many people will give up a diet as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong.

In my opinion, the key to success is discipline. This is the ability to consistently apply yourself even when you cannot be bothered and have no motivation to give you the willpower to do it.

So how do you develop discipline?

Discipline is built slowly and steadily – it is a habit.

Set yourself a small action which will help get you to your goal – this may be one set of pushups or eating an apple for example.

This goal should be so easy that it would be frankly embarrassing if you didn’t do – who can’t eat a goddamn apple a day!?

Now, this task should be achieved every single day no matter what. I don’t care if you have been out all day, are hungover, or got laid. I don’t care. Do it.

Every time you make a positive decision in a time of weakness you develop your character. It will stop making you a quitter and start making you a legend who achieves.

Slowly these patterns get wired into your brain so they don’t even take willpower anymore – I just write an article a day now. I just do it. Sometimes I want to, sometimes I don’t. Regardless I do it because I know that’s what I need to do to get to where my motivate self inspires me to be.

Motivation sets the direction you want to go. Your discipline walks the path.

Success is a habit – start rewiring your brain to be a legend, and not a little bitch.

NO ONE can make me believe otherwise. No single person in the world, not matter how much they mean to me, can ever tell me otherwise. I don’t care how disadvantaged I am, or that only people born into a rich family can do that, or that I’m black and it’s harder… I don’t care.

I don’t care if the probability is 0.00001% because I know that I am that 0.00001% – I know this because I have a unique mentality which others don’t have; the ability to see the bigger picture and appreciate the mental and physical effort to want to develop myself and persevere every single day, and not let any external factors affect me.

When you truly start to realize that we are not too different from each other you realize just how much you can achieve.

Think about it this way: Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Alan Sugar all pooped their pants when they were babies – just like us. They are humans. We are humans. They achieved. We can achieve.

The only difference is their ability to have a vision and blissfully ignore what other people think, and go out and relentlessly pursue it. I have this same belief, which is why I can send out this picture knowing that in the future I will be living a life which I truly want to live, and not the mediocre life which society wants or expects me to.

Expect greatness from yourself, and do not let anyone try and make you think otherwise.
