You have great goals. I know you do. We all have.
But in this world of relative safety and maximal comfort, it’s very easy to get distracted by day-to-day life.
You have a job, maybe a family, and bills to pay. At the end of an already long day, it is hard to stay motivated to push even further. To grow that side business, to learn a new language or a new skill.

Hustling has a bad reputation, but it shouldn’t
Right now we see a massive increase in content that tells you you don’t have to hustle or try hard when it comes to reaching your goals.

And trust me, when you look at yourself in the mirror while giving everything you have, it feels great. You get this sense of purpose that is hard to replicate when settling into a life you are okay with, but not proud of.
One of the best books that explain this greatly is “Can’t hurt me” by David Goggins. This guy was not afraid to go through moments that really sucked, as long as it was necessary to get to where he wanted to go.
There aren’t that many things that you cannot do
