Mindfulness inspired me to create my own channel - to gently remind people to stay in the present. I started deeply looking into meditation as someone who struggles with a constantly wandering mind since early university days. Some days are easy but most days are incredibly hard to be present constantly, especially as a student. To actively try to be a mindful person. Days are not easy but its the littles steps consistently that count!

After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.

Alex Hormozi's insights on embracing challenges are spot on; it's through adversity that entrepreneurs can truly innovate. For instance, when faced with a tough market, the most successful entrepreneurs use 'constraint-based innovation' to turn limitations into unique selling points. Remember, it's not just about working hard, but also about working smart and finding creative solutions within your constraints.

You don't know what actually goes on in the lives of these "online personalities". Some can't give up being in relationships, frequent hangouts with friends, having family and kids, so they choose to instead give up being exceptional and successfull. Others can't give up being exceptional and not having tried what they really want to do, so they give up all the pleasures of the average person- going on parties, snacking, drinking, getting married, kids... Everything in life is a tradeoff, whether you do it consciously or not. There's only 24 hours in a day, so once you chose to use it for something, you are choosing to give up on the rest. The same goes for our attention, effort and resources. And well, we do have our own priorities so there's nothing wrong with choosing one over the other. But let's not pretend we don't know who made the harder choices. Yes, we all make sacrifices but those at the top are there for a reason. The results and the respect they get is proof of how much harder and bigger their sacrifices were. Because if it wasn't, we'd all be up there too.

I know it's really hard for a lot of people who have been suffering and struggling and hurting trying to better themselves and succeed and build a business or get shredded or get a degree or accomplish anything in life really, but the best thing that you can do is recognize that this is how it is. You're not uniquely being persecuted this is just normal difficulty when trying to build something or accomplish anything. Subjective experiences may vary but it just fundamentally doesn't matter. You may be crippled in some way and it may be particularly impossible for you to achieve a certain goal. In that case what you need is not encouragement but charity. If that is the case for you, then recognize your position and be grateful and humble that we live in a time of such incredible superabundance that those of us that can do support you. If that's not you, bitching about how tough it is for you or how jacked Alex is because he's on gear, it doesn't matter. If you want his physique then get on gear and hit the gym five times a week. If you can't afford it build the kind of business that would enable you to afford it. Oh guess what look at that you have some goals ahead of you now, and if you're starting from ground zero, it will likely take you years and it's going to suck really hard and you will be beaten down and beaten down again and again and again as you're attempting to reach your goal. Oh wow, look at that, we have come full circle, that's exactly what Alex and Chris are saying.

Nothing people describe as "hard" today would even pass as being remotely so just 100 years ago.

@user-zl1yq7qo1d Thats the damn truth. Nowadays people seem to think working out and eating healthy is somehow "hard". Or just doing your damn job or studying without whining about being offended every 5 minutes. In my yard we have these stonewalls that people built in early 1900's with their bare hands while clearing fields for crops to feed their family. Thats fxckin hard. Today people want a medal for not being obese and showing up on time.

You’re going to lose sleep You’ll doubt whether it’ll work You’ll stress to make ends meet You won’t finish your to do list You’ll wonder whether you made the right call - and have no way to know for years This is what hard feels like And that’s okay. Everthing worth doing is hard and the more worth doing it is the harder it is. The greater the payoff the greater the hardship. If it is hard good, it means no one else will do it.

It's always the luckiest of people, like Alex, who gives the hard work speeches so brutally, because they are insecure about the fact that what they achieved practically landed in their lap and needed a standard work schedule to achieve and now he's telling everyone to lose sleep and GRIND! GRIND! Maybe sleep 8 hours a night, eat healthy and let yourself relax some times - life is hard enough as it is, don't need egomaniacs like Alex to guilt us into thinking we should grind our lives away. The guy is another "self-proclaimed guru" when noone was asking.
