You get what you put in

To get the things you really want out of life…. Money, status, fame, influence… It takes work. REAL. WORK.

You can’t skimp out on anything.

You gotta put your head down, and grind.

You have to tune out the thoughts and ego that make you feel crummy and powerless when you can’t figure out how to troubleshoot.

Because troubleshooting is a bare must if you’re looking to level up in your purpose.

You gotta do the things that most people wouldn’t do because for them, it’s too much.

You gotta be the one who makes it look easy.

And that takes hard work and real discipline.

Consistency too.

The thing is, you don’t come from money.

In fact, 99% of people around you don’t come from money either.

So therefore, your opportunities are purely going to come from the work you put into yourself and your lifestyle.

So no skimping on anything.

If you put in minimal effort, you truly will get minimal results.

It’s like that for any route you choose to take.

Think about it.

What haven’t you found exciting in your life?

Becoming a builder, an architect. An actor, or a fitness coach.

A clinical psychologist, a businessman, a lawyer.

Now you want to do astrology readings, create merch around your Astro Inspire brand, and get a music album going.

This is way easier said than done - no doubt about it.

The work and consistency it’ll take to achieve this is grand, and the competition is real.

You have to tune out pretty much everything except yourself and your drive to work.

Because like I said, nothing comes easy - especially when you come from nothing.

The things that you’ve found highly interesting during your life at times?

That’s fleeting.

In fact, time in general is fleeting.

You have to put your head down and work.

Work HARD.

And don’t stop working.

Work, work, work.

Along the way, you’ll realize there’s some cool psychology in the things you do.

In fact, there’s psychology in just about every route you take.

You’ll also have experiences that are unique to you and can be shared with others along the way.

But just like any route that sounds fascinating and easily do-able, there’s going to be major work tied to it if you want to level up.

You can’t let your progress get to your head either.

Or else you’ll become weak.

Weak minded and entitled.

Entitlement is the enemy.

You’re not entitled to the extravagant.

You’ll always have a roof over your head, meals to eat, people surrounding you that love you, and exciting little hoorah moments.

But to really build yourself up and get the glory, it’s not and never will be something you’re entitled to.

Period.

You’re not entitled to the extravagant because you’re a “deep thinker” and have powerful insights.

Or because you made some strides in the past.

You are here now, and you must keep moving like everybody else.

Nobody is better than you, and nobody is worse than you.

It just boils down to the people who are choosing to stay disciplined in their lives.

The ones who are doing what they find to be within their control.

Everybody is living, so everybody is working.

You can tread lightly or put all your cards forward.

Seriously, you can.

It’s your choice.

But the results are always going to show for itself, and it’ll be inevitable.

It’s difficult because not only are you putting in hard work, you’re also watching your hard work fail and not get recognized at times.

That’s WHY discipline and consistency is so important.

It’s like icing and sprinkles on top of the cake.

Nobody wants to eat a plain ass cake.

Unless it’s angel food cake or they’re trying to cut sugar out of their diet.

But that’s not the point.

The cake isn’t going to look very exciting.

You won’t look very exciting if you start working hard and then stop because you didn’t get the results you wanted right away.

Working hard is something you should want to do for yourself.

Because it’s inevitable.

Nobody is going to do that work for you, except maybe your parents when you’re a little kid.

If you don’t help yourself, nobody will.

It all boils down to YOU.

So what are you waiting for?
