This will probably be the most controversial message you read this year.
The reason you are not where you want to be is because you don't deserve it.
Right now it's 1:34 in the morning, and I am working.
Creating content, organizing a sales campaign, watching MMA highlights to keep me amped, and more, before I will eventually go to bed, only to wake up early for the start of a new day of work.
I have serious life goals that I WILL ACHIEVE.
This is the necessary process to get there sooner than later because I want to be young and accomplished so I get to stunt more.
Not old and successful so every one assumes it was slow and steady to win the race.
Nope. That boring ordinary tale ain't for me.
I want to be extraordinary with a one-of-a-kind story.
So I make NO excuses.
I will not die if I stay up another hour to do a few more tasks.
However I will live more fulfilled and get closer to my goals, if I move smoothly to do those extra tasks tonight (this morning). That is how I view my goals.
The average person disagrees.
They say genetics are why they are fat, so "oh well, nothing I can do about it" They say their parents didn't teach them, so "oh well, nothing I can do about it" They say 50% of marriages end in divorce, so "oh well, nothing I can do about it" They say some girls make false allegations, so "oh well, nothing I can do about it" They say they weren't born rich, so "oh well, nothing I can do about it"
Bullsnot.
There's nothing but millions of things you can do about anything, you just don't want to DO it.
You've got what I call LABS, you're either lazy, arrogant, broke(n), stupid or worse, all of the above, which is why you are stuck.
Does that not make you ANGRY?
Typing it offends me.
Knowing that it is true and I may be the first to tell you this outrages me.
Being forced to talk about it infuriates me since I wish you already knew how powerful you are to influence your circumstances instead of being a victim to them.
Oh well.

I can do SO MANY THINGS about it.
I already am.
Right now I am committing to work so you can read this some time in the future.
Having you think I wrote it at that same random time when really it's a message from the past while future me is working smarter and harder and for longer than you will.
I will not be outpaced by my laziness, my stupidity, or my arrogance.
I will not be outworked at being the best me I can be.
My goals cannot afford it.
My family cannot afford it.
My customers cannot afford it.
How bout you mate?
Can you afford it any longer?
Yesterday was the best time to make a move.
However right now is the second best time gifted to you.
Do you accept your present?
Is your future worth it?
If yes, click here.
Time to get to work.
All it takes are a few clever mindset shifts that dramatically change how you move, and increase what you can accomplish in a short amount of time.
No more excuses.
Only infinite opportunities.
Let's GO!
