Week 1: The Disgust Factor - Your Launchpad
My dear friends, Greatness is calling, but it demands discipline, consistency, and a complete revamp of your routine. It's an all-in journey.
This year, I made a promise to myself, I’m done with merely existing, I am designing my ideal life. And I think I cracked the code of what propelled me from stuck to unstoppable. Here's the no-nonsense routine that got me there.
Over the next three weeks, I'll be sharing the unfiltered routine that reinvented and transformed me. It's a no-nonsense guide designed to help you shed your limitations and embrace your ultimate potential.
By the time you finish this series, you'll be equipped with the tools and strategies to craft your own path to greatness. You'll be closer to becoming the unstoppable force you were always meant to be.
Are you ready to embark on this adventure? Buckle up, and let's get started!
STEP 1: The Disgust Factor
“Sigh”...okay, first of all, I'm going to need you to get disgusted about your current state.?
The first element you need to completely change your life is disgust. Lol, hear me out. You have to be so disgustingly frustrated about your current circumstance that you’re just naturally inclined to get up and get to it. No one will tell you when you start googling how to fix your situation, researching workouts, mapping out a plan to change your life, or searching for jobs. It will just come naturally. Disgust and frustration…yeah… It will give you abilities and superpowers you didn’t know you had. It’s true what they say. If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.?

Let's get real. You need a wake-up call. A healthy dose of disgust with your current reality For me, this was the life-changing moment I knew my life was never about to be the same. I cursed myself out, I insulted myself, the mistakes I had made, the decisions I had taken, the things I did not do, I insulted my inconsistency, always starting, never finishing, my choices, and the fact that I would have gotten much further in life If I had just done the work! You can give yourself the ick enough to spark a revolution in your life.
When you really want to change, you just change. But most of us don’t really want to change—we don’t want to go through the pain just yet. At least recognize it, be aware of it, and give yourself a smaller change you can actually carry out
STEP 2: Find Your Why with Brutal Honesty
Why? Why do you want to change your life? Why are you searching for greatness in your life? WHY?
And I am not asking in a cheesy way, no. Ditch the generic answers. We're talking about raw motivation here. I am asking you what is the reason that will get you up from bed, that will make you do that thing you do not feel like doing? Because you need to have a brutally honest reason, a voice speaking to you at the back of your mind. Want to know mine??This was what I wrote down at the beginning of my journey:
I want to change my life because I want to prove the people who doubted me wrong, because I know I am meant for big things, because people are waiting to laugh at me, waiting for me to fail, because I cannot depend on my parents, because I do not know how to ask for help, so I need to be my own saviour at all times, because I want the world, and everything in it, because I know my potential, I know what I am capable of, because I love to make an impact in the world and the recognition that comes with it, because I have people looking up to me and I have to make the right impression.?
You see these reasons, these are no bullshit reasons that I still hear every single day. I do not play about my journey anymore because I have these reasons at the back of my mind every single day. I am not saying I want to "change the world", or "I want to inspire young women" (still great reasons), no! I am saying, I do not like asking for help, I do not want to sleep with a man for money and I love proving bitches wrong. Get it?... These reasons get me out of bed every single day. These are my non-negotiables….Find yours.
See you next week!?
