The difference between greatness and mediocrity isn’t found in an extraordinary act. As Eric Greitens says in his book,  Resilience , you fall back on your training. Your training is who you are ever day, not who you  think you’ll be  when the shit hits the fan. While these lessons are three, they have to be incorporated into who you  are , not who you aim to be. Strike out on your own path and avoid falling back into the paths already forged by mediocre men, work your ass off everyday, and do what others aren’t willing to do. The difference between greatness and mediocrity isn’t luck, it’s habit. 1. MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN PATH If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. ~ John D. Rockefeller In business, don’t look for trends; instead invent a new one. Don’t follow leaders in your industry, craft out a new niche. In life, don’t pursue what has already been pursued, and don’t foll...

If we told you you’re doing just fine in life, would you believe? Probably not. None of us would, to be honest. Because, look at all these people around who have it all sorted, you know what they want to do in life, these people who are younger than you and are still much more successful, these people who are already buying their own cars and houses while we’re still shuttling between jobs. See the place that thought just put you in? That’s exactly where we all go wrong. That’s exactly how we jeopardize our happiness and mental peace. © Unsplash There comes a time in our lives when we feel that we’ve lost the grip, that life has slipped away and we’re lagging too far behind to ever be able to catch up. You’ve already lost the race; it seems, before even hitting your peak. Only, life isn’t supposed to be a race. You’re not supposed to be racing against other people. You didn’t come to this world to compete. So, step out, because you never really signed up for this rat race....

"Life is never going to be the same, not the next moment, not the next month and definitely not a few years from now ."   Our younger years are often wasted trying to ‘sort life out’. It’s only later that we look back and realize that we had been chasing the wrong ideas of success and happiness. A life with regrets is a life wasted. Here are 17 things you’re going to regret not doing in your 20s later in life. 1. Not Taking Fitness Seriously © Unsplash Being comfortable in your own skin is one thing and being unhealthy is another. Don’t get fitter for the world to see. Do it because you owe it to your body. People are going to come and go, the only thing that will stay with you till the end of your life is your body. Get in shape now so your body stays young even when you’re 40. 2. Not Saving Money © Unsplash We know you’ve heard that a lot but tell you what, it’s one of the biggest regrets you’ll have when you get older. Life isn’t easy, especi...

“Silence is better than bullshit.” We've been blessed with a precious gift, my friend: the gift of talking. The gift in which we can share our emotion, thoughts, or just bullsh*t into something called words. People assume that the most outspoken, opinionated person in the room are the most intelligent one. But in reality that's not the case. The quietest person are the smartest person, the people who talk less have the most brainpower. They are the creative one, the geniuses who gets stimulation from learning rather than socializing.  They choose to open their ears rather than their mouth. It's the quietest one who turns out to be the most interesting and surprising, isn't it? Most of the time people are just shouting randomly about the topic, without any contribution to the conversation. The result: no one is really interested in listening to them. But that's not case with the Smarter People, they think before they speak. They aren't in any ...

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future” ~ John F. Kennedy The one constant thing in our life is change. We cannot avoid it and the more we resist change the tougher our life becomes. We are surrounded by change and it is the one thing that has the most dramatic impact on our lives. Change has the ability to catch up with you at some point in your life. There is no avoiding it because it will find you, challenge you, and force you to reconsider how you live your life. Change can come into our lives as a result of a crisis, as a result of choice or by chance. In either situation we are all faced with having to make a choice – do we make the change or not? I believe it is always better to make changes in your life when you choose to rather than being forced to. It is our power of choice that enables us to activate positive change in our lives.  Acting on our power of choice provides us with more opportunit...
