What’s the meaning of life? What’s my purpose? You can’t find them without God. In general, your purpose is to grow God’s kingdom and serve others but that looks unique for each person. God isn’t going to come knocking at your door and deliver you your purpose, you need to find it yourself. Pick a direction and go. Work towards something and then learn, grow, and pivot and you will eventually find your purpose but you can’t be passive.

Chasing temporary feelings will never lead to permanent fulfillment. Many people waste their entire lives away chasing comfort. Doing so will hold you back from ever having a meaningful life. Society uses comfort to control us and many aren’t aware of the traps our lives are in. If you want greatness, stop allowing comfort control your life.

Two people can live the exact same life but have different experiences because of their perspective. Sometimes you can’t control things but you can control the way you look at them. Take ownership over your perspective and use it in a way that is going to lead you to your best life. We live a life we focus on.

If you don’t want to be average you are going to have to stand out. Average people do average actions. They don’t want to see you succeed because it forces them to reflect on themselves which makes them feel bad. They are going to hate on you and try to hold you back out of their own selfishness because misery loves company. You won’t be able to please everybody so why please anybody. You will never find fulfillment pretending to be somebody you’re not. BE YOURSELF!

Tough love is still love. Being hard on myself is one of the things that has brought me the most growth in life. Be in a constant state of honest reflection always looking for what you can do better. You need to sometimes beat yourself up a little bit in order to learn from an experience. It is important to acknowledge wins but many people waste time doing so and allow it to hold them back.

You are capable of more, you always are. Accepting that you can do better is hard, but you can’t do better without the humility. Your standards should be so high that you aren’t meeting them because when you don’t settle that is where true growth happens. You only get one life so why not make the most of it by becoming the best version of yourself.

You only get one life so why allow it to be controlled by a temporary feeling of comfort. In order to stop putting things off, you have to accept the fact that you are doing it. There is no perfect time but the best time is right now. You can always find an excuse to put things off but you have to start in order to get to where you want to be. You are never going to know everything before you start so be able to take imperfect action and stop getting stuck in analysis paralysis.

Discipline is a perspective shift. There is always a bigger challenge than what you are going through. When you realize it is not that hard, it gets easier. If you complain about how much it sucks, it will continue to suck. A big key to discipline is having a purpose and why behind what you are doing which you can fall back on when you are feeling unmotivated. Realize that delayed gratification will always be worth it in the end and push through the hard things.

I don’t know where I would be without the gym. It all started with having an eating disorder and being told discipline was a bad thing. So I did the opposite of what they told me which got me in the gym. It has taught me discipline, delayed gratification, consistency, never being satisfied and being hard on myself. These skills overflowed to other areas of my life which led me to the best season of life I have ever lived.

I struggled with being alone for so long. I was afraid to face myself so I settled my standards in relationships that numbed me. It was never enough validation and I knew it was wrong but I continued to do it anyway. I took advantage of other people and parts of myself in order to feel good about myself. I then realized that true confidence comes from self improvement. Running from your problems and imperfections will not change them.
