Stop making excuses

I can assure you that your life will drastically change if you start doing hard things. Just be honest and ask, when was the last time you were really satisfied or happy? I'm sure that this happiness was the result of some really hard work. The harder the task, the happier you'll be. Life truly begins when you step out of your comfort zone, stop being lazy, and stop making excuses. Try to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Don't overthink whether something is worth it or not. Overthinking can often lead to not doing anything at all.

What's your excuse for not exercising today? What about not reading a book? The majority of people claim they don't have time. The rest don't say anything; they just do it, even if they actually don't have time. They manage everything in the end. Most things may seem impossible, but what matters is whether you try or not. Ask yourself in the mirror daily, "Is this the best I can do?"

Stop hitting the snooze button and start with a win each day. Hitting the snooze button can lead to a snoozing mentality in all aspects of your life. If you wake up early every day, run 3-4 miles, and never quit no matter the circumstances—whether your ankle is sprained or you're out of breath—I can say with certainty that you won't quit in life either. Life is a big marathon with its ups and downs. There will be moments when you feel tired, and a fleeting thought might tempt you to quit. But remember, all the effort you've put in will melt away if you give up.
