Without a goal, the goal will not be achieved. Without a standard, the standard will not be met.
Without a clear path, The Path cannot be followed.
Meandering through life, instead of becoming who we could be — instead of attaining our highest possible manifestation of being, we simply become… whatever we become. We fall short.
We must have a code to follow.
The Code. 1. I will take care of my physical health by exercising, eating properly, and getting the rest I need to recover and rebuild. I will take care of my physical surroundings, keeping them in order. 2. I will develop myself mentally by reading, writing, drawing, building, creating, and engaging in other activities that sharpen and expand my mind. 3. I will not waste time. Time is precious. 4. I will not waste money and I will make prudent financial decisions. Money is hard to earn. 5. I will set goals that I will strive toward. 6. I will excel in my job because work is integral to life.

8. I will control my emotions and not allow my emotions to negatively impact my decisions. 9. I will put others before myself.

You can modify it if needed.
We will get stronger, smarter, faster.
The Code sets a standard, the highest possible standard. The highest possible standard reveals and delineates The Path we must follow.
The Path is how you become what you want to be, who you want to be, and what the world needs you to be.
Those things that you need to do, that you are supposed to do, that you know you must do. Those things are The Path.
Just start. Now.
You must impose Unmitigated Daily Discipline
The bar must be set high. It should be near impossible.
We need to exercise, be well rested, and well-nourished to reach optimal health. On top of cardiovascular health, a person must be strong, fast, agile, flexible, and mobile. To be each of those things, you have to engage in activities that positively impact all of them.
We also need to train ourselves to improve how we deal with the challenges in our personal world.
Track what you spent money on, what you saved, and what you invested. If you are disciplined with your money, you will have more of it to spend on the things you want, when you need them.
Setting and achieving goals is a critical human pursuit. Make your goals hard to achieve. When you do achieve them, they will have more meaning.
You can’t accomplish much on your own and you need people in your life if you are to reach your fullest potential.
should know CPR and basic life-saving steps.
Being eminently qualified is being on The Path that does not end.
It’s the way of living life where we accept that with every single day there is more to do.
We are trying to get better, every day. This requires growth in every facet of personal and professional development.
Don’t compare yourself to others.
It is you against you.
You must commit. You must stay on The Path.
The situation doesn’t dictate what happens to you.
You dictate the situation. You decide.
The person you cared about does not exist. The idea that this person was a trustworthy faithful companion is not true. You created an ideal around their framework, but they do not actually exist. They have proven they do not exist by their actions. Do not dwell on what it was, because it wasn’t. Do not dwell on what it could have been, because it couldn’t. It was a lie.
Walk away.
Don't look back.
the more you crawl back to them, the more you belittle yourself and push them further away. Don't do it. Walk away. Don’t look back.
ON THE PATH. Wake up early. Work out. Run. Read. Write. Learn. Play an instrument. Train jiu-jitsu. Eat clean. Clean your room. Clean your car. Get ahead at work.
financial discipline which begins with tracking all of your financial activities. Start with a budget of all your income and expenses.
If you don’t track your expenses, start doing it now. Get smart about basic financial planning and saving. Educate yourself.
You are responsible for your words and actions.
Your goal should always be to retain control of your words and actions
1. Accept that you were affected by a serious event that has had a real psychological impact on your life. 2. Don’t accept that you are a victim – this may be a difficult situation, but you have control over how you respond to the trauma.
10. Set out on a path toward the light. Find joy, laughter, sun, exercise, and nature. 11. Don’t let this trauma beat you or take that away from you. Move forward every day. 12. Beat this trauma by living your life.
Then go harder.
Unmitigated Daily Discipline in all things. It is the only Way.
