Age 1: Diagnosed with a fatal disease. Said I'd die by age 2. Age 2: Got pneumonia but survived. Proved them wrong. Age 4: Got pneumonia again. Still survived. Age 7: Major spine surgery. Pain so bad I begged to die. Age 8: Parents separate. It becomes a five-year divorce battle.

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: Your excuses are lies you've told yourself so often you believe they're truths. For years, I told myself no girl would ever want me, so why even try to date? Excuses justified loneliness, excuses protected

Doctors said I would die before I graduated high school. Nobody thought I would go to college. Nobody thought I would ever have a girlfriend. Nobody thought I would even survive. And I realized I had a choice: I could believe they were right, and I would die… … or I

I'm begging you to stop chasing comfort. Comfort feels good. Comfort feels safe. But comfort is quietly killing your dreams. After college, I landed a comfortable job as a real estate developer. Six figures, luxury, stability—it was easy, too easy. I knew I should be

If you don’t have the life you want… It’s not because the game is rigged. It’s not because your parents messed you up. It’s not because of anxiety, depression, or any other mental or physical condition. Here’s why you don’t have the life you want: You are tolerant of

"I'm too old to start." Common excuse. Here's my response: Doctors told my mother I would die by the age of two. All children with my disease died young. But medicine improved. Technology improved. And my will to live was stronger than anyone imagined. I'm now 42. Still

I used to think the government could save me. I couldn't buy insurance. And I had $120,000 per year of medical bills. The government offered me Medicaid. For free. At first, I was grateful. I felt like they saved my life. But then they told me I wasn't allowed to work. They

I always thought I would die a virgin. I'm in a wheelchair. I have less strength than a toddler. I need help eating, going to the bathroom, everything. Guys like me didn't get laid. It was just a fact of life. But a part of me wondered... what if I wrong? In my 30s, I

You think you’re too small to change the world? I used to think so too, but then the craziest thing happened: “I don’t have any dreams.” A burly man in a construction hardhat stood in front of me. His eyes full of sadness. I was on an assignment from a self-help seminar to

I can't move my body, so I used dictation software to write down my thoughts and publish them. More than 200 million people read those articles. It made me a millionaire. You aren't limited by your weaknesses. You are limited only by your ability to think your way past them.

How to instantly become more wise: Stop believing everything you think and feel is true. 99% of your thoughts are nonsense. 99% of your feelings are nonsense. Wisdom is the humble, relentless search of the remaining 1%.

Imagine the day is over. What could you do between now and the next few hours to disappoint yourself? To be ashamed of what you accomplished? Don't do that. Do the opposite.
