Most of the time, the work people are avoiding isn’t as hard as they think. Once they do it, they know they can do it over and over again. But because you don’t start, you’ll never know.

You are not bad at your passion, you just haven’t practised enough.

There are 86 billion neurons in your brain connected by trillions of connections. You have the most powerful tool in the universe inside your head, and you're using it to scroll social media.

When you start, you’ll suck. Then you’ll start to understand. Then you’ll get better. That’s how you will come to believe that it’s possible.

The market is saturated. There is too much competition. People have already done it so many times. Does. Not. Matter. What matters is whether you can do it better?

Your brain deletes information you don't use regularly. That's why you lose skills when you stop practising, not because you lost the ability. You didn't lose your talent, you just got lazy.

Focus is limited and runs out with use. That's why morning focus is sharp, but afternoon focus is impossible. You waste your best hours on irrelevant tasks and wonder why your goals don't progress.

Fear of embarrassment has killed more dreams than lack of talent ever did.

Your brain can't tell good habits from bad ones. That's why quitting cigarettes feels as hard as starting a gym routine. But you only fight hard for the destructive ones.

Nothing can stop you from changing your life if you make a decision and stick with it. You have a chance as long as you are alive.

Your brain needs 23 minutes to fully lock back into focus after being distracted. That's why notifications destroy your entire day. Every time you check your phone, you're throwing away half an hour.

Stop trying to be good at everything. Pick one thing, work on it like a maniac, and be the best at it. That's how you win.

Discipline isn’t a big, loud, 24/7 hustle concept. It shows up in your daily habits. Not sleeping that extra hour, not eating that last piece, not binge-watching that show, these moments define discipline.

Your problems will never end. You will never be prepared enough. Your circumstances will never be right. Work on your dreams, regardless of everything, because life will never be in your favour.

Your brain only trusts when words and actions align. Every time you break that pattern, even with yourself, you destroy your credibility.
