It’s actually pretty easy to get ahead of 99% of people.

To be better than 99% of people, all you have to do is commit to three rules. It's actually a progression, so really, it's just one rule and it only takes five minutes a day. How much easier do you want it to be?

The weird part is, the more you level up, the more you end up being around people who have also leveled up. So you never really feel “ahead” but your life does get better.

[shreybothra]

Watched this at 2x, so I'm gonna get ahead of 99% people faster

This video can be summed up in one statement: “you know what you have to do, get it done.”

[skeratix]

The biggest thing I’ve done for myself is find pleasure/gratitude in discipline. Simply being happy to overcome that daily challenge is invigorating for myself.

"You choose the pain you face or life ends up choosing for you"
Best thing I have ever heard this year.

I deleted instagram bc I spent so much time on it. With all my free time I realized I could learn the violin. Now been playing violin for a year and a half.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

The BIGGEST LIE You've Been Told About Money is that it doesn't grow on TREES!! 😆

its simple, not easy. A lot of this comes down to emotional stability to be consistent with goals/plans.

Unlike most “self-improvement” youtubers, this guy actually gives usable and actionable advice which actually works.

[charbela.]

It seems like these days, the entire concept of self-improvement has been reduced to just hitting the gym. Don't get me wrong, exercise is important, but it's become this singular focus as if there's no other way to better ourselves.

After 14 years I quit smoking 2 months ago, joined the gym & eating healthy fruit & veg salads in the daytime, and trimmed down my sugar intake... feels amazing...
It takes mental strength not the physical.
This Sunday I'm joining Toastmasters for better communication & Arabic language program... I think after a year if I stick to this path, I'll change my future for good. Let's go 💪💪💪

[OwlsUniqueSounds]

I drive past a cemetery everyday on my way to the gym. It reminds me to keep improving and live life to the fullest because tomorrow isn't promised. hell I could have a heart attack at the gym for all I know.

David Goggins once said he deliberately finds suffering in his life because that gives him more joy than any material things can offer.

[Riggsnic_co]

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[kasasto]

I love how he goes on this rant of "Get out of your comfort zone, get out of the instant gratification rut" straight into "You can make custom made study plans with one click" without missing a beat.

[JVR_beats]

This is almost the exact same thing the book "Atomic habits" is about, just do one small thing everyday, to improve at it or whatever, but you have to stay doing it one time a day, every day

[nivinjarkas]

I love how realistic this is, pain will eventually come even if u do nothing, so at least I will be in control to choose what type of pain I will suffer.

[Dhr_v]

One of my today's small win is watching this instead of funny cat videos.

[gbizzle]

The question is how many people watched this and didn’t click on another video and actually got to living.
