Instant gratification vs Delayed gratification Your dopamine tanks when you have too much of the first one and not enough of the second one. Also... the brain loves to feel a sense of progress throughout time, if you are not progressing towards a meaningful goal you'll start falling into despair. ] Just shoot me a DM, bro, we'll have a chat.

@Harkrishan Singh purpose, clarity and direction is not something that's out there and we need to find, but something we already have within us and all we need to do to see it is to clear out the noise that clouds our vision. Bad habits are not the real problem here, they are simply symptoms of living a bad life, by focusing on them we'll have a hard time trying to remove them. The most important thing is to keep it simple and focus on the highest leverage tasks that will improve our lives. Build a timetable with the 3 core self-improvement habits: 1-Working out for the body. 2-Reading for the mind. 3-Meditating and doing gratitude journaling for the soul (and mental health and impulse control and a lot of other benefits you'll need). Lower the bar to success low enough so you can hit it consistently every day. Don't go and start a 2 hours long bodybuilder's exercise routine. Start with 10 push-ups and 20 sit-ups every day. There's no shame in that, we all have to start somewhere. You'll improve over time but you have to have the patience and understanding that this is a long-term thing you'll be doing for the rest of your life no matter what, even if you see NO RESULTS whatsoever from it, you must adopt that kind of mindset, detach from the outcome and focus solely on the inputs. Then do progressive overload, start leaning just beyond your edge... not just with the gym but with everything. You feel too much resistance while reading 10 pages of a book daily? No problem, start reading only 2 pages of a book but MAKE it consistent, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY. No exceptions. In a matter of weeks you'll be reading 5 and before you know it you are finishing books back to back. The same with meditation. Download a free app called Medito and start with the shortest meditations there, they'll teach you how to mediate, don't give up. Gratitude journaling programs your brain to pick up on things you are grateful for and it will eventually and unperceptibly change your mindset from a victim's mindset to a growth mindset, essential for success.

@Aira Therens bro, I swear I felt the energy of my ancestors taking over me... 🤣

You're not going to like this but here it goes in case you are willing to open your mind and get some results: Fuck your friends and fuck that losers circle. Lock the fuck in FOR REAL! Focus on Self-Improvement relentlessly. Build yourself a timetable with these 3 core self-improvment habits: 1-Working out for the body. 2-Reading for the mind. 3-Meditating for the soul (and for mental health, impulse control and emotional regulation). Then focus on start making money online (the younger you get started the better, I know 13 year-olds who are already making more than brain surgeons, trust me, money is freedom in this world, the sooner you get started the better). Start reading Atomic Habits and then move on to The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco and Deep Work by Cal Newport. Forget about social life and all that bullshit right now, all that drama is holding you back from making real progress, just use ALL your anger, all your negative and dark emotions and turn them into fuel for making the BIGGEST comback of your life. Focus like if you were in the military! You could have a truly AMAZING life if you are willing to put in the work and grind at increasing your own value as a man for a couple of years... trust me, man. I wish somebody had told me this when I was younger and I had actually paid attention and followed through. You already know Self-Improvement is a thing... now take it seriously and get to the next level.

@Jimmy Mcsuckinballs you've got this, brother. You are already doing more than 90% of the people... you are ACTUALLY trying, and that's the spark that shall kindle the FIRE of greatness in your heart. Time to BECOME the ABSOLUTE BEAST you were always meant to be. Stay on course.

Got the solution for you, brother. NUMBER 1 RULE: Lower the bar to success low enough so you can hit it consistently every day and then start leaning just beyond your edge. Motivation appears in movement, not before. So you just need to get started. 3 things: Clarity -> Commitment -> Consistency First you need clarity... you need to know what you are commiting to so you can actually get consistent. Bad habits? Don't even worry about that shit. It's just a side effect of a purposeless existence, as soon as you lock in they'll just fade away and fall off on their own weight. You need to focus now on this: Build yourself a timetable with 3 core self-improvement habits: 1-Working out for the body. 2-Reading for the mind. 3-Meditation for the soul (also helps with impulse control, emotional regulation and mental health, it's like the cure of cancer, trust me, this is pure GOLD). Working out feels too hard? Well, if you are experiencing so much resistance is because you are doing more than what you can handle, drop the ego, drop the need to prove something and focus on doing exactly what you can do at your current level. If that is only 10 push-ups then commit to going to the gym for 10 minutes and doing 10 push-ups and that's it... but do it every SINGLE FUCKING DAY. I mean it. Reading 10 pages feels painfully boring? I don't blame you, people write a lot of shit these days. A good read for you to get started is Atomic Habits, if it feels too hard to read just read 2 pages per day. The power of compounding effects will surprise you. Meditation feels like a Chinese type of torture? Yeah, I've been there, man. No worries, do it fo only 3 minutes per day. Downlaod a free app called Medito and start with their courses from the beginner's level, they start at 3 minutes or so... it's simple enough and they teach you how to do it. Trust me, that stuff will change your life. Lower the bar to success low enough so you can hit it consistently every day and over time start leaning just beyond your edge, progressive overload, just like in the gym.

@Zerota The Great thank you, brother. Stay on course. You've got this. A man's will can TRULY move mountains. You'll see. No matter what time you go to bed and wake up, no matter what happens throughout the day... commit yourself to do this daily, build that timetable and follow it as if it were a divine command and you'll be surprised of how insanely your life changes for the better, man.

Build yourself a timetable with these 3 habits: Workout for the body. Read for the mind. Meditate for the soul. You do that as soon as you wake up, lower the bar to success low enough so you can hit it consistently every day and stop focusing on fixing your bad habits, that just makes it harder. If you focus on the good ones eventually you'll do so much of them that you will not even have time to do the bad ones... they'll just dissapear from your life effortlessly. If you wake up, meditate and do gratitude journaling, read and then workout... bro, the day is already a win... you can scroll like a brainless zombie for the rest of the day if you want. Eventually you'll simply won't want to do that. You'll want to: Read some more. Practice a sport or this new cool workout routine you are trying to pull off or read about or saw on YT. You'll want to start this new book or finish the one that finally got your attention and you are not having to force yourself to read, not you're actually enjoying reading it. You'll want to spend that time doing some deep journaling, teaching yourself to think in a structured and logical manner, thinking from first principles and learning to solve problems in your life like a fucking genius. That's the stuff! Delusion backed up just by words it's just delusion but delusion backed up by relentless action... that's called FAITH, brother! Remember: Duty, Honor and Pride!!! Stay on course...

@Hawt Sauser I'm really glad, brother. Stay on course! You've got this...
