I'm 55. Trust me on this.
Pursue your goals in private. Outside of your wife and one or two good friends...most people don't want to see you succeed.
I'm sorry it's that way.
I'm 56. Trust me on this.
Pursue your goals in private. Outside of your wife and one or two good friends...most people don't want to see you succeed.

Sydney McLaughlin set a world record in the 400 Meter Hurdles.
This is what she had to say about it,
"Records come and go, but the Glory of God is Eternal. I don't deserve anything. But by grace through faith, Jesus has given me everything."
ππ½ Conclusion: You don't just "luck" into a happy marriage. It takes both people being intentional.
Of all the investments I've made, my marriage is the one I value most.
β’ Spend less than you earn.
My wife and I were desperate to get out of debt ($45k), so we decided not to buy ANYTHING for 12 months.
No things, no restaurants, no Christmas gifts.
Out of debt in one year.
Elon Musk once said,
"If you give yourself 30 days to clean your home, it will take you 30 days.
But if you give yourself 3 hours, it will take 3 hours.
The same applies to your goals, ambitions, and potential."
Bruce Lee said,
"Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke.
Your body doesn't know the difference.
Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling.
Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life."
I believe this to my core.

Our first year of marriage was - a train wreck.
The first 7 yrs pushed us to the edge of divorce.
How do you get from there...to quite possibly the most incredible and fulfilling marriage on the planet?

- Put down a non-refundable deposit,
Your brain will figure the rest out.
In a clubhouse interview Elon Musk was asked, βWhat words of encouragement would you give to an entrepreneur?β
He answered, βIf you need words of encouragement donβt be an entrepreneurβ
That hit hard.
Christian Bale once said,
"If you have a problem with me, call me. If you don't have my number, then that means you don't know me well enough to have a problem."

My wife wasn't feeling well last night. She'd cooked all day and the dishes were stacked high.
She said, "I'll get them in the morning babe."
I stayed up until 11:30 washing every dish.
Red pill society would call me weak.
I call it, "I love my wife."

Pay attention to what youβre focusing on.
