Try using this trick for 7 days and message me personally and let me know if this worked for you.
Using this trick you will go from being a lazy person to a high performer and you will be able to achieve all your goals and will also feel happy and satisfied while doing so.
This is a completely science based technique to make your life better which I have figured out from my very own experience.
We all want to achieve our goals in life, but to achieve them we need to put in the work.
BUT!
But, but , but!
When you get to work, work for a few hours, days or weeks after a while you will start feeling:
  1. Less motivated.
  2. Less driven to do the work.
  3. Loose interest in pursuing your goals.
I have been in a similar cycle, rather than just saying you should overcome these things, lets learn the science behind why we feel less driven after working for a while.
To understand why this happens, I’ve analysed my own behaviour and I’ve analysed the behaviour of others who are driven, disciplined 365 days a year.
Here is how it works:
  1. You are inspired by something and start working .
  2. You work, everything is going great, you feel good.
  3. You work for hours straight, you feel on top of the world because not only are you working but you are also feeling good because of it.
  4. By feeling good, your brain is generating happy chemicals to make you feel good.
  5. These happy chemicals associate working towards your goal to happiness which means that the more you work the better your feel.
  6. After a while, you get mentally exhausted, but still you feel good as you have completed a lot of work.
Now this is where most people FU*K UP!
7. At this point as you are tired, you will take a break which is actually a good thing.
8. As this is your break time, you decide to surf the internet, browse social media, watch a YouTube video.
9. Although there is nothing wrong in doing so, but these activities provide a lot more “feel good” chemicals to your brain than those which you get from working/ studying hard.

Now your brain knows that:

Unit of feel good chemicals gained by YouTube/Netflix etc >(greater than) Unit of feel good chemicals gained by working/studying.
Which means that your mind now knows that it can attain a much higher level of happiness from social media/ Netflix/ YouTube than working hard.
Hence your mind will now be always inclined more towards these activities and you won't be driven to work hard.
Some people completely FU*K this up using other activities like watching porn or consuming alcohol/ nicotine which produce a lot more units of feel good chemicals as compared to what you get by working/studying.

So what's the ninja technique:

Stop doing other activities that provide a sudden spike of feel good chemicals in your brain.
Make your work the only source to get those feel good chemicals.
This way your mind will be automatically programmed and driven to do the work which will be actually beneficial and will take you to your results.
Make a list of all the unproductive things which release the “feel good” chemicals and stop doing them immediately.

These things might include.
  1. Surfing social media.
  2. YouTube videos.
  3. Porn.
  4. Eating junk food.
  5. Smoking/ Alcohol.
  6. Binge watching TV series.
Replace them with more activities that produce the same “feel good” chemical, such activities would be:
  1. Working/studying mindfully.
  2. Working out.
  3. Meditating.
Warning:
Trying this technique will be super hard and boring on the first day as our mind is already wired and addicted to a lot of high “brain chemicals” inducing things.
In the initial few days you will still feel a lot lazier and unmotivated while working but if you continue this habit your mind will start to rewire itself.
If you follow this technique and if it works for you then definitely let me know by sending me a message.

 “..you are your own CEO..”

Who can be fired by the actual CEO in less than a text message.

“Do what you love”

But plan on the likelihood of being broke. Want to know the quickest way to ruin a hobby or passion? Make it your career. Ask any graphic designer. Or staff writer. Hell - even doctors.

“Do as I say, not as I do.”

…usually said by a parent to a child after they do something shitty. If you don’t want your 6-year-old to drop the F-Bomb…

..how about you stop dropping the F-Bomb 30x a day around them?

“if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.”

You are correct - I don’t deserve you. Nor do I prefer you.

When I hear this phrase, all I see:

Between the ages of 18 and 25 you have a certain power that will never be as powerful going forward: The Power to Screw Things Up!

Between the ages of 18 and 25 you have a certain power that will never be as powerful going forward: The Power to Screw Things Up!

Barely any mistake, failure or screw-up can permanently damage you or your life at 22-years old.

You still have the body, the mind and the time to make it all up and that is a phenomenal strength, because it allows you to explore!

Not all the investments you will make are going to be golden! Some will be piles of crap, but that’s okay!

If you spend the time you have now to grow, to become better than you were and to find out what you can about yourself and your life, you will be miles ahead of everybody else even if you do screw up along the way!

Dive right in, take a chance, do the things that scare you and take the time to give yourself your all!


#1. Invest in Books

Understand that every book you read holds information that someone else spent years collecting, organizing and making easy to understand.

Use that help!

Invest in your own improvement, your own mind and knowledge, because it will stay with you forever!

The biggest reason why so many people stagnate as soon as they get a job out of college is because that is the moment they stop growing and learning at the same rate they used to.

Go above and beyond and learn those things that others are unwilling to learn so that you create an arsenal of knowledge that supports you in creating the life you desire!


#2. Invest in a Coach/Mentor

Coaches and Mentors can see the things that you will miss.

They hold you accountable, make you see your own mistakes and help you grow in a way you could never grow alone. That is why the smartest and most successful people in the world know this and all have mentors, coaches and a circle of amazing people themselves.

Even Warren Buffet is taking financial advice from someone!

A good coach/mentor will take your mind for a loop, they will make you feel like you got slapped across the face, and by doing so will cut through all the limitations you have set yourself, giving you a clear cut path.

It’s one of the most luxurious, high-class investments you can make, especially if you start early.


#3. Invest in your Circle

Invest in the relationships that will help you succeed!

Find people that push you to be greater than you were and people that make you do uncomfortable, but great things.

Do not spend your time with “Feel-Good People” or those that do not even care for you. Invest in the relationships that push you to be your best!

You want to find people that are better than you at the things you want to get good at so that they pull you towards them, but also those that will not allow you to cheapen out on what you are capable of!

Find at least 5 of those people that have the same drive or that will not allow you to B.S. yourself!

Once you find these people push them in the ways you want to be pushed and they will push you back, creating an upwards spiral of growth!


#4. Invest in One Hobby

Go all in into something that you love and improve, grow and master that thing.

Maybe it’s playing Music, Writing, Drawing, or even becoming a Master in how to invest.

The point is that you pick one Skill that you already love and become even better at it.

This does not have to be a marketable skill! We are not going for Sales or Money here! What’s important is that YOU derive value from this hobby and love it.

We all need some ways to get our mind off of the daily stress and off of our problems, and if you have something that gives you self-worth and makes you feel phenomenal outside of what you do for a living you will have a powerful safety net when hell breaks lose!


#5. Invest in Getting to Know Yourself

Who are you? What do you like? What do you dislike? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What do you do well with and what do you struggle with? What makes you uncomfortable? What makes you scared? What is your mindset like? What are things you still wish to gain? Who do you wish to become?

Get to know yourself right now and become comfortable with who you are. Travel alone, meditate in peace, or take some time to answer the questions above.

When you become comfortable with who you are there will be less things that scare you. You grow a belief in yourself, which will bring you far more joy in life.

Go explore life, test some things out, do what you find uncomfortable right now and put who you are to the test. Only when you do what scares you do you clearly see who you are and only then can you truly act upon it.

Learning who you are and how to love yourself is the best, self-repaying investment you can ever make.

Working as hard as Elon Musk?

I was in a colony function the other day, when an uncle came to me and asked .....

I was in a colony function the other day, when an uncle came to me and asked me a similar question, though with a different profession in mind. You have an amazing profile, why don’t you prepare for UPSC and become an IAS officer?”

A few days back, another person had asked me, “You have an amazing academic background, why don’t you opt for a research career and try for a top-notch Ph.D from Harvard?

Quite a few people have also asked me why I don’t try to become an entrepreneur.

The thing is - everybody has different goals in life, and what might work for one person might not work for another.

For the time being, I am very happy in management consulting because it keeps me on my toes. There is something new to learn every single day, an extremely smart peer group, and fast-changing industry dynamics.

The day I get bored of management consulting, I might try something else. But for now, I am happy with my career. We don’t have to always go by the norms of society. I would rather focus my energy towards exploring different facets of life these days.

Recently, I met a friend that told me about his cousin.


His cousin was absolutely fantastic at football - a real wizard - so good that he trialed for the Liverpool team for his age group when he was 14. They said he wasn’t physically strong enough and should try again in a year.

A year later he tried again, and again they rejected him. He kept trying for other clubs for a few more years and in going for his passion messed up his school education. To his credit, he went all out.

He failed to make a career out of football, but at least he followed his passion.

He’s now in his mid-forties and stacks shelves in a supermarket.
