Are you in?

“If you only do what you've always done, you will never get to where you've never been.”

I want to level up my life. I have had one very vivid, insane, unconventional dream for a very long time. But guess what? I haven’t chased it because it isn’t what I’m used to. It literally defies all the laws and teachings I’ve ever known.

Risky? At best.

Unconventional? 110%

Insanity? Is only when you do the same thing and expect different results.

SO seriously, why the bleep am I holding myself back?

I’ll tell ya why, its because I’m a chicken shit and everything that I want takes doing the polar opposite of everything I’ve ever done.

It’s the same with diet and exercise.

If you want to gain weight but only do plyometric exercises, cardio, etc, and (unknowingly) don’t eat in a calorie surplus or stimulate the muscle, you’ll stay a very lean kid.

And if you want to get fit and healthy, but don’t start exercising (even just walking) or eating more nutritious and whole foods (protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats and yes, carbohydrates like rice, oatmeal, and potatoes), you’ll never get to feel the benefits of being healthy from the inside out.

Consistency is the key to results and success in anything you do in life. If you consistently try, work your ass off, and give your desired thing 110% effort, you really can’t fail—if anything, you’ll just learn.

But often times, we forget that consistently doing the complete polar opposite of everything you’ve ever done or ever known, is exactly what will take youth where you want to go.

If being in Australia has taught me anything, it’s that: “you’ve got to do what’s best for you,” quoted by a very wise manager, and multiple companions.

And if Covid has taught me anything, it’s that life is too short and it can be taken away from me in the snap of a finger.

And if experiencing a world wide pandemic amidst being own the other side of the world in a different country has taught me anything, it’s that nothing in life is guaranteed, not even life its-self. Oh, and that the world owes you nothing, so pick yourself up and dust yourself off, kid.

Do you see what I’m saying?

Complacency, stagnancy, rational, fear, rejection, negative people, and doing the same shit you’ve always done will get you bloody-well no where. It won’t take you to the places you’ve never been, and you’ll never attain the things you’ve never had.

Thats just the bottom line. Isn’t it?

We have no guarantee in this world anymore. No guarantee of job stability or employment, no guarantee of certain freedoms or rights, no guarantee of being masked/unmasked, in lockdowns/out of lockdowns, going to school/not going to school, etc, etc, etc. There are no guarantees anymore. Hell, I couldn’t even guarantee that my flight wouldn’t get cancelled when flying home, nor can I predict when the borders will open again. So why am I adding so much pressure on myself to “have it figured out” or “start a career” when lord knows that schools could be cancelled tomorrow, or the career I decided to chase instead of chasing my dreams just isn’t for me.

Who the hell is to say that everything will be fine if you just play it safe? And equally, who the hell is to say that you’re gonna end up flat on your ass or in a complete shit-storm if you actually do the complete opposite of what you’ve always done.

Go to school, get a job, work until you retire (whatever age that is) and then live your life.

Legit, fuck that. Life is happening right now. Life is right here. Fuck that, mate.

How about I go broke trying to achieve what I want to achieve.

How about I eat completely different then how I’ve always eaten in order to feel better.

How about I stop avoiding certain foods and start eating everything in moderation.

How about I stop playing it small, and start recognizing that this can all be taken away from me tomorrow.

How about I stop refraining from living to my fullest potential and just take the damn risk.

Read all of that again and ask yourself: Whats the worst that can happen?

My answer (for reference): I go broke and end up in more debt that I’m gonna die with anyways by exhausting every option and at least giving myself and my dream a shot.

My answer (for reference): I don’t attain the goal I wanted to attain by eating differently and therefore go back to what I used to do.

You don’t know, until you don’t know.

And finally, as yourself: Am I in?
