“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.”
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
Take responsibility for your life, regardless of your starting point, obstacles, weaknesses, and past failures.
Taking responsibility for what happens next is the only way to get what you want out of life.
1. Drop Toxic
“Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.”
People you spend the most time with, will be who you become.
Avoid those with no moral code and those that don't take responsibility for their situation.
Surround yourself with people who will bring you closer to your goals. Find someone to help you through life.
2. Forget About Being Liked
“If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.”
You're not going to accomplish much in life if you worry about being popular or liked. There will always be people who don't like you, no matter what you do. It's better to be hated for who you are than liked for who you are not.
Ignore any attempts to faze you. Focus on what you think of yourself and not what others think of you, no matter who they might be.
Never apologize for your heritage, personal desires and characteristics.
Always speak your mind and hold your ground and never tolerate disrespect.
3. Learn To Say NO
“It’s only by saying “NO” that you can concentrate on the things that are really important”
In order to accomplish your goals, you'll need to say NO, a lot. Find your spine and say NO to stuff that's not for you.
If it's not a HELL YEAH!, then it's a hard NO! No explanation required.
Don't be an ass-kissing “yes-man”. Do shit for yourself.
4. Forget Fancy
“I’m not into sit-down dinners and fancy shit like that. I’m into fueling up and being on my way.”
Leave behind any thought of pampering, pretty-boy treatments, fancy shit and other frivolous distractions.
Keep yourself well groomed and well dressed, that's it.
Keep your shit lean and tight.
5. Give Up Giving Fucks
“If you go around giving a fuck about everything and everyone without conscious thought or choice—well, then you’re going to get fucked.”
Don't give a fuck about being different or pissing people off to do what you feel is right or important. Say "fuck it" to everything unimportant in life.
6. Do Right, Not Easy
“People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world.”
Always choose to do what's right, not what's easy.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, and there's nothing in-between. Have the courage to do what's right and never compromise.
Do what's right, no matter what
Keep your promises, no matter how small
Speak the truth
Be kind and thoughtful
Respect everyone
Fearlessly defend those you love
