HOW To Make Some Progress

Boys,

Sometimes I tell people I’m not that materialistic

But then sometimes I do sit there and think

I do like nice things for sure,

And I’m sat there thinking “Am I materialistic? Or not?”

And then I kind of come to the same conclusion every time which is—I’m like everybody else in the sense of I do like nice things, but…

For me it’s not about the nice things

It’s the fact about the nice things SIGNIFY or represent that I am making PROGRESS

Like for me, progress is the #1 thing

And I think for very ambitious guys (which all of you in this e-mail newsletter are)

WE ALL care about progress more than anything

Maybe the average joe

The average dude

You know… That has a normal job, a normal life, and has no aspirations to get more out of life,

For him a Ferrari is amazing because it’s a fast car

But I feel like for guys who want MORE out of life

A Ferrari is just a reminder that YOU ARE on the RIGHT path

Like just the same way buying a property is a sign that you’re on the right path,

Just like buying a fucking hotel is a sign that you’re on the right path

Just like buying a bunch of land is a sign that you’re on the right path

Right?

It doesn’t mean that you’ve made it

It doesn’t mean that you know… It necessarily gives you that much happiness

But what it does do is show it’s just a milestone in your journey

It’s like “Okay, nice. I’ve achieved this”

At one point in time, I’ve aspired to achieve this thing and now I have that thing

WOW

That’s progress

That’s IMPROVEMENT

So for me, it’s all about the improvement—the progress

That’s why for a while I used to be addicted to the gym

And I was training really hard

And I was trying to get my deadlift really up every week

It’s like now I’ve done my best deadlift (which is 240 kilos)

With no straps, nothing

Just chalk

And every week I was trying to beat my deadlift pretty much

Obviously it wasn’t just 1 rep maxes—3 reps, 5 reps, 7 reps

All these kind of things

And that’s why I’ve gotten so strong at deadlifts because I’d really just want to get stronger at that 1 thing

I feel like making progress in that 1 area of my life just made happier in that one point in time,

Because that’s all I had in terms of what I was working on

So all of you right now reading this e-mail,

I want you to REALLY just understand that everything YOU WANT in this life is just feeling good

FEELING LIKE THE MAN

FEELING respected

It’s all about chasing that feeling

But to GET THAT feeling,

YOU HAVE to IGNORE your feelings and just work work work

To then FEEL AMAZING all the time

Does that make sense?

Even when I feel a bit sad

Or when I feel a bit depressed

Or when I feel a bit angry

Or when I feel whatever, whatever, whatever

The underlying feeling of all my emotion,

Is just I’m proud of who I am

And that comes from working hard

Right?

So IF you WORK really HARD

You’re gonna feel amazing about yourself

And that’s the best feeling in the world

That’s what gives me happiness

Knowing that I feel good about myself and who I am as a person
