THE LIFE YOU WANT

Seven Personal Accretions

1. I am willing

2. I am wired to win

3. I’ve got this

4. I embrace the uncertainty

5. I am not my thoughts,

I am what I do

6. I am relentless

7. I expect nothing and accept everything

The only thing you will regret is not doing.

Get out of your mind and get on with your life.

You are going to die, tomorrow, a year from now, 20 years from now. The regret for not trying, not striving, not putting the effort in to do things you wanted to do. So, today, regroup, retool, move forward. Give yourself the ability to live the climb.

Standing still, staying in your comfort zone is never going to get you to your full potential. The risky zones in your life… those are LIFE. You can create your future, the one you think of, hope for.

If you want it…act on it.

1. Stop doing what you are currently doing (you already know the outcome of your current actions).

2. Start taking the actions that will propel you forward.

Use every waking hour of your life creating the life you want.

You are not your thoughts

You are your actions

You are what you do

Get out of your head, and into your life.

Build the life you want.

FALL

CHANGE

WHO ARE YOU?

Change your thoughts

Change your actions

Change your life

You change your life by doing

Not just by thinking about doing

Thoughts (words) without actions (doing)

Are just that.

TRUE POTENTIAL

You are never going to reach your true potential if you are hooked by what other people think.

…you could change you life overnight if you stop believing other peoples opinions matter.

HUNGER STONES

LETS DO THIS THING

Entrepreneur Andy Frisella created the “75 Hard”program as a way to reach his own fitness goals. Now, he's sharing the rules for his own success with everyone.

There are five daily tasks (plus one over-arching rule!) which much be executed consistently for the entire 75 days.

If you skip a day, you must start over. If you miss a task, you must start over at day one. "You cant tweak the program to your liking ... it's supposed to be inconvenient and it's supposed to be hard," said Frisella. "In life, conditions are never going to be perfect; you're always going to have to do things that you don't want to do and the minute you start tweaking or compromising, that's what opens the door to quitting."
Pick a diet to follow, with no alcohol or cheat meals. You must choose a diet based on your goals and stick to it. But there's a second caveat to the rule: No cheat meals and no alcohol. In a culture that depends on after-work drinks or wine once the kids are in bed, Frisella acknowledges the difficulty of this task. "Not a drop. Not a beer. Not a wine. Not a glass when you get home. Nothing for at least 75 days," he said. "There's a number of reasons for this: Empty calories, psychological addiction, physical addiction. Also, we’re talking about detoxing your body for 75 days ... You don’t understand how foggy you are because of this (alcohol-drinking) lifestyle."
Drink a gallon of water daily. "Make sure you start early and be consistent throughout the day so that you're not chugging a gallon of water before you go to bed," Frisella said, which, he admits, he had to do a few times himself.
Complete 2 daily workouts. One of the most time-consuming parts of 75 Hard is the workouts: Two 45-minute workouts of your choice must be completed per day and one of those workouts must be done outside, regardless of the weather. "This is the point of the program — conditions are never perfect," said Frisella. "And one of the reasons that most people can’t get through life in an effective way is because the minute conditions are tough, they throw the towel in on their plan."
Read 10 pages per day of a non-fiction book. "This is not entertainment time, this is not 'Harry Potter' time, this is learn new stuff time," Frisella explained. "The book has to be a self-development book of some kind and it has to be for personal growth." He also stresses that it needs to be a physical book, not an e-book you read on your phone or tablet.
Take a progress photo every day. "This is not just to show your physical transformation ... once you start getting some progress, fitness or business or anywhere else, you start to forget the little details as you go," said Frisella. These photos will help you remember the daily progress of your journey, he said. He also encourages people to take photos that show their body, recognizing that this may be difficult, but that these photos are for you only and don't need to be posted.
