For starters, I heard something the other day that made me think, and I would like to touch on it.

I was listening to a guy named Jesse Itzler and he was talking about giving advice and how people should be careful about it. He brought a good point up about how if you have experienced many things, you can give advice on those things. Although, you should not be spewing a bunch of information in areas you have no experience in.

I for one totally agree, and I want to point out that I do understand I am 23 years old and have a shit ton of life to still experience. I am not here to give advice. I am writing purely to document what I am learning from my life along the way. If you relate to it and can find some benefit from what I am saying, that is all I am putting it out there for.

Please take advice and ideas from people with a grain of salt and make sure you always question who you are listening to, and if they are someone you want to be like some day.

On that note, what have I learned lately???

I have learned, and am still learning every day, that getting better is fucking hard.

Consistency is hard.

Holding standards is hard.

Creating new goals and sticking to them is hard.

Confrontation is hard.

Change is hard.

But you know what I have noticed is even worse?

I have noticed in my life multiple times, and recently in watching other people’s lives, that waiting to deal with problems until you're forced to is way fucking worse.

You see I have noticed that the universe will let you slide. It will let you be comfy, and it will let you float along pushing everything under the rug. It won't reward you, but it won't punish you either. Sure, you will always have that nagging feeling of what you SHOULD do but hey we can all live with that right?

In our heart of hearts, we know we should go to the gym, we should have that hard conversation at work, we should eat right.

But ehh todays been busy, that conversation can wait tell they have more time, and it’s okay tomorrow I'll stick to my diet.

We say excuses like, I am listening to my body, or having that conversation with whoever will only make things worse, or it won’t matter nothing will change. Just to ease that nagging voice in our heads telling us we are dead wrong.

At the end of the day though, the universe will circle back around, and payments will be due.

It gave you the years of ease you wanted, it let you have your time and now time is up, and the problems can no longer be ignored. You spent all the time you were given in the beginning and now your time of slack has come to an end.

Now you must deal with your choices. You must deal with your body being unhealthy as you age, you must deal with those relationships you let go to shit because you waited to say anything, you must face the facts.

The fact is, in the end the house always wins, and the universe will make sure you settle your wins and losses on your way out.

So, I encourage you to think about what your conscious is telling you to do in each area of life. That nagging feeling is debt accumulation. You will pay it, whether it is now or later.

Getting better is hard.

But so is living with regret and anxiety over not doing what you know is right.

I'm still learning this. I still do more things wrong than I do right.

At the end of the day, I know I won't quit trying to be better, and eventually I will be the best.

I can live well knowing that.

What about you?
