Stop Learning.

Everyone preaches how important it is to always be learning.

Sure, learning is great, but what people don’t tell you is UNLEARNING is more important

Unlearning all the complete utter lies you’ve been told your entire life placing invisible shackles on your life

Every time I come home to Ohio and talk to old friends I hear the same things over and over

Unhappy in their job, want to make more, want to buy these nice things, but can’t do any of them

and when I ask “well if you’re so unhappy, why do you not make a change” because that seems like a very logical thing right? At least to me

Then all these reasons get spewed:

“well I can’t quit my job because my parents would be upset”

“I can’t ask for a raise/promotion this early on because it has to be after 3 years”

“I can’t move because I am not making enough money”

“I can’t start the business because 90%++ fail”

There’s unlimited excuses, and they’re all FAKE invisible chains you’re wearing

Seriously, you have IMPRISONED yourself with these made up lies that you cannot do things

You in fact CAN do whatever tf you want

You can quit your job

You can move cities

You can ask for a promotion

You can start a business

You must unlearn this way of thinking that you’re confined to what people have told you your entire life

When I hear people complaining about how unhappy they are with their job / life as a whole and being unwilling to change it, it KILLS me

You’re going to spend the next 30-40 years doing something you don’t like because you believed some made up rules to be your living truth?

How sad of an existence is that?

If you don’t wake up ON FIRE so excited and grateful that God gave you another day on this earth you are doing something SEVERELY wrong and I encourage you to do an analysis on this

I was talking to this friend about how I made it work building my first company in college while a full time D1 student athlete, and he was asking me why I started going down this path and how I did it in college

and my answer was pretty simple, it quite literally felt like a matter of life or death to me, I was fully conscious that I was 2 years away from getting a finance desk job if I didn’t figure it out

and sorry to my dad and brother but I think I’d rather die than do that, so I HAD to make something else work

and then I broke all the invisible shackles I had heard my entire life, I dropped out school as someone that was almost always a great student

I moved out of my hometown, I didn’t listen to anyone, I just put a vision in my mind and said I’m gonna go get it

and you can do that too

life’s way too short to not wake up every morning super grateful and excited for the life you get to live

I hope this has you do an audit of your life, and fires you up a little bit

as always, hear to help with anything
