What information are you intaking? 🧐

A lot of guys are just hopelessly coasting through life just hoping that change in their lives will come. However, in order to influence this change, you yourself have to change. You have to grow beyond your current self in order to have a better life. If the only information you’re taking in on a daily basis is just rap music and whatever you see on social media, you simply won’t grow into the man you want to be.

To be clear, change isn’t a bad thing at all. Change is natural. It’s the only way to grow. Nothing stays the same forever and nothing should. A tree doesn’t remain as a sapling for its entire life. Change doesn’t make you fake. Sometimes you just grow out of friendships, bad habits, or pointless earthly desires. It’s ok. People are gonna be mad regardless. People are gonna talk. People are always gonna be people. Imperfect. As long as you’re making a conscious effort to grow and be better, you’re doing great. Read a book bro🤦🏾‍♂️

[do not write everything down] Writing every single thing down does more harm than good. Everything presented in your textbook is not important. You only need to write the key points down! You are more likely to remember what you wrote down. And this makes it easier to understand and review later.
