2023....YOUR TIME TO LEVEL UP

2023....TIME TO LEVEL UP
What makes this year so special. Well, in my eyes, the last few years have been so fucked up, with no one knowing whether they are coming or going. No one really let go and comitted to something. So many people fearing the Unknown.
Well guess what?
Fuck the unknown and make or create your own path. Be your own MAN or WOMAN. Real MAN or WOMAN (M/W) dont ask for permission, they dont beg and they dont sit and wait. We CREATE, We DO and We LEAD. So LEVELING UP is exactly that. Taking yourself from version 1.0 to version 2.0
Owning your mistakes. Owning your decisions and becoming the real YOU. I read something from one of my favourite authors today.
BEDROS KEUILIAN
If you want to feel depressed and anxious, follow this roadmap:
- Don't exercise.
- Drink booze to escape your problems.
- Eat high sugar, high-fat foods that are void of nutrients.
- Stay isolated.
- Ignore and avoid people who want to help you.
- Avoid the outdoors and sunlight
- Spend money on things you don't need and can't afford.
- Don't explore your calling or purpose.
- Screen sucking on social media all day.
 If you follow this roadmap to the "T" I guarantee you'll be depressed and anxious. 

WHY DID THIS RESONATE SO MUCH.
Because I used to follow this roadmap, and did I feel good about myself, FUCK NO.
So what he is trying to say, if you do the opposite, most of your anxir\ety and depression goes away. You become confident. You stop blaming the world. You take ownership for the decisions you make and the mistakes you make. And ideally you find a purpose.
I can speak from a mans point of view. We need purpose and we need to feel like we are important and needed by our loved ones and friends. And you cant be those things with your head up your ass and not being the man or woman that you are destined TO BE and WANT to become
Becoming that 2.0 version takes effort, dedication and purpose. You need to start making those small changes, changes that you thought are not important, well guess what, they fucking are. 

"V"s & "L"s
Small changes lead to small victories. Your life and day should be about collecting those small victories. Little "V"s I like to call them. Because thats how you set up a winners mentality and start getting your days right, then your weeks and so on. So its about collecting "V"s and not "L"s (losses). And its easy to start collecting these Vs and building them up throughout the day. Its about keeping those little promises you make to your self and sticking to them.
Its like me saying to myself the night before I go to bed, I am getting up at 4.30am to be at Gym by 5.30am. I am going to drink 2 glasses of water in the morning as i get up and have a banana and shower before I get there. That should be a PROMISE that you make to yourself
So the morning comes and the alarm rings at 4.30am, YOU now have 2 options, OPTION 1 get straight up and collect that V, or hit snooze and collect your first L for the day. I might not mean much at the time, but subcontiously your mind and body are either collecting victories or losses, and its sets up your day.
So you get staright up, drink those 2 glasses of water, smash down a banana and have a shower and be at the gym by 5.30. 5 "V"s collected before 5.30am. What a START
Now if you went the opposite way and hit snooze, woke up 15 minutes later, only had time for a quick glass of water, didnt have that banana and skipped that shower and made it to the gym rushing and at 5.35am. 
How many "V"s did you collect. I would say ZERO, but you already collected 5 "L"s and that could not be the best start to the day. And believe me, the mind is such a powerful thing. It plays games with you, if you feed it "L"s it will get used to taking them in. Be a "V" person. Start amking yourself promises and collecting those victories and then start seeing how your life changes around and what discipline can do
DISCIPLINE is the key to all success. Without DISCIPLINE, you will not put in the HARD WORK, and without HARD WORD there is no REWARD
This is just the start of how we will start LEVELING UP as a KDP Team
