How to follow through on goals
1. Do at least something everyday to stay consistent
2. Set up a measurement system so your progress can motivate you
3. Play the long game, realize you're making a LIFE change
Aggressively remove distractions. A big part of why you don't do what you're supposed to is because habitually you let frivolous things hold your attention.

Seeking motivation is a waste of time.
But if you happen upon it, do something with it.
Treat it like a booster and use the emotional high to enhance your focus and productivity.

The anxiety a lot of people feel comes from uncertainty about many different aspects of their future.
Making moves toward your goals can solve much of this, but it means you must bravely confront reality.

Moving towards your goals also means directly confronting the possibility that your personal limitation make achieving your goals impossible or highly unlikely.
As the hero of your story, it's your job to move towards your goals anyway.
You think of penalty in terms of "violation -> punishment" which is why the cost of wasted time may go unnoticed

Constantly remind yourself that achieving your goals means often going outside your comfort zone and doing difficult or awkward things.

One of the few non-action, actions that are worthwhile is journaling.
Only because it has a high probability of leading to taking actual action.

At its core, the fundamental problem with self-help gurus, courses and the like is that, even if it works you're still relying on someone else to fix your life.
Self-reliance is a critical part of any lasting solution. Don't invest in self help that doesn't address this.

Take yourself seriously: If you set a goal or say you're going to do something, get the ball continuously rolling on it.

In terms of motivation, feel good videos by gurus are like processed foods. Garbage.
The positive results you get from taking action and racking up bigger and bigger wins are like Grass Fed Beef with butter slathered on top.
Act accordingly.

General self help advice will not help you.
If you're fucked up, it's for very specific reasons and you'll need a specific game plan to make yourself better.
My take on the "genetics excuse"
Ultimately genetics play a large role in achievement.
However NONE of us know the extent of our genetics. Advances in epigenetics, even moreso.
The only way to know your genetic limits for sure IS TO GO EXPLORE THEM.
Posted this pic to show “genetics” vs “hard work”.
A number of people said my “genetics” were actually good and that’s how I made this transformation.
Which is exactly my point.
You DO have better genetics than you’ll think.
Without the work, you’ll never realize it, though.
Everything you do matters.
And also
Everything you don't do matters.
If you give that truth even the slightest bit of thought it should scare you straight.
It's also why achievers and winners avoid BS activities like the plague
