I'm Done Gate Keeping This

Sorry this post doesn’t actually have any bro science tips or tricks to shortcut success.

Actually it is the opposite. 

You see, so often people try to learn all these special tricks or techniques on how to look better, be smarter, lift heavier or be more successful. 

In reality, there is no ‘secret sauce’.

I remember when I was a little kid I googled a hundred different ways to make my teeth whiter and have a better smile. I tried whitening strips, mixing strawberry paste and baking soda, exotic mouthwashes, but none of them made any lasting difference… seriously, I tried everything.

Everything except brushing my teeth and flossing for two minutes twice a day. Consistently.

You see I did not need any hidden wisdom to achieve my goal, I simply had to stop neglecting the basics. (now this isn’t to say the other tricks don’t have their place)

But the same is true with your life.

Maybe you want to be healthier. Maybe you want to be smarter. Maybe you just want to be more likable. 

It’s not like you need a fad diet, some microlearning game, or a forbidden psychological tactic.

Nope.

Solution. Eat 3 meals a day, drink water, and break a sweat. Read a few pages of fiction and non-fiction daily, meditate or pray, study things of interest. Call people by their names, listen to them, be lavish and sincere in your praise.

Oftentimes we overlook the simpler means for the complex trick and thus we reap the reward of neither.

You know what you have to do - so just go do it.

Stay clutch,
