Let Them Be Wrong About You.

I was the nerdy kid growing up.
Like alone at prom.
Everyone thought that I was destined to be a nobody.
Or worse…
Someone who happily took commands on his knees.
It almost ended up that way too…
Until I changed my mindset.
In my late 20s, I began to realize that the world is malleable to your desires.
All it takes is concentrated intention.
Here’s how…

# 1 | see your vision
If you believe that something is “unrealistic…”
You’ve already lost the plot.
Raw intelligence doesn’t matter anymore.
I’ve seen college dropouts make someone’s salary in a single day.
All while living out their wildest fantasies on a rooftop in CDMX.
It only happens after you dispel your standardized way of thinking.
From an early age we’re taught to follow a certain trajectory…
But is that path actually serving you?
Start dreaming bigger.
My goal this year was to be a jacked philosopher living a disciplined life in a sunny locale.
I did it within 6 months, and now I’m exploring what else I can do.
If you don’t know what you want…
Take out a piece of paper and start writing whatever flows into your head.
Or use an online tool like Squibler to force intuition.
Visualize yourself already there — everyday.

# 2 | cut distractions
The world is filled with bullsh*t that will never matter.
Don’t let them commoditize your attention.
I know it’s tough — the brightest scientists are actively working on ways to convert your time into dollars.
So all you’re left with is empty delivery boxes and crippling loneliness.
F*ck that.
I struggled with tech subservience until I took a new approach…
Fight tech with tech.
- Download apps like “one sec” that create an impulse gap
- Greyscale to make your phone newspaper boring
- Screen time restrictions
- NEVER sleep with your phone in bed
Most people want you to be average.
But you’re not.
The fact that you’re READING articles on Medium shows that you know there’s more to life than what they serve you.
Now when you drop your digital addictions down to zero —
Here’s where to reroute your attention…

# 3 | the 80/20 priorities
For men, three qualities open every door imaginable.
- A fit body
- Leveraged income
- Calm mind
Once you place the bulk of your energy into corresponding habits…
You’ll get more traction in one week than your last month.
Sh*t is crazy.
Here’s why…
People are wired to find value in aesthetic things.
So build the body.
Untethered income allows for geoarbitrage.
This isn’t new — guys like Tim Ferriss have been doing this since we were crapping our pampers.
And of course…
A calm mind is self-explanatory.
But it’s also the hardest to obtain of the three.
Here’s what helps me…
- Reading stoic philosophy
- Meditation 15 minutes a day
- Walking + cardio
- Spending time with the brothers
So bro…
Let them be wrong about you.
They don’t know any better anyways.
If there’s one thing you take from this article…
Never overestimate them and underestimate yourself.
Keep learning.
You’ll do great.
