The Most Determined Person In The Universe
When it comes to “completing a task” there is no one wiser than Marvel Comics’ Thanos – The Mad Titan himself.
If you’ve heard about him, you’re probably familiar with the fact that his niche is that he will not stop at anything to complete his objective to eliminate 50% of all living creatures in the universe.
Now, I’m not here to argue whether he’s right or not. I am here to state the facts, that being that there’s no one more determined than him (existing or fictional). And his stubbornness is unmatched and truly role-model worthy.
What are you ready to give up?
When you start a new journey and set a certain goal in front of you need to figure out how you’re going to approach this mission.
Ask yourself the following questions?
- How much time can I dedicate to this cause? Per day? Per week? Per month? Per year?
- Am I ready to abandon everything else for this crusade?
- What kind of personal sacrifices am I ready to do? Relationship with friends? Family? Partner?
- Is there anything I need to get done first?
- Etc.
I struggled to commit myself
For some time I wanted to do this whole youtube vlog, blog, videography thing, but I didn’t. Why? Because I couldn’t commit. Because I couldn’t deal with the fact that people are going to make fun of me. I could barely post something on Social Media because I was afraid of what people would say. “WOULD“!!! I didn’t even try for God’s sake. I didn’t want to change so that people didn’t leave me, because other people didn’t agree. But, as the great Garyvee has said:
“How can you give a fuck about what people think when they don’t have the full picture?”
Time to ACT:
So over the last couple of months, as I was going through the whole NoFap process, I started to find myself. I started to be more confident about my body, myself. And so after a couple of months, one day I finally had the courage to say “You know what? Fuck them! Let me do me!”
So that’s what I did. (The process was slow of course) I picked up my phone and I posted something on my story on IG. Then something else the next day. After about a week I posted an actual photo of my hedgehog. Then a photo of myself. Then another one. Then I said screw it. I need to upgrade this.
So I started the “An August Lifestyle” “brand” so to say and this way I started to work on my physique.
I had to forget and give up my whole life before that!
Doing so; Committing myself to this journey, I had to give up Video Games (which I used to play everyday), Netflix (watched way less stuff since then), food (I don’t allow myself to eat garbage foods anymore), etc.
Most important is I sacrificed time with my friends and family to commit to the “youtube and blog game”.
I had to change my MINDSET and with that lots of other things about me and so the past ME is currently in the ground.
And this is what One has to do to achieve greatness. But if this is important enough to you, all this is just:
“A small sacrifice for salvation”
TL DR:
Basically, if you truly are ready to commit to something, forget everything you were and become your new self. If you truly believe in something, give it your all and do not look back.
