let’s talk about the basics of life for a minute. Well, it will take some more time but you get what I mean right. People hate the basics and can you guess why? Because they all assume they’re boring. Well, the thing is that the basics are easy and not fancy at all. But they work and you need to understand that you won’t achieve anything in life if you neglect them. I recently watched a training video from John Wayne Parr. He’s a Muay Thai legend and he was drilling the jab and the double jab over and over again. It’s the first punch you learn. I got why he did it but so many people were bitching about it. They all assumed that he trained way more fancy shit and that he didn’t want to give away his training secrets.
Well, he gave them away but most people were too ignorant to realize it. Oh, the “normal” people keep on entertaining. Grab your popcorn ladies and gentlemen because I’m pretty sure that there will be idiots who hate on this post in the future. I just won’t return hate because that’s a waste of energy.
Let’s take a look at what success, relationships and so on all have in common.
I’m all about the basics
I’m a basic guy and never neglect the basics. I recently watched a 30-minute breakdown of the jab and I do MMA for about a year now. Most people would be bored or assume that they already know how to do it. I make sure that I cover the basics over and over again in everything I do until I reach perfection. Guess what, perfection doesn’t exist so how can you ever stop covering them? Weird that people don’t get this. I guess that most people get too comfortable way too soon. Maybe some people are happy way too soon or maybe they haven’t high expectations in life.
The basics and relationships
I went pooling with some friends Saturday night. It was a last-minute decision but I enjoyed it. Later that evening I talked about dating a couple (they’re good friends) and they told me that they dated for a year. They have a great and stable relationship so I always listen carefully when they talk about it. Turns out that they dated for about a year. So can you guess what the basis of a good relationship is? Friendship, there’s nothing more to it. I assume that I wouldn’t date for a year but I tend to take a slower approach. You’ll have a lot fewer surprises in the end. I seriously don’t get why people want to rush things all the time. Nothing good ever came from doing that.
It’s like trying to ride a bike when you’ve never tried it with support wheels. Enjoy the face plant, my friend. You’ll have more than one and it’s your entire fault. You can’t neglect the basics. You really can’t. Oh and don’t play games. Just try to act normal. Most people have a hard time doing that.
How to date one last time
Meet up and have a great time
Had a great time? Good.
Meet up again if there’s a great connection and keep doing it
Don’t play games, be a gentleman and be patient
Be nice don’t play a fake alpha male act
Get happy together and have awesome sex
Argue from time to time but always solve it
Always keep on doing effort
Make handsome babies (if you want kids off course)
Marry (only the right wife for the sake of your life)
Stay together till you die without being in a sexless marriage
The end
The basics and success
A lot of people want to become successful but most of them fail and can you guess why? Because they neglect the basics. You just have to do one simple thing if you want to succeed in life: you have to fail forward. That’s it. Well, you’ve got to work hard as well of course but more on that later. People don’t fail in life; they fall in life and never get up. I can guarantee you that I failed tons of times in multiple areas in my life. I got hit pretty badly at some points in life (sometimes even literally) but I always came back stronger. But I always see the good side of everything that happens in my life. It’s never a failure but always a lesson since I like to turn the odds in my favor.
The basics and hard work
I’m all about that hard work and realize what you can achieve if you work hard. Hard work is the basis of almost everything in life. Most people put forth the effort for a while but stop doing it after that. Those people are the first ones who’re surprised that they just can’t succeed. You’re trying to run when you can’t even walk properly. Why the rush?! Be more patient. Good things come to those who are kind, patient and work hard.
The basics and life
Just do what you love and love what you do. I know a lot of people who hate their job and that sucks. How can you be happy if you’re unhappy the majority of the time?! Get out before you’re completely miserable. It’s just not natural to be unhappy all the time. But there’s more of course. Try to be active every single day. Be grateful every single day and don’t forget to smile. Don’t text while you’re talking to other people. It’s so easy. Just live life before life lives you. I can assure you that feeling lived is a dirty and unhappy feeling.
The basics and health
Live a healthy lifestyle before you kill yourself. I released a post on what I eat (read it here) and someone told me that I eat pretty basic. I was like “duh that’s easy”. You don’t need all that fancy shit. I eat pretty basic and mix it up. Just eat protein, fats, carbs, and veggies every single meal. It’s easy and delicious.
The basics and your approach
People like to make things extremely complicated. Some people can turn the simplest things into rocket science. I always wonder why they do it. Just keep things simple and stick to the basics. You’ll realize that you’re able to pull off things way easier and that things aren’t so complicated after all. Well you made them complicated off course. It’s all a matter of perception. I have one more question before you go: So why don’t you go back to the basics instead of back to the future.
