I’d have never sat on this spot if I didn’t go all out.

I’d probably never fought if I didn’t go all out since I was almost done with the sport (too many horrible coaches and pretenders in this game).

Did I take a risk? Absolutely.

Was it hard from time to time? Absolutely.

But in the end, fortune favors the bold.

You see, most people face a setback and cry.

I, on the other hand just try.

Trying got me a lot further in life than crying.

Think about that next time you watch a motivational speech or read a motivational self-help book.

That book will make you feel good and collect dust on the shelf as soon as you finish it.

You don’t need any of those. You just need to get after what you want and adapt along the way.

The ones that’ll claim you’re crazy will envy your life down the line.

Action, just like inaction, has a price.

That is what we call, the reality of life.

One that only a few are willing to face.

Till next time

Heaven and hell are concepts often linked to religion. For good reason, of course. We all know the good old saying: Good people go to heaven and, bad people go to hell. It seems comprehensible and, obviously, some people monetized these concepts back in the days. People could pay off the priests back in the days to get rid of their sins to enter heaven. That lead to the fact that people didn’t accept both concepts anymore. But what if heaven and hell are real? Just not in the way we’ve been told? What if heaven and hell are places on earth? What if heaven and hell represent a state of mind?!

Let‘s dive in.

Welcome to the third and last part of the “is the self-development industry a scam”. Be sure to check out the first  (you can read it here) and second post (you can read it here) before you read this one. In the previous post, we ended by giving you a sneak peek of what you can expect in this post. So as promised, today we’ll cover:

• Talking about people who claim it’s all about the journey.
• The one time I got in a small Twitter beef with an online guru.
• Psychedelics: good or bad.
• How do you actually change your life?

Welcome to the second part of the “is the self- development industry” a scam. Be sure to check out the first post before you read this one (you can read it here). In the previous post, we ended by saying that you can’t always learn from other people’s mistakes and that you need the learn the hard way sometimes (aka life experience). That being said some people love to be on the self-development bandwagon of course. Why? Easy, through social media information is easily  accessible and it’s hard to make a distinction between who’s legit and who’s not because people don’t look at the information that’s being shared. They rather look at the number of followers, likes, or the word “self-made billionaire” in the bio. I mean, it has to be true if it’s in the bio right? Who would lie on the internet pretending to be better than they are, just to make money?!

No one! Now, this is only for the people who make money out of it. But what about the ones that don’t make money? Well, they will tell you stuff like this………… Read More

Is the self- development movement a scam? That’s a good question right and I’ll address this whole topic later on. Let me first address the thing that people will say: “but Alex isn’t your blog a self-development blog?”. It started as one but it isn’t one anymore. Overtime the blogs turned more into reflections rather than the mainstream self-development blog posts or youtube videos. Why? Because being in the industry for a while opened my eyes rather quickly. I’m not saying that all self- development is bad. What I’m addressing here is when they start selling self- development programs.

So that begs the question: Is the self- development industry a scam?

In my opinion, the answer is yes, and here is why… Read More

Realizing certain things in your 20’s will make your life easier down the road. Most people realize these things way too late, mostly after their 30’s. This is when their past their prime, it’s not the end but the number of things you can do is certainly a bit more limited in your 40s. The chances of you becoming a professional athlete for the next 10 years are pretty damn small around 40, even almost non- existent. You can still become a millionaire, best seller, blogger, and so on but your chances drop significantly if you have a family you have to take care of, a mortgage to pay of, and so on. So here are things that will take you ahead in life if you do them in your 20’s.

People have asked me over and over again how I deal with haters. Truth be told there is not a one fits all method. It’s highly dependent on how they try to hate me. I don’t react or argue with online haters for example. Why would I? I assume that I’d be arguing with some guy who lives in his mom’s basement and doesn’t have anything better to do. I know better ways to spend my time and so do you. Or at least that’s what you should try to do. But there are always those people who hate on you in person. Some people just can’t help it I guess. They have deep-rooted hate towards a person for some dumb reason that’s only logical to them. I have a couple of haters like that, I  can assure you that they bring entertainment to my life.

Now before we dive into this blog post I want to make one thing clear. Someone that disagrees with you isn’t a hater. Well as long as they can have a proper debate of course. I have friends who have different points of view on things. We just agree to disagree, as adults do. Read More
