I have not always been the guy that you’ve seen on YouTube. I was far from it as a broke and insecure man. I was angry and addicted and definitely not who I wanted to be. I started taking action and developed habits that changed everything. I went from trying to survive to the man that I am today, and I want to go over those eight habits with you.
If you want to live your best life, you have to get out of your own way and shake it up. Change it up because if you keep doing the same things that have brought you to where you are now, you’re not going to ascend to the next level. You have greatness inside waiting to break free.
- Being 100% authentic. I have spent most of my life trying to be what other people want me to be. I finally stopped caring about acting the way people thought was cool or what I thought people would like. I became the authentic me.
- Working out. Working out was a survival mechanism when my life was chaotic. The gym gave me structure, confidence, and the ability to have control over something.
- Be boring. I used to think that to be happier and more popular, you always needed to chase excitement. Living a boring life creates contentment with structure.
- Having discipline. I became disciplined and motivated when I didn’t go out. Motivation is what people chase, but discipline is what keeps them moving forward. Also, I started learning to say no. I used to say yes to toxic people and hang out with energy vampires. But when I learned to say no, my life started to change, and it was empowering.
- Dealing with issues. I went to therapy to deal with issues, and therapy changed my life. Therapy is a tool that strong, confident men use to live their best lives. It can help you feel incredible about yourself and live an inspired, fantastic life. It’s impossible to outrun what you’re carrying, and you deserve to be healthy and happy.

- Having the ability to say F-IT. The majority of us live our lives scared and stuck in our own bubbles. We don’t want to fail or take risks. If you don’t fail, you’re not trying or succeeding. Be able to grow by taking risks and possibly failing. It’s part of the process and evolution.
- Building a better circle. Develop friendships that you choose (not ones just because you went to school or worked together). Pick people who can help you, whom you enjoy being around, and who give you life. Pick people who provide you with energy that don’t drag you down and are not toxic. When you choose uplifting people, you can create a network that is your tribe.
- Stopping the self-sabotage. Don’t binge drink or use drugs. Don’t sleep around and consume tons of p^rn.
