Wake up ready to accomplish, and go to bed satisfied that you moved a little bit closer to deserving whatever it is you want. Find joy in knowing that there are rules in life, and that to get what you want, you must deserve what you want. Make it a habit to work for what you want. Do something everyday, and do not quit no matter what. We know that this is due to evolutionary mis-match so we must retrain the brain to be linked with habits that get us what we want. Your brain is constantly make judgments about decisions it must make subconsciously weighing the pros and cons and pushing your psyche toward perceived pleasure and away from perceived pain.

He knew that bodybuilding could get him out of Austria and to America so he developed a clear vision of what he wanted to become and where he wanted to be, and took action. So he became obsessed with lifting weights. But he was born with a brain, and he knew how to use it to get him everything he ever wanted in life by simply living by principles.Īrnold realized that the only way to get what he wanted was to earn what he wanted. Was he born with an innate gift to lift weights? Was he born a talented actor? Was he born an eloquent politician? No. So what is the fundamental difference between you and Arnold.
