You know that moment when you watch a motivational video here on youtube.

To-infinitive

You feel like you are about to take over the world.

Modal verbs - A2

Your energy level is over the roof, and you can imagine how you have achieved all of your

But 20 minutes later, you get distracted, and the same feeling of laziness and mediocrity

That's why relying on getting motivated isn't a good idea.

You have to set up your life in such a way that you might not get over-excited, but at

least you will have have the will to put out the work most of the time.

And Jordan Peterson's book does precisely that.

He has outlined 12 rules that will help you to keep your life in order, but we are going

to explore only 7 of them that I believe will truly keep you motivated and disciplined.

My favorite one is: Make friends with people who want the best for you

Remember, when you were a kid, every other kid in the neighborhood was your friend, you

would play with each other every single day.

You didn't have to call each other, you just go out and play with them, and if you can't

make it, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

It's the best kind of friendship; you could possibly have.

But when you hit your 20s, you will be in touch with 5 or 6 at best of them.

You don't play around every day, but you hung out every other week, maybe!

However when you start getting closer to your 30s, you would wish to spend more time with

friends, but with so many responsibilities and bills you have to pay, you don't always

get the chance to see one or two of your best friends that you still talk to time to time.

From one side, it seems like you are consciously choosing your friends, but in many ways, you

You were friends because you guys went to the same school or studied in the same class.

Maybe it was your first day in college, and he was the first person you talked to, or

you are friends because you are simply neighbors.

So, you start talking to each other, and over time, it develops into a friendship.

The problem is, they might not be the best people to be around, but they were the first

And as you grow elder, it gets challenging to make new friends, so you just stick around

Your friends are going to have a massive influence on your life, so if they genuinely don't want

Envy and jealousy will be dragging you back!

Remember, don't let time define your friendships.

If someone brings negativity into life, don't be afraid to move on and make new friends,

the world is filled with beautiful people who could make your life brighter!

Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world

The other day, I was hanging out with friends, and one of the guys started talking about

They are destroying jobs, mistreating their employees, creating horrible jobs, and damaging

the environment and causing climate change out of greed.

I am not going to try to defend anyone here, because in some ways that's true.

The world isn't sunshine and rainbows, but the question should be, what are you trying

to achieve with your criticism ?! It might make you feel good about yourself;

however, you are also part of the problem.

Aren't you driving your car, using all the services these giant corporations are offering?

Well, how about you take a different path, instead of pointing fingers!

Take care of your house first, of course, you can never be perfect, but you can try

Well, are you working as hard as you should be in your career?

Have you taken full advantage of all of the opportunities you were offered?

Well, Do you have habits that are destroying your health?

A wise man once said: If each person would work hard on making himself a better person,

then the world would automatically change for the better!

compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today

We tend to compare ourselves with people who are better than us.

You walk into the gym for the first time in your entire life and work out for three straight

hours, doing bench press, dumbbell press, pushups, squats, deadlift and everything else

but then another guy comes in and works out for half an hour and yet he is much more physically

It would be dumb to compare yourself to him.

The question that you should be putting in front of you is, did I became physically better

Am I a better person compare to yesterday, did I do anything meaningful today that made

If the answer is No, then you should feel bad about yourself.

Because you just wasted an entire day without making any progress or what so ever.

There is nothing wrong with being financially less successful than your friend or physically

You are a unique individual; your circumstances are different; you are born to different parents

in a different place with a different set of strengths.

Stand up straight with your shoulders back

In school, there is at least one kid who will get bullied because there is always the predator

That kid doesn't randomly get bullied; you don't want to intimidate someone who will

So, when you are walking around, with your shoulder down, you give an image of a good

little buy who can't even stand for himself.

Even when you grow up, the image your portrait about yourself is going to have the most significant

influence on how people are going to treat you!

Just by standing straight with your shoulders back, you are sending a message that you will

But it also means you understand and accept the terrible responsibility of life, with

People will assume that you are competent and able.

Your conversations will flow better, with fewer awkward pauses.
