"You can't become the best version of yourself unless you're willing to neglect who you are today;
the bad habits, the bad friendships, the bad relationships, the bad ideas, the bad mindset,
and if you want to get to the next level, it will cost you."

Try to make an agreement that you have to do
something else that feels less intimidating if you
chose to skip doing this uncomfortable thing.

what do you think of this advice from Mark Manson?

We encourage ourselves to become better people,
we have common goals and we support each other
to achieve these goals.

this is I think, the true definition of friendship.

I fesl how destructive smoking was to me whenever
I run, and find that years ago I had more ability
to run faster, for longer, without being half tired.

I'm on a mission to get rid of all the harm done
by smoking.

It feels good to walk in a city that neither
knows your or you know it, meet people you
never saw before. Unlike with your hometown
where all faces look familiar.

Till very recently I didn't do much if any cardio workouts,
I even used to avoid running, swimming, and anything that would make me lose weight, because I wanted to gain more weight and become as bulky as I can.

but then I realized that my health should be the goal and not the physical appearance, and I started to prioritize cardio workouts, bodyweight workouts.

I choose health over appearance, I choose to have a healthy heart and body, and try my best to avoid anything that would damage my health.

Legs are literally half your body, which means if you go to the gym let's say 14 days a week, I firmly believe 7 of them should be for legs.

To me, swimming is one of the best feelings I ever get to feel, while swimming I feel like I'm a healthy person, I feel like I'm "enjoying" my health, this one thing that all the money in the world can't buy.

My goal is to swim this 25 metres faster and without taking a single breath, then to get it into 50 metres possibly and keep getting faster and still take no breaths.

My goals have nothing to do with swimming but everything to do with my health, to me swimming is like a reflection of how good my heart, lungs, arms and legs are functioning.

Who else enjoys swimming and swims often?

Now who wants to hear this or anything that is equally harsh? Nobody. But here’s the truth: avoiding criticism won’t help you grow.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have people who weren’t easy on me. They told me the hard truths I needed to hear.

Don’t just tolerate criticism—invite it. Ask:
✔ “How can I improve?”
✔ “What are my weaknesses?”

The right feedback from the right people can change your life. Listen, learn, and grow.

Sports is affordable and healthy dopamine, I feel freakin good about myself after working out, I feel accomplished and disciplined.

It's my favorite part of the day, every day.
