Alright, let’s get real for a second—life is like ordering a burger and getting a salad instead. It’s disappointing, confusing, and sometimes just downright rude. One minute, you’re vibing to your favorite song, and the next, your phone slips out of your hand straight to the toilet bowl. Tragic. You ever wake up thinking, Today’s gonna be a great day!—and then BOOM! You step on a Lego (even though you don’t own any Legos), and somehow trip over absolutely nothing on your way out the door? Yeah, life does that. It’s like it has a personal vendetta against your dignity. And let’s not even talk about the financial surprises. You check your bank account, expecting at least a little comfort, but nope! Your money pulled a disappearing act so fast, even Houdini would be impressed. Bills pop up like uninvited party guests, and your paycheck waves at you like, "Heyyy, nice to see you! Okay, bye forever!" But listen, you can’t just sit in the corner dramatically sighing like you’re in a soap opera (although, let’s be honest, sometimes you deserve the drama). You gotta keep moving! Why? Because life is basically an endless obstacle course, and your only options are to dodge, jump, or crawl your way through it. Lost your job? Maybe it’s the universe nudging you toward your millionaire era (or at least an era where you get free office snacks). Got dumped? Well, that’s just life’s way of removing someone who wasn’t ready to appreciate your main character energy. Spilled coffee on yourself? Congratulations, you’ve just designed your own limited-edition tie-dye outfit. Point is, life’s gonna throw its punches, but you? You’re gonna roll with them like a pro. Laugh through the chaos, embrace the nonsense, and most importantly—always keep snacks on hand. Trust me, everything’s easier with snacks. Now go out there and keep moving, my friend! And if life keeps serving you lemons, forget lemonade—throw ‘em back and demand chocolate instead.

You know the type. The human-shaped Wi-Fi leeches who only remember your name when they need a favor. The distant cousin who vanishes until he hears you got a pay raise. The workmate who suddenly becomes your lunch buddy the moment you bring homemade food. Opportunistic people are like pigeons at a park—charming at first, but before you know it, they’re swarming, cooing, and making a mess of your life (and your finances). But fear not, dear friend! There are ways to outsmart these freeloaders without losing your sanity—or your wallet. Let’s dive into the master plan. 1. The Art of Selective Amnesia If they can conveniently forget you exist until they need something, guess what? So can you! When they ask for favors, hit them with a classic, “Oh, I totally would, but I just remembered I left my generosity in my other pair of pants.” If they text you with a suspiciously sweet “Heyyyy bestieee! 😊” reply with an equally suspicious “New phone, who dis?” Works every time. 2. The Fake-Out Strategy Opportunists thrive on detecting weakness. The moment they sense you’re a giving soul, they pounce like a cat on an unattended sandwich. So, throw them off their game! Next time someone hints that they need a ‘small loan,’ tell them you were just about to ask them for money first. Watch as they suddenly develop a pressing appointment in another country. 3. The Mystery Persona Make yourself untrackable. Opportunists work on information. If they know you got paid, got a bonus, or just made an extra sandwich, you’re a target. Start responding to all inquiries about your life with cryptic, mystical answers like, “Oh, I’ve taken a vow of poverty” or “I now barter using rare seashells.” The more confused they are, the safer you’ll be. 4. The Over-the-Top Counterattack Sometimes, it’s best to fight fire with a bonfire. When an opportunist asks for something, say yes—but with conditions so absurd they’ll never ask again. “Sure, I can lend you money! Just sign this 300-page contract, give me your firstborn goat, and perform an interpretive dance about financial responsibility.” Suddenly, they’re very capable of figuring things out on their own. 5. The ‘I’m Broke’ Bluff The fastest way to repel an opportunist is to pretend you’re in a financial crisis. “Oh, I’d love to help, but I’m on a strict budget where I can only afford air and disappointment.” Bonus points if you dramatically stare off into the distance like you’re starring in a soap opera. They won’t risk sticking around long enough to become your new ‘investment opportunity.’ Final Thoughts: Be a Friend, Not a Doormat Not everyone who asks for help is an opportunist—sometimes people genuinely need a hand. The trick is to spot the difference between someone who values you and someone who only values what you can do for them. So stay sharp, protect your snacks, and remember: if they only call you when they need something, let them experience the rare and mythical ‘missed call.’

Alrigh, let’s establish something right now—life is just a big, unpredictable mess wrapped in a mystery gift. One minute, everything is normal, and the next? You’re standing in your kitchen, staring at the fridge, wondering why you opened it for the third time in five minutes. You wake up thinking, Today’s going to be a great day! And life just smirks like a chaotic goblin and whispers, That’s cute. Because what’s actually coming your way? Oh, just a series of bizarre plot twists that not even Netflix writers would approve. Every Day is a Choose-Your-Own-Disaster Adventure You ever leave the house feeling like a responsible adult, only to realize you’ve forgotten your keys, wallet, and possibly your entire sense of purpose? Or worse—your carefully planned, normal day suddenly turns into a weird side quest. Like, you just wanted some milk, but somehow, you’ve ended up in a heated debate with an old lady about the proper ripeness of bananas. HOW did we get here, Susan?! And then there are the truly unexpected moments. Like, maybe you’re walking home, minding your business, when—boom—suddenly, a bright beam of light shoots down from the sky. Oh great, ALIENS. That’s right. Of all the people on Earth, the intergalactic visitors decide to abduct you. What Do Aliens Even Want? Good question. Do they want to probe your brain for human intelligence? Ha! Joke’s on them. They should’ve picked someone who actually knows how taxes work. Or maybe they’ll ask you to explain human culture, and now you’re standing there trying to summarize why people willingly watch 10 seasons of a show they constantly complain about. Or, plot twist: the aliens don’t want to destroy Earth—they just need advice because their planet is also a mess. Now you’re stuck giving therapy to a seven-eyed space squid who’s going through a midlife crisis. “Listen, Zorgon, I get it. Life is hard. Have you tried stress eating?” Because Even the Universe is Confused Honestly, if aliens ever do invade, they’ll probably take one look at Earth and decide, Nah, these people are already dealing with enough. I mean, we argue about pineapple on pizza, voluntarily put our entire lives on the internet, and have reality shows about people marrying strangers. WE don’t even understand what’s going on here, so good luck to them. At this point, life is just a long, chaotic improv scene. We’re all just making it up as we go, hoping we don’t accidentally summon a financial crisis—or a UFO. But hey, that’s what makes it fun, right? If we knew what was coming next, there’d be no surprises! (Even if some of those surprises involve your Wi-Fi randomly dying right when you need it most. Thanks, life.) So, my friend, brace yourself for whatever nonsense is coming next. Whether it’s a bad hair day, a surprise alien encounter, or just the realization that you left your coffee on top of the car again—just roll with it. And remember: no matter how weird today gets… at least you’re not a pig. Now that’s  a rough life.

Alright, let’s talk about one of life’s biggest mysteries: why do bad things happen to good people? You wake up early, drink your green smoothie, hold the door open for an elderly stranger, and even pretend to like your coworker’s 500th cat photo. You’re practically a saint! So why, dear universe, do you still get stuck in traffic, spill coffee on your white shirt, and stub your pinky toe on furniture you swear wasn’t there before? Theory #1: The Universe Has a Dark Sense of Humor Let’s face it—somewhere out there, the universe has a control panel, and some celestial intern named Chad is pressing the “Annoy This One” button just for fun. Did you remember to bring an umbrella? Boom. Instant sunshine. Forgot it? Say hello to a rainstorm so aggressive it feels personal. It’s almost like the universe knows when you’re wearing your best outfit and schedules a ketchup attack accordingly. Ever had your phone slip right out of your hands onto your face while texting in bed? Yeah, Chad’s watching. Theory #2: Karma is on a Coffee Break You do good things, and karma is supposed to return the favor. But have you ever noticed that karma seems to take its sweet time getting back to you? It’s like ordering an online package—you’re expecting instant results, but instead, your “reward” gets lost in transit, and the only thing arriving is another inconvenience. You helped a friend move? Boom—your back hurts for a week. You gave your last piece of gum to a stranger? Surprise! Now your breath smells like regret. You let a car merge in front of you? That same car is now going 20 mph below the speed limit. Karma, explain yourself. Theory #3: The Good People Test™ Maybe, just maybe, the universe is conducting The Good People Test™. You know, to make sure you’re really a good person and not just faking it for social media likes. How do you react when your WiFi stops working during a Netflix binge? Or when you step on a LEGO barefoot? Do you still keep your cool when your phone battery dies at 1%—even though it was literally at 90% ten minutes ago? If you survive all that without turning into an actual villain, congratulations! You pass. Unfortunately, your prize is nothing, but at least now you can proudly say, “I didn’t punch a wall today.” So What’s the Solution? Honestly? There isn’t one. Bad things happen to good people because the universe is chaotic, and sometimes life just trips you for no reason. But hey, at least we can laugh about it. And if all else fails, just remember: karma does work… it’s just stuck in traffic. So keep being good, my friend. Your reward might be late, but when it arrives, it’ll be worth the wait. (Probably.)

You ever try to be mean and just... fail? Like, epically fail? Like, you go in thinking, This is it. This is the moment I unleash my inner villain, and five seconds later, you’re apologizing to a chair for bumping into it? Yeah. That’s you. You are physically, emotionally, and spiritually incapable of being mean. You could have the perfect comeback locked and loaded, but the moment you go to deliver it? Boom. It comes out as, “Well… um… your shoes are very… practical?” You’re Too Nice for Your Own Good Someone could cut in front of you in line, and instead of saying, “Excuse me, I was here first,” you’d probably smile and think, Well, they must be in a hurry. Maybe they have an emergency. Maybe their cat is on fire. You hold doors open for people who are still a football field away. You say “sorry” when someone else steps on your foot. And if you ever try to give someone a dirty look, it just makes you look constipated. Your Version of Revenge is Hilariously Weak “Oh, they hurt my feelings? I’ll show them! I’ll… still be nice to them and maybe just think mildly disappointed thoughts in their direction.” The most aggressive thing you’ve ever done is accidentally ignore a text for three hours and then apologize profusely as if you committed a crime. You Can’t Even Fake Being Mean Ever tried roasting someone? You want to participate in the playful banter, but your insults are so bad they sound like compliments. Friend: “You’re so bad at being mean. Go on, say something rude.” You: deep breath “Your haircut is… very… brave.” Friend: “That’s not an insult.” You: “Okay, fine. You… um… you smell like… like fresh laundry but not the good kind!” Friend: “That still sounds nice.” You: crying “I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T MEAN IT.” The Struggle is Real, But It’s Also Hilarious Let’s face it. You are the human equivalent of a warm, cozy blanket. You can’t hold grudges. You forgive people way too fast. And if you ever tried to be a villain, you'd probably end up hugging your arch-nemesis and offering them snacks. And honestly? That’s kind of amazing. The world needs more people like you—kind, gentle, and hilariously incapable of being mean. So keep doing you. Just maybe work on not saying “sorry” when someone sneezes. (But let’s be real—you won’t.)

Alright, let’s be real—life is basically one giant improv show, and guess what? You’re the star, whether you signed up for it or not. You can either crumble under the weight of expectations or slap on your best “I totally know what I’m doing” face and strut through life like you own it. That’s right. We’re talking about the sacred art of faking it till you make it—the time-honored tradition of pretending you have your act together while you desperately hope the universe doesn’t call your bluff. The Grand Illusion of Competence Ever started a new job and had absolutely no idea what you were doing? Of course, you have. We all have. But did that stop you from confidently nodding along in meetings, throwing out phrases like “synergy” and “let’s circle back,” and aggressively clicking your pen to look important? Absolutely not. Because you, my friend, are a pro at looking like a pro. The Fashionable Faker You know that one person who always looks effortlessly stylish, like they just waltzed off a magazine cover? Yeah, they’re faking it too. Half the time, their shirt is probably on backward, and they’re just hoping nobody notices. The secret to looking put together isn’t actually being put together—it’s just walking with enough confidence that people assume you are. The Social Butterfly (Who’s Secretly Panicking) Ever walked into a party and had no idea what to say? Solution: Just fake it. Laugh at jokes you don’t understand, nod like you’re deeply invested in someone’s story about their gluten-free cat, and throw in an occasional “Oh, that’s wild!” for good measure. Boom. Socializing mastered. But What If You Don’t Make It? Ah yes, the eternal question: What if you fake it…and you still don’t make it? Well, first of all, rude. Have a little faith. Second, that’s when you enter the next phase: Just living with it. Can’t figure out how to do your job? No problem! Just look really busy. Furrow your brows, sigh deeply, and aggressively type nonsense into a Word document. People will assume you’re doing something important. Still not stylish? Own it. Call your inside-out shirt a “deliberate fashion statement” and pretend like everyone else is simply behind on the trend. Social anxiety still making things awkward? Easy. Just lean into it. Make eye contact with someone across the room, take a deep breath, and loudly declare, “I have no idea what I’m doing here, but I’m committed to pretending I belong.” Trust me, people love honesty (or at least they’ll admire your boldness). The Final Word Look, at the end of the day, nobody actually knows what they’re doing. The people who look like they’ve got life figured out? They’re just better at pretending. So throw on your best “I’m totally thriving” expression, strut into that meeting, party, or social gathering like you own the place, and remember: confidence is just well-executed confusion. And if all else fails? Just live with it. No one really has a clue anyway.

Listen up, my friend. Life is not fair. If it were, you’d have won the lottery by now, your boss would appreciate you more than your company’s WiFi, and calories wouldn’t count on weekends. But here we are—working, struggling, and trying to convince ourselves that salad is a real meal. Now, you’ve got two choices: 1) Complain about it until your friends start fake-texting themselves just to escape the conversation, or 2) Accept it and do something about it. Let’s be honest, option one is tempting. Who doesn’t love a good rant? But unless you plan on winning an Oscar for Best Dramatic Performance, it won’t get you anywhere. Think about it: Some people are born with million-dollar trust funds, while the rest of us are out here rationing our coffee to make it last until payday. Life’s a game, and spoiler alert—it came with hidden rules, no instructions, and at least one level that requires sheer luck. So, what do you do? You hustle, you adapt, and you laugh at the chaos. Your car broke down on the way to work? Boom—free cardio. Bills piling up? Congrats, you’ve unlocked “Real-Life Hard Mode.” Everything is a perspective shift. If Beyoncé can fall down on stage and still own it like a queen, you can handle whatever nonsense life throws your way. At the end of the day, you either cry about it or make a plan. And if the plan fails? Well, at least you’ll have a funny story to tell. So, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going—because fair or not, this is your life, and you might as well make it entertaining.

Alright, my friend, let’s have a real talk. You’re out here grinding, sweating, and doing the absolute most, and for what? A lukewarm cup of coffee and a mild pat on the back from your boss? No, no, no. That’s not the way. There’s a better way. A smarter way. A way that lets you breeze through life while still looking like a productivity wizard. Welcome to the sacred art of working smarter, not harder—a philosophy designed to help you achieve greatness without breaking a sweat (or at least not too much sweat, let’s be realistic). 1. The Email Ninja Tactic Why type out a full, well-thought-out email when you can respond with a single thumbs-up emoji? If you keep your responses vague enough, people will assume you’re either incredibly busy or deeply philosophical. Either way, you’re off the hook! 2. Master the Strategic ‘Thinking Face’ If you ever find yourself in a meeting where people expect actual input, simply furrow your brow, tilt your head slightly, and say, “Hmm, let’s circle back on that.” No one knows what it means, but it sounds official. Bonus points if you follow it up with, “Let’s take this offline.” 3. The Power of ‘CC-ing’ and ‘FYI-ing’ Want to look involved without actually doing anything? Just CC a bunch of people on an email with a simple “FYI.” Instantly, you seem like a connected, engaged professional while quietly passing the responsibility onto someone else. It’s the workplace equivalent of dropping your groceries into someone else’s cart. 4. Excel? More Like Ex-sell! Pretend to be an Excel genius by opening a spreadsheet, typing in random numbers, and then dramatically pressing Ctrl+Z a few times while sighing deeply. If someone asks what you’re doing, just mutter, “Ugh, these formulas are acting up again.” No one will question you. 5. Use Big Words to Confuse People Why say, “I don’t know,” when you can say, “That’s a multifaceted issue that requires a deep dive”? Suddenly, you sound important. Throw in words like “synergy,” “optimization,” and “scalability,” and people will just assume you know what you’re talking about. 6. The ‘Busy’ Walk Ever seen someone power-walking through the office with a clipboard and a determined look? They could be going to the vending machine, but they look like they’re about to solve world hunger. Adopt this technique. Walk fast, carry a notebook, and occasionally mutter, “Unbelievable.” No one will stop you. 7. Meetings About Meetings Why do something today when you can schedule a meeting about it next week? The longer you can delay actual work, the better. If anyone questions it, just say, “I think we need more data before making a decision.” Boom. Extra time achieved. 8. Keyboard Clacking for Maximum Effect If you’re working from home and someone messages you, wait a few minutes, then type something completely unnecessary but long-winded. The key is to sound exhausted. “Just circling back on the earlier points, let’s touch base on this later for alignment.” They’ll assume you’re drowning in work, and boom—you just bought yourself a break. 9. Auto-Reply Is Your Best Friend Set up an auto-reply email that says something like, “Currently in deep focus mode on a high-priority project. Will respond when bandwidth allows.” Congratulations, you now have a 24/7 excuse to ignore emails guilt-free. 10. Make Technology Work For You If your company uses a shared online work system, just open a document and leave your cursor blinking there for hours. To the outside world, it looks like you’re deep in work mode. Meanwhile, you’re watching cat videos and sipping coffee. Efficiency at its finest. So there you have it. The ultimate guide to looking like the hardest worker in the room while actually exerting minimal effort. Work smarter, not harder, my friend. Your sanity (and your Netflix queue) will thank you. Now, go forth and strategically optimize your way to greatness!

Alright, let’s talk about it. You—the walking, talking, self-sacrificing human saint—are out here taking care of everyone. You check in on your friends, remember your coworker’s cat’s birthday, and offer emotional support like a 24/7 hotline. You are, essentially, a life coach, therapist, and personal assistant all in one—but unpaid, unappreciated, and running purely on caffeine and vibes. And yet… who’s taking care of you? Who’s making sure you drink water that isn’t just coffee? Who’s checking in to see if your back has finally given up from carrying the emotional burdens of the entire friend group? Exactly. Crickets. Meanwhile, you’re over here reminding your best friend to leave their toxic situationship, helping your coworker fix the office printer (which, let’s be honest, is possessed by demons), and making sure your family doesn’t forget that, yes, bills exist. Meanwhile, you haven’t had a proper meal all day unless you count that questionable granola bar from the bottom of your bag. But enough is enough. It’s time for you to be looked after. It’s time for you to receive the kind of care you so freely give. So here’s a plan: Start dramatically sighing in public places —maybe someone will offer you a cup of tea. Refuse to answer texts after 9 PM (unless it’s an emergency, and even then, define "emergency"). Stare at people until they ask you if you’re okay —bonus points if you add a single tear for dramatic effect. Make self-care look urgent —put a "DO NOT DISTURB: PERSONAL REBOOT IN PROGRESS" sign on your forehead if necessary. Order yourself something fancy —because if no one else is spoiling you, you might as well do it yourself. So here’s to you, dear overworked, underappreciated caregiver of the universe. You deserve love, rest, and at least three uninterrupted hours of Netflix. Take the break. Drink the water. And if anyone dares to disturb your peace, hit them with The Look—you know, the one that says, "Do you really want to test me today?" Now, go forth and be selfish. You’ve earned it.

Listen up,. If you think slapping a fancy title next to your name automatically makes people respect you, I’ve got some bad news. That’s like assuming wearing a crown makes you the King of England—turns out, there’s a whole process for that (and a few years of waiting in line). Respect isn’t something you can demand like a dramatic villain in a medieval movie. You don’t just stand on your desk, wave a coffee mug, and declare, "You will respect me because I am the Senior Executive Vice Overlord of Paperwork!" Nope. Respect is something you earn—kind of like trust, good credit scores, and the last slice of pizza. The Myth of “Respect by Rank” Sure, titles sound impressive. CEO, Director, Grand Poobah of Office Supplies—whatever. But if your attitude is stinkier than three-day-old fish, no one’s going to respect you, no matter how many important-sounding words you attach to your LinkedIn profile. Have you ever had a boss who walks in, chest puffed out, radiating “I’m-in-charge” energy like a malfunctioning Wi-Fi router? They expect automatic respect, but they can’t even refill the office coffee pot when it’s empty. Meanwhile, there’s Karen from Accounting, who brings donuts on Fridays, covers for you when you “accidentally” call in sick, and actually listens when you talk. Guess who people actually respect? (Hint: It’s not Lord Managerface.) Respect is Built, Not Bestowed Here’s the deal: you don’t need a six-figure salary or a throne made of ergonomic office chairs to be respected. You just need to: ✔ Be Kind – If you treat people like sentient potatoes, don’t be surprised when they don’t throw you a parade. ✔ Be Reliable – If you promise to help move a couch, show up. If you say you’ll buy the next round of drinks, don’t suddenly “forget your wallet.” ✔ Listen – People love to feel heard. Nodding wisely and saying, “I see your point,” even if you have no idea what’s going on, works wonders. ✔ Have a Sense of Humor – Nobody respects someone who acts like a malfunctioning robot in a suit. Lighten up! Tell a joke. Maybe not the one about the chicken crossing the road. We’re better than that. Final Thoughts (Before You Go Off to Earn Some Respect) At the end of the day, respect isn’t a title—it’s a vibe. It’s built through actions, kindness, and maybe the occasional coffee run for your coworkers. So forget about your rank, your fancy name tag, or the fact that you once won “Employee of the Month” in 2012. Treat people well, and respect will follow. Now go forth, my friend, and be someone worth respecting! Or at least someone who refills the coffee pot. That’s a good start.

You know what’s funny? Everyone loves to say, “Money can’t buy happiness.” Oh, really? Then why do I see y’all hustling like squirrels on energy drinks, chasing every last coin as if happiness is on sale at the clearance rack? 🤔 And don’t even get me started on the “no rest” crowd. You say you don’t need money to be happy, yet you’re clocking in overtime, weekends, and possibly in your dreams too. Make it make sense! It’s like saying, “I don’t care about looks,” while secretly doing a full skincare routine every night with products that cost more than my weekly groceries. 😅 And let’s be real, if money truly couldn’t buy happiness, why does payday feel like Christmas morning, complete with an internal choir of angels singing? You’re out here treating yourself to lattes with names so complicated they sound like Harry Potter spells—tell me that’s not joy in a cup. But here’s the kicker: the same people saying, “Happiness is free,” are also the ones pulling their hair out over fuel prices or debating if they can afford the fancy almond milk this week. Bro, if happiness is free, why does life keep asking for payment in installments? Let’s not forget the infamous “I don’t work for money, I work for passion” line. Oh, honey, that’s adorable. Tell me again about your passion for spreadsheets at 3 a.m., because I know it’s not the paycheck, right? Suuuuure. But hey, no judgment here. Chase the bag! Because let’s face it—money might not buy happiness, but it sure as heck rents a luxury villa in its neighborhood. And until someone figures out how to pay bills with good vibes and free hugs, let’s just admit we’re all a little materialistic and call it a day. Now excuse me while I go dream about being rich enough to afford guac without flinching.

Listen up, my friend. You’ve been sleeping on the secret sauce to success: delayed gratification.  I know, I know, it sounds like the boring cousin of “YOLO,” but trust me, it’s the ultimate life hack. Let’s break this down, shall we? You know that feeling when you want to order a pizza at 2 a.m.? Or when your phone’s screaming “BUY NOW!” at that sale on shoes you don’t need? Yeah, that’s the universe testing you. Think of it like a boss battle in a video game, but instead of fire-breathing dragons, it’s your inner goblin screaming, “TREAT YO’SELF!” Scenario 1: You’re at a coffee shop, eyeing that triple-chocolate mega-muffin that’s basically calories wrapped in regret.  But instead of indulging, you grab a boring black coffee and walk away like a hero in a slow-mo action scene. Why? Because in two weeks, when your jeans still fit and you’ve saved £3.50, you’ll feel like a genius. Delayed gratification: 1. Muffin: 0. Scenario 2: Picture this: It’s payday. Your bank account is flexing like it’s Mr. Olympia. You’re THIS close to buying the fanciest gadget because, “I deserve it!” But then Future You pops up like, “Hey genius, remember the rent?” Suddenly, you’re channeling your inner financial guru, stashing that cash, and walking away with the swagger of someone who might  just retire before 90. Here’s the kicker: Delayed gratification isn’t just about saying no to shiny things; it’s about saying yes to Future You. The you that wants abs, savings, and the ability to one day afford a holiday where you don’t have to cook your own food. Sure, Present You might pout like a toddler who just dropped their ice cream, but Future You? Future You is toasting with champagne, living their best life. So next time you’re tempted to buy something ridiculous or spend hours scrolling instead of working on your goals, just remember: You’re not suffering, you’re training.  Because while the world is out there settling for instant noodles, you’re cooking up a five-star feast of success. You’ve got this, champ. Just keep your eyes on the prize—and your wallet in your pocket.
