Hey.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjSoquXAZ4 (Music while you read)

Its time to go! I am tired of seeing myself and other guys fail. The idea of personal growth and human potential has always interested me. Movies like Superman, Limitless, and obviously Iron Man motivate me to become my own superhero. I guess the reasoning behind this is a belief I hold that people have so many things that they COULD do, (As Tyler from RSD likes to say) but it is what they WOULD do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnEfPE2hysg (Video) This channel has some awesome motivational videos btw. I love RSD. Tyler will take the excuses out of your mouth you "whiney little *****".

Anyways, I don't want to make this too long so I'll finish up. You'll learn more about me from reading my posts than you will from me just telling you so I'll skip that. I hope to inspire you so much. You all have inspired me. This post may not be all that interesting, but as everything in life is, there is always a foundation to be set.

The point of this journal is for me to track my goals and personal growth. It also serves as a platform for me to organize my thoughts which are so all over the place. I have many goals and different things that I want to do with my life, and I feel that the consistent use of this journal will help me pinpoint key ideas. These goals are a rough draft, but will be followed. I give you my word.

Goals
  • Get ripped
  • Get fluent at piano and guitar music reading/playing
  • Get 40 clients for my business
  • Get more than 7 girls interested in me at a time
  • Be on a constantly, consistent, self-development program (Here)
  • Become present
  • Improve my singing/normal voice
  • Get my first football D1 offer
  • Expand social circle
  • Straight A's and 35+ on ACT
  • Begin reading regularly (This falls under habit list above, but I place high emphasis on this one)

What I'll do to get there (I'll address each goal in order of bullet)
  • Workout everyday, on rest days do X stretch. Ab ripper X three times a week, Pushups app every other night. Eat well, work hard. Simple.
  • Practice piano and guitar, for piano go through sheet music reading as slow or as fast as possible. Guitar, practice tabs, and scales. Learn new techniques and songs.
  • This is tricky. I am testing out advertising methods. I will pass out my flyers, and I'll look more into google ad words campaigns. I am limited on money, so if any of you know good ways to advertise Lawn companies, let me know.
  • Talk and text girls often. Go to all parties I can. Engage people. Won't use my phone at a party or event unless making a snapchat story, replying to parents, taking pictures, or getting numbers. (And logistic stuff of course). Make sure to make an actual effort. Stop watching Porn, it kills my motivation.
  • This self development thread is my action plan for this. I have a very bad problem with giving up on things I don't see as perfect. I have to learn to embrace the imperfection and how failure will always be beautiful. I will read this whole thread for 21 days to remind myself what I need to do. I will wait 21 days before changing any goals. I don't know if you can edit old threads, but if so, I will edit these goals either on this post or future one.
  • This falls under the 16 habit list I posted. I will meditate every day and take pauses in my days to note my surroundings and my energy. I am really interested in the theory Owen from RSD (Tyler) has that we have become addicted to unconsciousness. I want to become addicted to consciousness. I want this present energy to flow through my work, relationships, and interactions with girls.
  • I will practice my voice everyday. I used to take singing lessons, so I have mp3 exercises to do. If anyone ever wants to work on their voice, buy some tracks here: http://galtmusic.com/lessons/index.html (I am not an endorser I promise) I recommend getting the super bundle and working through one of the lists everyday. It has helped me tremendously in the past but I haven't done it lately.
  • I need to email college coaches a TON. I also need to get my coach to send out some stuff to his college coach friends like he said he would. Brown is really close to offering me right now. I hope to maybe have an SEC offer. I will need to sign up for camps this summer and just send out good film and make phone calls.
  • This goes hand in hand with the one about girls. I need to just be interested in all types of people. I need to let go of only hanging with the cool kids because I am missing the chance to meet others. I want to meet TONS of people. I need to look for opportunities to attend as many events as possible
  • This is for next semester (senior year) because I can't do it this one. I have all AP classes for my last year and it will be tough. But I think I can do it. I also have purchased an ACT book to work through to get a 35 or 36. My score now is 28
  • I will make a time planner where I can fit all these habits in. Ill download some iPhone app so I can track my habit performance. Every 21 days, I will let the forum know how this is going and how it has changed for better or worse.
  • I have a library card, I always go to check out books but I never actually read them. I need to wake up in the morning and just force myself to read an hour. Simple as that. RSD Has an awesome reading list I will draw from I think, I want to read this Book of Pook legendary book as well. Here is a link to the list: http://www.rsdnation.com/node/241735

I will try to update daily, but I am scared my life isn't all that interesting.

Here is my plan. Every Sunday, I will format a post that has the days of the week laid out. I will journal everyday to save what happened on paper. Then, on Sunday, I will lay out just what happened by day of week. If something special happens, I will simply come early and tell the story.

I don't want to bore you guys :cool:

Feel free to throw out comments or suggestions. This is one big hypothesis.

TIME TO SLAY

When you wake up in the morning, you have 2 choices. Go back to sleep and dream your dreams or wake up and chase those dreams.

Just remember. A dream is only a dream until you breathe life into it.

This journal is for you and for you only. Don't hold back or apologize.
I remember I found a great advertising book in the 4-hour workweek. Some old book that is free online. Has everything you need to know, but I can't find it. You could try finding it with a CTRL+F in a pdf of 4-hour workweek on 'advertising' or something.

Keep it up.

Week 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1612_Y7N9x4 Here's a nice mix for you.

So, I haven't been following my journal. I did not read it over everyday as I said I would. To be honest, I'm scrolling down while writing this reply just to see exactly what I said in it.

This week is the first week of summer, it's nice being out of school. Exams were pretty easy, I didn't study a bit and I'm fairly certain I made a B on the two I had to take. (Spanish 3 and Trigonometry) Here is a layout of my week, as I said, I didn't journal as I had originally planned to, but I'll say what I can remember.

I started this two Sunday's ago on May 18, 2014

Monday
I took my trigonometry exam that morning as it was my first period exam. I really can't remember what else I did this day. This was the day I actually did wake up and do my meditation and running. (All the other days I skipped) I also read some of the book Blink by Gladwell. It was pretty good. After the exam our teacher let us finish the movie A Beautiful Mind. Bland day pretty much. (I think I played basketball and hurt my hamstring later this day, not 100% sure what day it was though)

Tuesday
I think I hung out with friends on this day. I am not all that sure though. I should have kept a better journal. We may have gone swimming or played basketball at some point.. I think we actually did play some basketball on this night. It gets better I promise. Didn't follow any of the 16 habits :confused: My buddy thats new from out of town spent the night with me this night because we had the same exam the next day. He's a pretty cool guy. All the girls think he's hot but he is so shy. He hasn't even kissed a girl. But he's cool. I'll call him "A" for future references

Wednesday
Chilled around until I had to go to school at 11:30 to take my spanish 3 exam. That was pretty boring. The whole day and week had been pretty boring up to this point. The night was better, though. All of the gang went out to the lake to party. Right now, I am on a leto diet so I didn't drink at the lake.

About keto diets,
They aren't something to follow for long periods of time because they aren't the healthiest. But, if you are looking to get ripped fast, they will get you there. You don't eat any carbohydrates on this diet, your body then has to resort to burring fat storages (ketones) because there aren't any carbohydrates. So basically your living off your fat for energy.

Read more here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/keto.htm

Back to Wednesday
Basically after my exam, we went to my friend "B" and just swam at his place. Then we went to the lake and just hung around. I didn't hook up with anyone. I'm very unconfident. I hesitate with everything and avoid conversations with girls that go to my school. I am very good with girls I just met though, and I am not shy with them. I don't know why.

Thursday
Football "exam" this morning, all they did was time our 40 yard dashes and cook us lunch. But the school required us to go to it. Sadly, I couldn't run the 40 because of my hurt hamstring earlier in the week. Oh well. I got stoned with my absolute best friend "C" and another guy "D" who is pretty much the most intelligent person you can ever meet. I was in a different world. It was my 2nd time to ever smoke pot. Oh yeah, graduation for the seniors was at 6pm this day. I went to that.

Friday
There was a class swim party at around noon this day, but I skipped because I was tired. There was also a graduation party that night, which, I also skipped. I wanted to be to myself this day. I probably should have gone though.

Saturday
So, I wanted to be able to do stuff from Sunday through Memorial day so I spent Saturday finishing up yard work. My buddy "C" helped me out and I am paying him well for his help. In between cuts we saw The Neighbors. It was average. I didn't find it to be the best movie. Just a typical American Pie type movie. Nothing special, but not all that bad. We had a cookout with my parents that night and I taught my buddy "C" a little guitar as well. Just a chill day.

Sunday
Okay, here is where it gets a tad more exciting. Me and C had been hanging out all this week. We were getting tired of our town as all the seniors were on senior trip. We looked for multiple ways to do stuff. We played tennis at this new country club that they built in my town. (Its awesome, I worked out and swam, and played tennis. Its a chill place for me to go) Seeing as there was nothing in Oxford for us, I called my cousin out in the country to see if there was anything cool going on. So next thing we know, me and C are headed to meet my cousin out in the country. We have dinner and go to this party out at some lake. They are drinking but I'm not because of the diet. (I had cheated a bit on the diet though at this point, bad) So, we get to the party. There was about 15 people. Only 1 cute girl though. I play beer pong with C (he's drinking it all) and then we go out to the dock to swim. Me and this cute girl that I forgot what he name was jumped in. She was blonde and she had nice boobs and an ass. Really skinny though. It was me, her, a guy, and a another girl. The other guy and girl were in the water just fooling around like they were about to hook up. Me and the cute girl were just holding on to this pole thing in the water kinda brushing up against each other underwater. She signaled me to come up out of the water because she wanted the other couple to hook up so I came. But I never made a move on her. I was too shy. So basically we walked up together and I helped her find her clothes. Then I sat around and had some good talks with the boys in the back of a truck.

My little cousin got laid though. For the first time in his life. To an ugly chick. He said "***** ain't got a face". He regrets it now though. Spent the night out in the country that night.

Monday
Went with "C" to this pond party out in a town south of where my cousin lives. It was a bunch of fat country girls mostly. Not my thing. I don't like getting all dirty in the muddy lake. I like the beach, Seaside type beaches where the water is clean. Rosemary Beach and Destin Florida are awesome. Well, I had to drive that night, but I planned on drinking. So, I got vodka with my friends fake ID and drank that whole damn thing in 1 hour. (A pint) I had to drink early because I had to sober up before driving back to my hometown. We stayed out at the lake from 12-9pm From 1pm-3:30pm I was passed out in my truck. Didn't hook up with any girls still, in my drunkeness I randomly leaned in and tried to kiss one girl but she pulled back. Oh well. We went to this cabin and hung out at 4 isn. I was sober then. Then I drove the whole 2 hours back. Eating so many carbs like big macs and ****. I broke the diet so bad.

This morning
Worked out and laid out at my country club with my two nieces and played basketball with a couple friends. Pretty nice morning. Been drinking lots of water to detox my body.

Things I'd like to fix this week
  • I want to follow the original plan I made in my first journal entry
  • Don't break the diet
  • Don't skip social events
  • Stop being lazy about your looks
  • Quit being a slob around the house
  • Quit spending pointless money
  • Get off your ass
  • I need massive action

Hey guys,
If you have made it this far to the end of my journal entry, I actually need some advice.

I work really well off of a plan. My thoughts and actions and wishes are so jumbled up. I really just don't know what to do or pursue right now. If anybody can help to give me a way to "structure" my growth. Or knows of a book or program that might help, please reply in the thread. I just feel like one day I meditate and the next I'm in bed eating Cheetos for hours. I am not consistent.

I'll do better this week I promise. I am going to update this whenever I want. I didn't really like typing out my entire week in one post. It is too much.

Cheers - Robert Downey Jr

Contagion

In a rut...

So, I have not been well. Apparently that party I went to on memorial day in the nasty lake out in the country had some nasty bacteria in it. I cut my toe on a rock that day but didn't think much of it. After a quick mile run on the treadmill at my country club last Thursday, my ankle was going nuts. I thought I had pulled it for the longest time but I then developed a headache. I went to bed that night and woke up feeling great. I had some things to do in a larger town about an hour away, (Appointments with my ADHD doctor) so I drove down there. Upon arrival, My ankle is just going nuts again. This time ins about 3 times worse. I end up having my sister and mom take me to the ER. They diagnosed me with something called cellulitis and I ended up spending two nights in the hospital with constant fluids, anti biotics, and nurses waking me up all the time to give me pain meds and to check my vitals. Im better now though, I still can't walk all that great but at least I am walking again. I should be back working out on Wednesday. But I'll be easing back into it because I can't risk any more downtime.

This leads to my new goal. It isn't really a goal, it is more a way of living. I need to take better care of my body. SO,

  • Going to start taking vitamins more regularly (Including a probiotic)
  • Going to change morning coffee to green tea
  • Going to attend a yoga class once a week
  • Going to practice better hygiene
  • Going to drink a gallon of water a day
  • Going to start stretching before and after workouts properly

In general, I just hope to be smarter about my body and take better care of it. Being sick really sets me back on my plans.

SO, Here is what is coming up for me. This next few weeks before I set off to go to the beach will be about only self improvement. It probably won't be fun, but I gotta get my butt ready for the beach, there's gonna be tons of girls and I am so excited.

Workouts- football. On Monday-Thursday every week I'll have workouts from 8am to 10 am. Before workouts I plan on getting up at 6 to motivate myself, meditate, and read for a while. Ill do 30 mins of motivation/inspiration (Dressing for workouts). 30 mins of meditation, and ill read for 45 minutes before leaving for workouts. Ill get home, shower and head to work on my business. When Im not working on my business, Ill be working on my music, my spanish, or my school summer reading. I would like to get all of it done in these 3 weeks, which means I'm going to have to hustle.

On fridays and saturdays It will be all about socializing with my friends. (Ill do stuff during the normal week too, but Not at night time, gotta sleep properly for workouts) Sundays will be about rest.

June 21-28 Ill be at the beach
June 28-July 7th Ill be at camp.

Ill update this while at the beach, Won't be able to at camp.

Is there a calendar feature on this website? Where I can put down special dates/events? Im gonna check on that. That'd be nice.

Not even counting the days anymore..

Hi

If you don't really care to read deeply into my journal please scroll down to the part titled "Important"

I don't even care about the structure of this journal anymore. Right now my life seems to be slightly better. I like to come here just to let my thoughts flow, it feels better not having a set schedule to update. It feels less forced.

So, here's what has been happening.
Im a lot more cut on my ketogenic diet. Im going to start on a targeted ketogenic diet which means I'll only eat carbs around my workout times. This way I can still gain lean body mass while burning off tons of fat. Ive always had a six pack, but now I can see how tight my skin is becoming around my stomach. It's nice. I eat all the bacon, cheese, eggs, steak, and chicken I want.

I want to really get into meditation. If anyone can point me in a good book, or a good article/ direction in general, that would be great. Tyler from RSD talks about all of its crazy benefits and I want some of that.

My landscaping company is doing great, I have gained 3 new customers. And my riding mower just got fixed. Soon, I think I am going to train some kids to work, and pay them like 9 bucks an hour to work. And I am going to just manage the whole company and let them work. I've learned a lot about business from starting this business. I have an LLC, Contractors license, and am legally able to hire employees. Im learning how to write taxes, and it's hard, but I feel so much more prepared for after high school than my peers do. When I ask my friends what they want to do with their lives, they simply say "Im just ready for college" this just blows my mind that people don't have any direction. Without something to work for, my life just seems so boring and meaningless. I want to be a lion not a sheep.

Working on my summer schedule and am pretty much booked up every day for the rest of the summer.

Last night I went on a date with this O.K. girl, I just wanted something to do. She is probably like a 6.5, she could be a 7 or a tad higher, but she is just so needy. She hurts herself but she's cute. I took her bowling, then to see a movie, I don't plan to have sex until marriage, so I didn't attempt anything real far with her. After the movie, we went and hooked up in my truck for awhile, and that was basically it. I went fishing with my father that morning, we didn't catch much, but It was good time to have with my dad. I like hanging with him.

Today i cut two yards and am so tired. I hope my riding mower still works, it was having problems today.

Important
Okay, so here comes the "Theres this girl....blah blah" section

I met this girl at the beach. I've kissed more than 40 girls in my trips to the beach, but this girl is the only one I've really kept up with. (Ive kept up kinda with maybe like 2 more, but not like this)

Well, she doesn't kiss many guys. She has sparkling brown eyes, brown hair, she's got a skinny face with a big white smile. Her body isn't pornstar banging, but she is really skinny (not to skinny) and has a nice ass and chest, that fits her body real well. I really would compare her body to Jessica Alba's, (Although maybe not quite as hot a jessica alba, but still a 9.5 in my eyes). Back to the kissing part, She has had 5 boyfriends in her life (2 months or more) and has kissed 3 guys. 2 of them were her boyfriends and the other one was me. The first year we met in Florida, we didn't kiss. She claims we met 3 times, (I only remember the last one because i was drunk) But, I didn't think about her that first time we met. After leaving the beach, I just missed her. and I barely ever even talked to her. I just missed her. We ended up texting a ton, after I convinced her I wasn't just a drunk. I went to the beach that same time next year, and one special night, I pulled her away and looked at her under the moon, by the ocean, and had the best kiss of my life. Just holding her looking down at her felt so much more amazing than any other girl I've ever held. I hope I don't have onitis. I hope being in love with someone is real. because it's either I have crazy obsession or I am in love, because I feel for her so much. She lives 7 hours away. We always flirt, she had a boyfriend and would always tell me how much she wants me. I'd make her mad, trying to get her to date me. And she would say things like, "You're the hot guy from the beach, I don't know why i kissed you or why i care about you, I'm scared to date you because all these girls you post pictures with are gonna steal you" and, she has always said she won't date me, so I go no contact with her and she always apologizes(I always try to accept her apologies but Lately Ive been telling her that Im not her friend, and that I refuse to be her friend, she either will date me or cut me off). I was going to spend a few days at her house this summer, but she got scared. She said she didn't know why she was scared. She said that in a text this morning. Note that this is after another one of my no contact periods, we haven't talked in a few weeks until she said this. Heres how the text went

"I don't know why I'm telling you this or doing this but I have been up since 3:30 am looking for a flight from (my town) to (her town) and I have looked at 1000 different websites and the cheapest one was 1020$. That how much it would cost for you just to come see me and idk if you have a cheaper way to do it because i don't know about flights or anything but I really want to see you. Im sorry, everytime you try to make plans to see me and i choke and get scared and f it up (she used the full f word, she never cusses) because thats all I'm good at. I have been thinking about you nonstop and I want to see you. Im sorry for how I am and Im sorry you you having to put up with me for two years. Im sorry for not having committed to being with you, and I just want you to know i miss you so much"

This was my reply
"Are you saying you want to commit to me, or are you just saying you are sorry for not having committed to me? Your apology means a lot to me, but actions speak louder than words. I miss you to. Don't worry about money sweetheart, I'll handle that. And I want to trust you. (I can get there for less than 100$) So show me. Show me you mean it, because for me to come back, i have to feel you mean it, and right now I don't"
And then I went on
"Each time you apologize you lose meaning, you don't have much left to lose so be careful"

She replied "I do mean it!!! Sorry i was at church" (2 hours later)
I said back "Answer my first text"
She said "Both, I am sorry for not committing to you, and I want to commit to you"
I said "Id like to see you then"
I want this to work, i like this girl. But at the same time Im okay if it doesn't. But I REALLY want it to happen. I want this communities opinion on how y'all think she feels about me, if I'm experiencing loving someone or oneitis (I've had both), and what I should do to make sure she knows that I mean it if she messes up again Im gone.

That was longer than expected. Hope to hear back from y'all. This girl is special to me.
