Chapters

Listen to me. A broke homeless person right now is finding what they need to survive. They're getting food, they're getting drugs, they're getting water, they're getting clothes, they're getting whatever they deem necessary because their desire, their will to survive is so strong. And you're telling me that you can't figure out how to change, you can't figure out how to be successful, you can't figure out how to be happy? What that tells me is your desire isn't strong enough, your will isn't big enough, and your why, you haven't defined it yet. Because when you define your why and you understand what it is that you truly want and nothing else matters, you'll Learn how to go after it, and everything, everything will change.
