“If you don’t have discipline, you don’t deserve to dream.” If you are not willing to train, you can say goodbye to your dreams. The biggest reason people don’t grow or self-actualize is because they don’t train. It is that simple. Training is required for success in any area of your life: business, career, public speaking, sexuality, dating, health, socialization, sports, personal development, consciousness, happiness, morality, etc. All of these things require enormous practice. Are you not happy with the results you are having? It is because you are not training nearly enough. What is training? It is a consistent daily focused practice into some aspect of your life. It is when you set aside a certain amount of time to perform specific drills performed by you to improve your performance. Training also means using theory to finetune your practice. Training is primarily practice-based but theory is still important. What isn’t training? Training isn’t reading books, watching videos, talking, thinking or planning doing the practice. It is not doing routine work. DELIBERATE PRACTICE IS PRACTICE, WORKING IS NOT PRACTICE. If you are not improving and learning something new, you are not training. IT IS VERY HARD TO DO THESE THINGS CONSISTENTLY AND IT IS MOST HARD WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO DO IT BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAYS. There are some reasons people don’t train: 1-      Training is challenging 2-      Training requires great vision: If you are not a visionary you will not put your hours. This is why a Life Purpose is very important. If you have your LP handled, JUST PRACTICE! It is going to be difficult and will require tons of self-discipline. 3-      There are no external support structures: Nobody is going to force you to train. 4-      It requires enormous focus. 5-      Training is repetitive and boring when you first start 6-      It involves emotional labor 7-      Training is exhausting 8-      Society and marketing discourage mastery and training 9-      It means less fun, less sex and less drugs How to start training: 1-      Have a vision! 2-      Decide what skills do you need to achieve your purpose. 3-      Create drills for each of these. 4-      Set aside time to practice the drills CONSISTENTLY. The momentum will build up in the course of years, not just months. You will develop a taste for the training process. Training develops character. That is why it is so important. STOP WITH THEORY, GO OUT AND DO STUFF! The most common element in the greatest people of all time is……. TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING! Training is not optional for sages and life-masters.
