Big ambitions, low expectations, and high standards are a powerful combination for living your best life.

Ambitions pull you forward when it’s hard. They connect you to something larger. One of my most important ambitions is to be a great father and friend. Another is to leave the world a better place than I found it. You can’t have a meaningful life without a connection to something larger than yourself.

Reality minus expectations = happiness. You will never be happy unless your expectations are exceeded. If you think the world owes you something, you’re going to end up disappointed. The world doesn’t owe you anything. You can’t sit around waiting for the world to come and hand you what you think you deserve. If you want something to happen, you have to take action. Go positive and go first.

High standards – When it gets hard, do not lower your standards. I am not always at my best, but I always give my best. I hold myself to a high bar. I don’t always meet it, but I won’t lower the bar to feel better about myself.

Prepare

What looks like skill is often just a lot of work that no one sees. Long nights, early mornings, sweat, tears.

If you want remarkable results, you need to work remarkably hard. Professionals go all in. They don’t leave at five every day because that’s 8 hours from when they show up; they grind for small insights. Knowledge accumulates in drips and gets leveraged in buckets.

Dreams - From the Procreate Beginner Series

Check it out below

Instagram: Dream

Imagine yourself 10 years from now. You're sitting alone in a quiet room, looking back on your life. The world has moved on, opportunities have come and gone, and you’re left with the thoughts of what could have been. You feel a tightness in your chest as you think about the times you chose comfort over effort, fear over courage, and doubt over belief in yourself.
The moments you thought, “I’ll do it later,” but later never came. The dreams you once had—the ones that kept you awake at night with excitement—now feel like whispers from a distant past, drowned out by excuses you told yourself.

You see others living the life you once dreamed of, not because they were better, smarter, or luckier, but because they refused to give up. They fought through failures, rejections, and hardships that you let stop you. And now, as you sit in silence, you feel a pang of regret that cuts deeper than any failure ever could: the regret of knowing you could have been so much more.

But let me tell you this: that future doesn’t have to be yours. Right now, you still have time. Every second, every breath, every moment is a chance to rewrite your story. You can become the person who looks back 10 years from now, not with regret, but with pride. The person who says, “I gave it my all, and I made it".

The path to success will be hard, but so is living with regret. The choice is yours. Don’t let your future self down.

The only thing standing between you and your dreams is the action you take today.

“You think it’s easier to help the clients than it is to help yourself, but over time you gradually benefit in an indirect way. By helping other people, you spot the mistakes that they keep making and the traps that they fall into and you start to kind of realize that you’re probably doing the same thing. They function, to some extent, as a mirror for your own problems over time.”

Do you have any attachments—people or things that you falsely believe you could not be happy without? Make a list of them right now before we go on to study how exactly they blind you.

Think of a politician who has convinced himself he will not be happy unless he gets political power. His quest for power coarsens his sensitivity to the rest of life. He barely has time for his family and friends. Suddenly all human beings are perceived and reacted to in terms of the support or threat that they are to his ambition. And those who can neither threaten nor support he does not even notice. If in addition to his craving for power he has an attachment to other things like sex or money, the poor man has become so selective in his perceptions that he could almost be said to be blind. Everyone sees this except the man himself. …

Now think of yourself listening to an orchestra in which the sound of the drum is so loud that nothing else can be heard. To enjoy the symphony you must be responsive to every instrument in the orchestra. To be in the state called love you must be sensitive to the uniqueness and beauty of every single thing and person around you. …

Stop for a while now to see how your attachments drain life’s symphony no less than the politician’s attachment to power and the businessman’s attachment to money have hardened them to the melody of life. Or look at the matter in another way: There is an enormous amount of information that is continuously flowing in from the world through the senses, the tissues of the organs of your body. Only a small part of this information reaches your conscious mind. It is like the infinite amount of feedback that is sent to the President of a nation: Only a tiny fraction finally makes its way to him. Somebody does the screening and the processing at the President's office. Who decides what will finally make its way to your conscious mind from all the material that is pouring in from the world? Three decisive filters: first your attachments, second your beliefs and third your fears.
