Care About Your Own Dreams

When you were little, your teacher probably asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up.

And like every kid ever, your answers were extraordinary—wild, out-of-this-world absurd.

• "I want to be an astronaut."

• "I want to be the next Bill Gates."

• "I want to be a famous singer."

You get the gist.

But as we get older, those dreams get quieter. They fade into the background until they’re just an afterthought. Some might say dreams change, but let’s be real: most people are forced to follow a certain path.

Forced by responsibilities. And most don’t realize it until it’s way too late.

Cue: the mid-life crisis.

If you stop and think about it, life is set up in a way that shoves you down a specific track:

1. Go to school. Listen to your teachers.

2. Pick a degree when you’re way too young to understand the consequences.

3. Pay off your college debt for decades.

4. Work a job related to a degree you picked as a clueless teenager.

Same goes for diet and fitness:

• Eat whatever your parents give you.

• Prioritize money over health.

• Maybe think about fitness after everything else… but not before drinking and doing drugs on the weekend because that’s what’s "cool."

It’s wild how few people actually stop and question this sh*t.

Most don’t. That’s why most people think alike, act alike, and live alike.

And most people? They let their dreams die.

That feeling of regret will haunt them until the end.

I can’t imagine being on my deathbed thinking:

• Fck, I could have been somebody.*

• I could have gone for my dream body.

• I could have gone for my dream career.

I wouldn’t wish that regret on anyone.

The purpose of this email isn’t to make you feel bad. It’s to make you wake the fck up*.

Nobody—and I mean nobody—is going to care about your dreams. Nobody will care about your health, your physique, your goals. That’s on you.

And yeah, that sucks. But it’s the truth.

Life is too short not to unlock your full potential—career-wise, physique-wise, in every possible way. Why wouldn’t you want to look your best, feel your best, be your best?

You only get one life. Really let that sink in.

I’ll leave you with this quote from Confucius:

So please, go for your dreams. Get the body you want. Live every moment pushing toward your potential. Because if you don’t, nobody will.

Have a killer weekend, and let’s crush our goals this year.

Kind Regards,
