you vs you

it’s literally never going to change. you either win or die trying.

fuck every single reason you have in your head that is holding you back from the things that you want in this life. that dream, goal, whatever it may be- you have to be relentless about it. be indescribably relentless. don’t choose your goals out of selfishness/vanity either- you’re only changing yourself to appeal to others. choose the goal out of love and the desire to see yourself go as far as you possibly can and KEEP going.

I’ve been so scared my whole life. Scared that I’ll never be good enough. Scared that people were never going to love me. Scared that everything I’ve gone through amounts to the great sum of nothing. Scared that I’m going to go my whole life without even being someone. So my response was to chase those vain goals. “Just one more time and then I’ll stop” the countless medals and achievements meant absolutely nothing to me, it just made me feel more lost. A dream that’s yours will give structure to your life. That is deeply human: we often cling to the hope of change rather than embrace change itself, because it brings uncertainty.

If you’re consistent it’s one matter- but if you’re consistently bad it’s another. You know you’re doing habits that aren’t good for you. You know you self sabotage before you can let yourself ever win. Letting yourself down is so much easier than trying to be better. You’re constant with the fact that you KNOW where to go and what you want to achieve, but deliberately staying at the start line and only doing the bare minimum to keep dreaming.

Nobody starts at the top. Skills are learned and honed in with practice. Do you think David Goggins knew he was going to be one of the most influential runners when he picked his feet up and started training the pain away? No. And neither do you know what you’re capable of if you just let yourself try.

Stop being the dragon eternally damning itself. You have the choice right now to change. Take advantage of it.

I was not in fact in b4 the DNR don’t worry I’ll summarize it

TLDR
It’s never going to change — you either win or die trying. Stop letting fear and excuses chain you down. Chase your goals out of love for your potential, not vanity. You already know what’s holding you back — the self-sabotage, the fear, the comfort of staying still. No one starts at the top. Greatness is built through pain and persistence. Stop being the dragon burning yourself down. Change now — before it’s too late.

I don't understand the distinction between vanity and potential

That’s actually a wonderful question.

In my opinion, a goal driven by vanity is very focused on how others perceive you. You keep this goal and fuel it with your ego, desire for validation by others, and comparison. The focus is highly external. For example, wanting to look a certain way so that other people think you’re attractive. You’re chasing this achievement just to prove your worth- not because you want to be better and love yourself more, but because you want to be better than everyone else.

a goal that’s rooted from potential is internal. you focus on growing into a better version of yourself for reasons other than just impressing others. but because you love the process

and honestly both of these look incredibly similar on the surface level but it’s mostly about the reasoning behind it.
