6 Great Tips on How to Be the Best Version of Yourself

Do you want to know 5 tips on how to be the best version of yourself?

If so, then keep reading because this post will be the best post that’ll help you achieve that.

As to not waste your time, here’s the first thing to know:

1. Understand You

head with the phrase "reset your mind"

It all starts with you.

You are the only one who knows what the best version of yourself looks like.

What is the best version of yourself?

Go ahead, answer it for yourself on a sheet of paper.

Do you know the answer?

If you said yes, keep that answer right next to you for the rest of the article because I am going to show you how you can become the ultra mighty force to be reckoned with in what you do.

If you said no, that’s fine.

It’s OK not to know what it is, especially if you are new to the real world.

What’s NOT OK is letting the answer linger for another day.

Why?

Because those who know what they want put more heart into what they do.

They do it with a purpose.

They do it with fire.

They do it with the mentality of “I own this” instead of “It owns me.”

Do you know that person who seems super passionate about something?

That person is obsessed with what he/she wants.

That’s where you need to get to if you are going to get anywhere with what you want to do.

If you are not obsessed with your goal, you are average.

And what happens to average people?

They don’t get far, don’t they?

Frontpage headlines?

Not a chance.

People talking about them?

No way.

This is what you need to avoid at all costs.

Being average is the enemy of all greatness.

Greatness is the only way to go if you ever want to get things done.

Without greatness, you are just like another bag of potato chips floating in the wind.

But with greatness, you are like a category 5 hurricane whipping through a weak neighborhood waiting to blow the roofs off of everything you see.

If you don’t understand my point, let me ask you this:

Which of the two above makes the headlines?

Exactly.

Potato chip bags don’t make headlines.

Hurricanes do.

That’s what wakes people up to go to the grocery store and buy all of that water and to scramble to prepare.

That’s where YOU need to get to if you want any everlasting success in any endeavor you undertake.

Make people scared of you.

What’s one way to start that process you might ask?

It starts here.

This is a post on how to use your sexual energy to accomplish anything you want in life.

It is the secret of your internal power to dominate the circumstances around you and to literally crush your goal and make it a reality.

It’ll take you from A-Z on knowing what you need to do given your situation to get what you desire.

I promise you’ll become a better man or woman from reading it.

Go ahead. Give it a read.

Now here’s another not-so-secret way of becoming the best version of yourself.

2. Think Like a Dominator, NOT a Player

Second place is the first loser.

Read that statement over and over again.

If you don’t believe me, read on and I’ll convince you otherwise.

Have you ever applied for a job and there are 100 applicants for the same role?

Do you know how many people get the job?

Exactly.

There is no second place (ok, maybe in some cases, but approach everything like there is only one spot available).

The only way to stand out from the crowd is to make it VERY noticeable that you have that “WOW” factor.

That factor makes people think of you as that something.

That thing they can only crave to have.

And you can only get to this point if you think like the dominator.

Now, in this situation, how do you do it?

Well, in general terms, you give everything the employer is looking for, showcase your ability to produce the best results possible with what they are looking for, be your authentic self, and don’t be a disrespectful punk.

And, you envision yourself as the victor doing everything perfectly.

When you do this, you will naturally fill in the pieces that you need to fill to become that standout candidate.

Hence, the dominator.

I promise they won’t even think of anyone else to hire when you do this.

Now, think of things this way.

When you go out and buy things, do you give attention to everything you see?

Probably not.

Why?

Because they don’t DOMINATE your attention.

Hence, they are not the best thing in your mind.

Now, when you go shopping for this shoe and something sticks out to you like a lighthouse in a dark ocean, what do you do?

Do you ignore it?

No.

You think about it over and over again.

You literally neglect everyone else.

Hence, that thing dominated your attention.

You become obsessed with this thing.

There IS no second place.

In business, there is first place and that’s it.

And the best way to get to first place is to not “compete.”

It’s to literally dominate.

And that’s what you have to do.

In whatever you do, don’t settle for second place.

Don’t settle for a mediocre life with the typical things people do.

Dominate and become the one who owns a 757 jet and has 5 Super Bowl rings, 6 NBA Championships, 4 Stanley Cups, and 5 World Series titles as an owner of your own sports teams.

Now you’re starting to think big, aren’t you?

And that’s what you need to do at all times.

Don’t go small with your vision.

Go big and dominate in what you do to get everything you desire.

Now here is something that is completely underrated, but compounds itself over time.

3. Be Consistent

signs that says "rules."

Consistency is the key to success.

I’m sure you’ve heard this cliché a number of times, but it rings true (assuming that you have the right habits).

When you consistently employ the correct habits you need, you build momentum towards achieving your goals.

Why?

Because we are what we repeatedly do.

And when you repeatedly employ the correct habits, you consistently get great results.

Now why does this lead to domination and why is it the ultimate step on how to become the best version of yourself?

Because no one does it.

And when you do it, you literally become a league of your own.

Your only competition at this point is yourself.

Now, what happens when you aren’t consistent?

You lose momentum.

Momentum is the gas that keeps you going, much like gas keeps a car running.

When you lose gas, the car slows down.

Likewise, when you lose momentum, you lose progress.

This is a big no-no when it comes to achieving your goals.

Historically speaking, those who lose momentum do not achieve goals.

Period.

And the common factor amongst these failures was that they did not remain consistent when they needed to be (verify this and bring in examples to substantiate this point).

Let’s take a look at an example to prove this point.

The Miami Dolphins are one of the worst NFL franchises today.

They have been mediocre for the last 2 decades as of this writing.

They have only made the playoffs in 2 out of the last 20 years and were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs in both of those years.

Why hasn’t this team ever had a great season for SOOO long?

It’s because they have inconsistent coaching and arguably the worst offensive line the NFL has ever seen.

No coach for the Dolphins during this time has ever had a consistent and proven system for how to handle players and how to get the most out of them.

Hence, they have always had their woes.

The offensive line has never played consistently well and they have consistently made numerous mistakes in protecting the quarterback. 

Hence, the quarterback, regardless of who it is, can’t always execute the plays that need to be run since he has to run for his life every time the ball snaps just to protect himself from the blazing defense getting thrown his way.

This is where inconsistency starts to trickle down.

The Dolphins have almost never played with confidence as a result.

And the result of this is they play mediocre football at best.

That’s why the Miami Dolphins are the laughing stock of the NFL.

The bottom line is this:

Greatness starts with implementing the correct habits day in and day out.

There is no other way around the truth.

Being the best starts with realizing this one fact.

To be the best, you can’t be silly with your habits.

You have to be rock solid and convicted in what you are doing to proceed forward.

This conviction starts with the confidence that your habits will allow you to eventually achieve your inner greatness.

Once you know this, you don’t have to beat the bush as the Dolphins do in order to find answers.

You have the answers.

Now, here’s another thing you ALWAYS have to do to stay on top of the competition:

4. Don’t Stop Learning

“The more you learn, the more you earn.”

Do you want to take a guess as to who said this?

I’ll give you a hint: 

He’s really rich.

Do you want to know who?

Read on and I’ll tell you.

All quizzes aside, the phrase is completely true.

How can you ever earn without knowing something that will be of value to someone else?

This is why you should never stop learning.

You can always sell more, you can always discover more of yourself that can improve a certain aspect of your life, you can always find ways to enjoy life more, etc.

Learning makes you much more capable.

Hence, you become more powerful.

I’ll give you a quote that at least resonated with me very well.

James Madison, the 4th president of the United States, once said the following about education:

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

This means that if you want to make your own decisions, PLEASE get the knowledge that you need to make those decisions.

Or, you’ll have to follow the rules given to you.

And if you break these rules,

One word: 

Oops.

So never stop learning.

With execution, you will gain all of the control you will ever need to make your own decisions and influence those around you to do what you want to do.

Now, here’s the final and most important point of them all:

5. Be a Good Sport

Always.

Don’t be a jerk, a bully, or someone who condescends people.

It’ll bite you in the butt at some point in the future.

If you do bully someone, shame on you unless you ask the higher-up for forgiveness in a genuine manner.

If you make a mistake, accept it, own it, and learn what you need to learn to correct it.

Do NOT dwell on the past.

You will regret this and it will impact your results in the future.

I can give you many examples as to how people who dwell in the past end up fighting with other people and making their situations worse than when they started.

Just be a good sport and give credit where credit is due.

Don’t criticize, condemn or complain and express sincere appreciation to those who deserve it.

The world will reward you for this when you do these things.

I can promise you that 🙂
