If there is no pressure to grow, your brain will literally try everything to avoid any kind of effort.

On the other hand, when you are forced to level up, you brain will provide unlimited amounts of energy.

In today's world where everything is handed to us, this becomes twice as hard:

1. For millions of years we were thrown into the brutal nature of life from age 0. It was learn, adapt, grow or die. Today the biggest struggle most of us face is getting up early or hitting the gym 3 times a week. Because most of our needs are met, your brain will sabotage any efforts at growth. 
2. With unlimited pleasures and distractions, your brain has an easy game at convincing you not to invest, but to consume.

There are only two ways to work around these default settings.

• You either remove all instant pleasures from your life

• Or you make your goal a fundamental necessity for your future existence

Once you deeply commit to one of these two, your brain will reward you with focus and drive that will literally feel limitless.
