Most men confuse wishing and wanting with pursuing. Their desire for a dream may be desperate and deep, but whenever desire fails to produce, they conclude the dream cannot be theirs. It’s time to stop talking the rhetoric about wanting to be successful and motivated. For most of you, it’s only talk! Every man on this planet has problems, but most don’t actually want to solve their problems.

If you’ve been living in constant brain fog your entire life and want to make a change out of desperation or inspiration, I’ll tell you everything you need to know on how to get motivated. In fact, I will strip away every single excuse you have until there are absolutely zero left!

1. Have High Expectations.

Not average expectations. In reality, it’s easy to procrastinate when every single one of your goals is bite-sized, and you assume failure from the start. Most of you get caught into the trap of worrying endlessly about how you’ll get to the future.

You leave the thought of actually focusing on the future up to later imagination. It doesn’t even exist. Start focusing on the big picture, and stop worrying so much about how you’ll get there.

Dream and think bigger. Set your goals to ones that would take two or three lifetimes to accomplish. When you complete your small goals in life, you have will much, much larger ones leftover waiting for you. You honestly don’t need a roadmap to life with all the planned stops, turns, and detours. You simply need to have a destination in mind.

Just imagine a man who decides he needs to lose a few pounds. He pushes himself into the gym and works out for a full day. He then decides to reward himself with a chocolate bar for his efforts in accomplishing a relatively small goal. He can repeat the process day in and day out, only to find he has managed to lose no weight at all. In the grand scheme of things, he put instant gratification over his ultimate goals in life because he wasn’t focused on the big picture.
