I once heard a quote from Simon Sinek.
(Best selling author & inspirational speaker)
He said that the best majority of people have this distorted idea you need to work hard and play hard. I absolutely loved his reframe on the idea which went like:
You don't need to work hard and play hard.
Instead work hard and play always.
Beyond that, who's to say that what I define as "leisure" (fun) it's the same exact thing as what you would describe as "leisure" (fun)?
Because, at the end of the day if you find ways to creatively structure the sections of your life around the things you enjoy doing most. As in, your hobbies (if you have any). Business, developing skills, work, making money, relaxing, spending time with family, etc. etc.
Everybody lives a different life and within them the lot of us have different values. So for one of us to come around and say work hard and play hard. That isn't enough. If there's many things that we will do as we work hard towards our goals or just trying to make money. We also can't control when our last day will be on this Earth. (At least I haven't figured it out yet 🤔)
So he proposed whilst being within that process of our everyday whirlwind that we call work. Find, or at least try to recognize those empty spaces where we can fill in those gaps with something that we feel IS fun. To find humor in the seemingly meaningless-ness of life.
Each and every one of our times is valuable. But if we're not careful we pulling off that's so called Asset sometimes involuntarily. We say yes to something that we should have said no to. Yet, paradoxically... That yes that led to something fun and playful?
Maybe it helped you find your future wife?
Maybe it helped you find a new business opportunity?
Maybe it helped you find a new hobby?
Point being said work hard, yes. But Play always. But do it your way. More importantly, organize with your best friends and family and make an experience for all of you.
To Play together, befor
That which stands in the way, becomes the way. Therefore the obstacle is the way. ~Seneca

This is video 1 of many inside of a brand new personal documentation series called: The 9-5 Millionaire Activation System.
Which is basically me recording myself doing the good, bad and sometimes ugly work behind the scenes for my business.
GF PeakPerformance | Leadership Coach for Men. Helping nice guys become great men who fight mediocrity and attract quality women...
In other words, this is me documenting my imperfect process while I'm on the road towards leading my Life my way to live in life on my terms.
How I want it, what I want it, where I want it, whenever I want it, with whoever I want.
From my Laptop. (PC's & PHONE 📱)
Or, fiscally speaking ON THE ROAD TOWARDS a meager and easy million dollars a year.(roughly 84k a month) which in today's dollars is nothing compared to the Mentors I've been quietly associating & acquiring for myself with over the years.
I think it will be fun 🙂
Although I may be disclosing this now for the first time for some? I've been on this journey since I was 21 years old, seeing the life that I was handed. With all of the poor role models that I had... I realized that normal was just not for me.
I could feel deep down that I was different. It feels almost as if, I was made for this. At least this mission for my life?
🫣In the beginning, because I was only a kid it was ugly 🥶
Yet, even though at 21 years old as inexperienced, and in over my head as I was. I was not going to let that stop me. As usual my instinct, or higher self (intellectual daemon) let me in the direction to where my own commitments would send me...
Be curious, not judgmental.
Which is down this path. My Way
May my endeavors always be arduous for it is because of them I shall reap great rewards. Always.
