Hey friend,
So I started this newsletter to share my journey about paying off consumer debt, my money mindset, and my journey to making $1,000,000...
Then it evolved into me sharing more and more about my personal life. Money affects all our lives and every aspect of it. Everything comes down to money.
Whether you believe it or not. I hope you stay even when you are offended or hate what I say.
I hope to help you grow and increase your self-awareness regardless....
So for all my new subscribers. I want to share my story with you because I want you to know who is going to be in your inbox every day.
(I will try π to be consistent with this as much as possible)
Okay...
Name: Bertrand Harmen Ngampa
Birthday: April 2nd 1992 (I am 30 years old & single π)
I am in the U.S Army reserve and I work full time as a project manager.
My passions include working out, writing, talking to people that are open-minded, making money, and taboo topics too (sex, drugs, money, etc...)
My biggest fear is to die without ever having kids and seeing them grow up. And leaving them broke and with a hefty funeral bill.
My biggest goal is to become a father and a present one too. I always picture myself coming home from work and hugging my kids while they run to me and slapping my wife's ass while I put my tongue in her mouth π
Okay now that we got that out of the way...
Yesterday I was asked a question about how do I stay focused when I have no motivation or inspiration.. when I am feeling low?
This is an amazing question because there is this false reality that we find motivation 1st then we do what needs to be done.
Actually, if you want to be top of the game and part of the 1% then stop seeking motivation.
Motivation is for the poor man to survive. Inspiration is what the folks at the top use.
Malcolm X was not motivated to speak at rallies where he could be shot and killed. He was inspired by a vision of a world we could all live together in peace.
Kobe Bryant was not motivated to be the best basketball player. He was inspired by losing to others that were below him.
In the same way many days I wake up and my depression gets the best of me.
I don't want to get out of bed.
I don't want to go to the gym.
I don't want to drink water.
I don't want to meditate.
I don't want to journal.
I don't want to do shit besides pull the cover over my head...
When days like that strike I...
Focus on what I need to do next.
For example, I have to get out of bed. (Check)
Then I have to go to be the bathroom (check)
Brush my teeth (check)
Shower (check)
Rinse off and apply lotion (check)
... Seems easy but anyone that's ever had a rough day knows what I am talking about...
Everything is hard...
So I get it...
Cry if you must...
Scream if you must...
Phone a friend if you must ...
Curse at God if you must too...
Then go through the motions of the day.
Yes, some days you just have to go through the motions.
Hit reply if you want to share anything or have a takeaway...
I love you...
See you tomorrow...
The Beginning...
