You Better Werk.

Life Hack: Work as hard at developing your mind as you do your biceps.

And remember that you can ‘improve yourself’ with every self-help book under the sun, but unless you’re willing to actually do the work... it’s probably just another avoidance technique.

Example: You listen to a new self-help book on something you struggle with, like maybe setting boundaries. You feel all empowered and like you can take on the world. ‘I’m so empowered! So enlightening!’

But then you never actually practice setting those boundaries. Instead, you finish the book, and pick out the next big read. All this reading... You feel so smart! But you still have yet to set a single boundary.

You haven’t helped yourself, just avoided another issue or trauma. (Albeit in a very ‘intelligent-looking/at-least-it’s-not-doing-drugs/I’m so smart’ kind of way.) It’s more socially acceptable, and even rewarded. But it still hasn’t done a damn thing except distract you from moving forward.

Read the book, TAKE ACTION, and move forward. Because taking action to move forward and better your life? That’s Luxuriously Dope. 🖤
