Well Steemians, it's another awesome Friday once again and guess what? Many people are excited and pumped up for no reason at all. Let me explain...
Every weekend, Millions of people will go out partying, eating, drinking, movies, shopping, and spending tons of money they don't have, exhausted oneself... just to wake up Saturday morning drained, unmotivated and lazy regretting what they did yesterday.
I can people saying this right now... "So what Charles... I worked so hard this week and I deserve it! What wrong with that!"
We'll if you want to be "Average" in life, you can keep doing that... not a problem but stop "bitchin" all the time why other people are more successful than you are.
You see, I use to be that guy wasting every weekend doing the same things - what's worse (I live in Las Vegas for God sakes, Party Town of all time) and I believed it was my right to celebrate because I thought I deserved it... but the truth was that there was nothing to celebrate about.
When I woke up and realized these things were not helping me with my life, I stopped doing them 99% of the time to focus on other goals that I wanted to accomplish.
I'm not saying that all these things are wrong, however too many people waste their precious time doing activities every weekend and then "bitch" about why they are not successful all week. It's like a vicious cycle.
Here are some rules to live by:
Stop spending money you don't have.
Stop trying to impress people.
Stop drinking.
Stop wasting time.
Stop complaining.
Stop being negative.
Stop making excuses.
Stop lying to yourself.
I have made lots of successful friends throughout the years, and guess what? They HUSTLE and GRIND more on the weekend than they do during the week.
The truth tends to hurt people's feelings and I hope this didn't. It's just another way to look at what one can accomplish if they shift from average to greatness.
Have an awesome weekend guys and just remember, the grind don't ever stop :)

now you said it.
I used to party a lot when I was young.. yes it was fun, but when you do it week in week out, it just gets mundane and well ..I guess it just lost it's power.
I don't want to sound like a 'fart' lol.. but now at 32 I get satisfaction out of helping my patients (basically being their arms and legs 💛 )- elder care.
& the rewards are the most heartwarming feeling I have ever known.
cant be beaten 💛

I'm so glad it is Friday and the Weekends are coming up. I just want to relax or party.
I don't know how you remain dedicated even though you live in Las Vegas @stackin. Always grinding and hustling non stop
I'll probably keep doing what I'm doing and carry on with my daily blogs and my constant flurry of comments.
Better work my arse off now than miss out when steem begins to get bigger and bigger and it becomes harder to grow
Great tips @stackin and I hope you have a great weekend bud

you're absolutely right, our time is limited we have to stop doing things just to stay comfortable and escape from anything made us tired that's not how life works. we have to add a value to our live and don't let it be meaningless. the limitations that we make prevent us from amazing challenges and adventures out there. there's no worth than living in an infinite loop, doing the same things every day. insightful article @stackin have a wonderful day .

Doesn't mean I don't go out, I do that too but in moderation.

yeah yeah yeah I know but there comes a time when we need to see a upward trend for steem and you cant always act like the half is half full when its almopst empty lol but hey, maybe im wrong and we should be happy for steem to be this cheap
Its just taht if it stays too cheap for to long peopel assume its sucks an wont ever get in! we need $10 steem because why not? Its stil cheap! Steem will be $100 soon BUT YEAH man i KNOW what uyou mean
we will get to be those FEW people who bought a lot of bitcoin at $1
Sure we would be happy to buy Bitcoin at $1 or even $10 or even $100 or even $1000 but back THEN it wasnt so obviouis! NOW peopel KNOW to invst everything they have! (if theyre smart) people l;iek u and me know steem will be $1000 and bitcoin at $1 million but for most peopel they listen to morons who sa biutcoi is a buble liek the dot com bubble No bitcoin is NOT a stock its not fuckin tulips its crazy man i get so mad at all the normies who are just hurting themselves and their families buy ot investing in crypto!
Its not enough to just write them off as a loss and go 'Well more bitcoin for me!" because if more americans bought and mined bitcoin we could take away the mining dominance from the chinese! We need more bitcoin miners and NOT just buying contracts with genessi or mining pools people ned to be mining bitcoin with their own hardware !
man i dunno i feel like we all need to be working a lot harder and i almost wish I could just take drugs to work harder maybe I should be drinking coffee everyday or doing adderal or meth so I can stay on steemit for 10 hours without stopping LOL nah i wont do that i have gotten into these manic steemit post modes wheer i just start posting like crazy!
We need to aply for major business loans i bet if i could secure a $100,000 loan i could turn it into $10 million in a mater of a few months using altcoins investments!
we should be putting up craigslist ads for steemit in EVERY us city!

So true. I'm definitely pro to that concept. People want to make things up in their head that they 'deserve' a break, but just remember there is always that one other person that will not take that break. So we have the right to do as we wish with our time, but if it's not used perfectly, there will always be someone out there, who is more focused, and more disciplined than you are. That is also the person who is the most successful.
Awesome post my man! Consistency, consistency, consistency :) Talk soon.

Agree.. spending money that we don't have, it has been a life style, then complaining when the credit card's bill arise and that is the reason why many peoples hate Monday. Otherwise, spend quality time with our family, cooking, gardening, less price but precious. We have the money but we never have TIME and we can't buy it.

You are spot on! I look forward to each weekend because that is when I do the work that feeds my SOUL. Being mom is my day job. The weekends are when I plan finances, sync calendars, line up classes, plan homeschool weeks, work out my trading plan for both cryptos and stocks, run to train for my next race, meal prep, hack away at the little things in home and life.
Pomodero. Or no pomodero. The weekend is when I DO WORK! The weekdays are just consumed. My husband and I have worked it to maximize between his job, my skills and freelancing, our goals. You have GOT to have goals!
Thanks and high five!

Yes, they are a lot of time wasting activities. My next door neighbor and his boys always wants me to drink with them. I tell them I don't drink anymore. I used to drink with them. They spend hours drinking and talking the sh#t. I will talk to them a little bit then tell them I have story to write guys and it's already due so I have to go.

By doing the same thing again and again, our mind gets bored and if that does not add value to our life, that is not going to do any help for improving our life.So we should focus on the way how we can make ourselves better that yesterday. You have added some great points here.

Working all week to waste your money (and even money you don't have, like you said) in the weeknd is definitely a bad idea, they will stuck in average all their life, some people needs to see what they really want to do with their life.
I'm 18 years old and I'm not saying that I don't like parties because is a lie, But I prefer to concentrate on my goals, that they are going to give me the things that I really want.

I agree with no wasting your time. However, I don't agree with hustling all the time because the only thing that will wait for you in the future is a major burnout syndrome, depression or similar.
Hustle, but be aware of your mental health and also don't forget to relax. Your mind can't go non-stop. Professional runners also need a break after they do marathon or even an ultra-long run. Even Usain Bolt used to rela for at least a few weeks after winning his gold medals.
