đź“š Hey, good morning! Time to win.
Listen: Hesitation kills more dreams than speed ever will.
(Direct quote from a great book I’m reading right now)
Don’t worry about moving too fast. Rather, fear standing still.
In direct competition, the only way to avoid getting run over is by staying in MOTION. Driving FORWARD.
I’m racing every day to bring the pictures I see inside my mind out into the external world, and I’ll lie still when I’m fucking dead.

Note: I’ll update follower counts once per week, since it’s such a waste of time to go through all of them every single night. Also, Threads annoyingly doesn’t give exact numbers. Oh well.
As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

I’m actually taking the next few weeks off the gym, with the exception of some light cardio and maybe some even lighter weights. That’s what I do: I’ve been pushing myself extremely hard these past few months and have made spectacular gains, and so I’m giving my body (and mind) some extra time to recover and come back bigger and stronger.

Today was a solid effort, but I’m still going to optimize my day/workflow if I want to be able to achieve the above goals. I’m already behind on some of them. But that’s okay, it’s the 4th now as I’m writing this, I got a GREAT jump on things today, and tomorrow is another day!
Also, I wonder if I’m confusing people when I say today/tomorrow haha. It’s 6am on April 4th as I’m writing this, but “today” for me was the 3rd…so TOMORROW will be the 4th, even though it’s the 4th now…ok that’s definitely not helping haha.
Anyway, hope it’s not too confusing. Doesn’t really matter anyway. 27 days left in April and I will be working flat-out during ALL of them to make my visions come true.
But that’s it for today.
Until next time…happy reading!
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
