STOP THINKING THAT YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE

Sometimes you always think that you're too special and that's why you can't move at all. You think you are not allowed to get tired or humiliated, you think you need a special treatment even though you haven't proven anything yet. You think that you're entitled of appreciation and respect from other people, and that's what makes you stuck. You're not pushing yourself, you're not facing the pain, all you want is an easy path.

You think highly of yourself, you think that you only need to work less and you will become successful, you think you're too damn good and you're better than everyone else. You think you're the chosen one, and even if you don't admit it... it will show in your actions because you don't want to humiliate yourself, you don't want to embarrass yourself, you don't want to try... you just want to look good and important even though you didn't do the work that commands the respect of people. Stop thinking that you're so special and you need a special treatment, the world is unfair and if you're too sensitive and soft then you will be eaten by the sharks, this is a competitive world, only the strong survives, this is survival of the fittest, if you're not fast and competitive then you will never get anything. You're just an ordinary human being, you don't have any big name, you're not even great so why afraid to take actions and work hard? why are you so afraid to face the pain? Stop thinking too much, stop thinking that you're the chosen one and just do what you need to do to make a small progress. The time for being soft and overly dramatic will never work these days, you have to become tough and rough, you need to get your hands dirty. Make as much mistakes as you can and simply move forward, never stop, never worry about what's going to happen next... just move forward and do it.

People who can't move were labeling themselves as one of the greatest ever, they don't want to destroy their legacy or reputation, they don't want to fail and that's why they can't succeed. Just like what is happening to Lebron James, he is always passing the ball during crunch time, he will never take the last shot because he doesn't want to take the blame. We've seen it from time to time that during the last dying seconds of the ball game he always pass the ball to his teammates, he doesn't have a killer instinct. He has a tattoo of "chosen one" on his body but he can't even ball hog during the last minutes of the game because he's so afraid of the critics.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO DESTROY YOUR NAME

Whatever accomplishment you have... don't be afraid to tarnish your legacy, because at the end of the day people will still forget you no matter how big your name is. But if you don't want to have regrets in your life then you need to push your luck, you need to destroy your identity and stop thinking that you're not allowed to make mistakes anymore. Allow yourself to try and move, allow yourself to screw up. It's ok if people laugh at you, taking those critics feels better than thinking what could have happened if you only try and use a little bit of your courage. Your name is nothing, don't ever get attached with your accomplishments if you have, don't be afraid to destroy your name even more and lose big time. Losing big time is much better than playing safe and staying in the middle. It's either you go up or you go down, that's your mindset should be.

If you want to stop overthinking then treat your life as a game, accept that losing is inevitable, accept that not all the time you're going to make it right. The great ones were high risk takers, they don't mind falling so badly, they don't mind starting over again, they don't mind if they don't have a chance after gain after screwing up... they will just take the moment and do whatever the best they can with it, they will never let other people win the challenge for them, they will try to win it b themselves.

YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

You will never understand everything and you are not suppose to understand everything. You may work hard, you may be more skilled than other...
