Hustle & Strive is here to drop game on making the best of any situation. We know life comes with its fair share of challenges, but coming with the right approach can put you in the best position to succeed.
Are you willing to do what’s best for your future? Ready to start leveling up today?
Plan your next move. Substances use like drugs and alcohol will only make things harder.
You won’t overcome setbacks overnight. However, staying consistent and focusing on your goals substance-free builds a long game mentality.
Everybody wants to win—that’s the goal. But even small setbacks can help you succeed in the end, as long as you can learn something from them.
On days you take a small L, like fumbling a music opportunity or letting your team down, take a step back and understand what went wrong. That way, the next time you’re in a similar spot, you won’t make the same mistake.
Now, clouding up your mind with weed, pills, or alcohol? That’s not gonna help you win now or later, so just call it what it is—an L every time.
Another key to racking up W’s is to react strategically instead of emotionally. Keeping the bigger picture in mind is how you stay in control in this game, and remember: The winners are playing CHESS, not CHECKERS.
Successful people think two steps ahead. It could be as simple as deciding NOT to react at all because you see how it might make a bad situation worse. Playing out the possible outcomes in your head can help you make the right moves.
Don’t cap, when you’re smoking, drinking, or popping pills, you’re probably too lit to react without your emotions taking over. By staying free from those substances, you won’t make decisions that turn out for the worse.
