This is the Best Advice I have ever heard
It will hit you hard
I was in a bad situation a few months ago. A really bad one. It felt like my world was falling apart.
Due to a serious injury, I had to give up my great passion, which has been one of the most important things in my life all my life. Sports. I had big goals. Wanted to go to the Olympics. But fate wanted it differently and ended my career before it really began. In the same period my relationship broke up and a close family member died.
Probably most of us know such a situation. You are down bad.
The advice this article is about is exactly for such a situation. It also motivated me extremely in my worst time.

Be the superhero of your own movie
Most superheroes are losers at the beginning of the film. They are in a bad situation and pretty much always broke.
Be the main character of your own movie and see your current situation as the opening scene where the eventual hero is a loser. It is a simple but incredibly powerful decision. I myself made that decision a few months ago and have been working on my story every day since.
This mindset gave me the following three mindset shifts in particular.
- I took ownership over my own life.
- I have the end of the movie in mind, which gives me a clear vision.
- I saw rock bottom as a necessary part of my journey.
