It Doesn't Get Easier - Start Now - The Four Pillars of Life

It Doesn't Get Easier

By Adam Mundorf

It Doesn't Get Easier
It doesn't get easier.  Procrastination kills the future self.  You may have heard the phrase : "The best time to plant a tree was yesterday but the second best time is right now."  I hear and see many people procrastinate everything from saving money to retirement investing to physical fitness.  The clock keeps on ticking whether you're complicit in self improvement or not.

Start Now
Start now and don't wait another second.  Life has a habit of pulling people along.  I believe life can pretty much be divided into four main categories : Physical Fitness, Nutrition, Finances and Mental Health.  This is honestly a pretty good list, most of it is recommended by people far older and wiser than me.  Just remember that while we search for the perfect routine, it's the doing that always provides results.  When you don't know what you believe in, everything becomes an argument.  Believe in this list and it will pay off in spades.

The Four Pillars of Life
  • Physical Fitness
    • Go to StrongFirst and follow the directions.
    • Start logging 10,000 steps per day.
    • Weight yourself every morning.
  • Nutrition
    • Cut out processed sugar and drink water.
    • Begin eating like an adult.
    • Find an eating style that makes sense and is conducive to your lifestyle.
  • Financial
  • Mental
    • Cut out pornography and masturbation.
    • Begin meditating before bed using binaural beats.
    • Improve the quality of your thoughts.
    • Pick up a book like the Daily Stoic and read a passage before bed.
    • Stop comparing yourself to others.  Who compares, who cares?
    • Be a virtuous person above all else.

In the wise words of Nate Dogg : "I've been to the motherfuckin' mountain top.  Heard motherfuckers talk, seen 'em drop."

I've been to the mountain top and now my job is to lead others to the top......

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealt...

Company Parties : Walk Beside Me not Behind Me : The 'Christian' CEO's

  Company Parties Walk Beside Me not Behind Me The 'Christian' CEO's By Adam Mundorf 'True leading is sacrifice, not privilege.' Company Parties What a kick in the face company parties are.  No money for raises but money for lavish and extravagant parties?  Cutting hours but have money for banquets?  Seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it?  A rising tide raises all ships and all these silly parties do is drain the ocean.  Lets be honest, most people want the cash because we have bills and actual expenses that aren't solved with a pizza party or catered dinner.  We have goals and aspirations where an extra 20 bucks can provide dividends into the future.  Skip the party and distribute the cash.  Your employees will love that more than any party you could throw.  Quite frankly, it's insulting that a company could even throw a party while simultaneously cutting hours.  What a kick in the nuts.   Walk Beside Me not Behind Me A big...

  What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Three Largest Lessons By Adam Mundorf What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Recently, the company I work for decided to host a Dale Carnegie Course for all of its managers and leadership team.  Dale Carnegie is a course meant to enhance leadership qualities while giving you thought provoking scenarios and lessons to use in the real world.  I had a really good time, it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and taught me three valuable lessons (there are more but I want to limit this blog to the three biggest lessons I learned).  Here they are : Lesson #1 - Adam 'Pause' Mundorf - Avoiding the Stutter Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I've had somewhat of a stutter since a young age.  I'm not talking like King George the Sixth but it's there.  It gave me grief as a childhood but as I got older, it got funnier because I knew it wasn't a disability but my brain moving entirely too fast for my mouth....
