"Successful life begins in the mind and is cultivated through every action."
In a money-driven world, it seems that knowing what it truly means to be human is slowly slipping away. Do you feel it too?
I’m almost always in good spirits, rarely having much to complain about. I’m happy most of the time—mainly because I’ve developed a mindset that allows me to appreciate the seemingly small things as significant. I'm not happy in the sense of smiling ear to ear 24/7; it's more of an internal happiness, burning on a medium flame all the time. It feels really good, because I don’t need high highs or low lows. It’s balanced.
And if I ever feel that dip in happiness coming on, there’s always push-ups.
I swear, push-ups are a cure-all for me. There’s nothing better than giving myself an energy boost by getting down on the floor and cranking out 50 to 90+ push-ups in one go. If you’ve read my previous Rate My Push-Ups articles, you may have noticed my numbers have dropped a bit. Yes, it's true—a few small injuries and almost constant, annoying pains have slowed me down. But screw it. Why stop? I'm having too much fun!

To me, every rise and fall of a push-up carries a slightly different meaning on the road to completing the exercise. There are highs and lows in every motion. There are moments when you want to quit—because it gets tough, really tough. There are mental walls to climb and eventually overcome. Continuing to push until complete muscle exhaustion—failure—is both a perception of failure and a form of success.
In this video, you’ll notice that I don’t lift my upper body after I pull my legs down from the chair. That’s because I physically can’t—my chest is spent, and there's no energy left to lift my body.
In my quest to Always Do More, I deliberately set myself up for failure. And in the process, there’s always a loss—a failure, if you will. But at the same time, I’m always winning, because I’ve reached my goal: to never settle for “less than.” My mind is the strongest muscle I possess, and it's the one I have full control over. That’s where the true test of strength rests. That’s where the battle must be fought and won.
It is the dragon that must be slain—the place where the lies we tell ourselves live, and where we grapple with the idea of Always Do More, questioning whether we've truly accomplished it while still on the journey.
