him as a person who has a very poor build.</p><p>A person who is very weak and skinny and could be knocked down easily.</p><p>The League that was selecting the players called his name at the 199th draft.</p><p>198 times his name was called and every time they turned him down and decided to bring in some other player.</p><p></p><p>When he finally came to give the trials and a team picked him.. he went to the members of the team owners. he looked straight into their eyes and said..</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m the Best Decision the Organisation has ever made&#8221;</strong></em></p><p></p><p>And you know what?</p><p>He was not lying.</p><p>That player went on to win the Super Bowl Championship 7 times and won the Most Valuable Player award 5 times.</p><p>Not a single player till now has ever been able to reach even close to this record.</p><p></p><p>In a game his team was losing by 28-3 scoreline.</p><p>Yes&#8230; the opponent team&#8217;s score was 28 and his team&#8217;s score was 3.</p><p>You tell me what the percentage chance his team had to win the match..</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/p/read-this-if-youre-facing-rejections/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/goatmindset.substack.com/p/read-this-if-youre-facing-rejections/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p>No team in the history of that league had ever recovered from this amount of huge deficit.. <em>until that night.</em></p><p>Because that night, his team came back from that deficit and won that match.</p><p>But that&#8217;s not even the most shocking because do you know what the score was at the end of that match? <strong>28-34.</strong></p><p>He didn&#8217;t only manage to win.. he also managed to keep the opposite team in the score and then thrashed them.</p><p>He went on to orchestrate 31 points.. which is still one of the best performances ever given by a single player.</p><p></p><p>But you know what?</p><p>All these special numbers like..</p><p>7 times Super Bowl Champion.</p><p>5 times Most Valuable Player Winner.</p><p>31 points orchestrated in a single match.</p><p>None of these numbers matters to him&#8230; <em><strong>at all</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p><p>Because the one number that he cares about more is <strong>198.</strong> The number of times he was rejected.</p><p>He never forgets that number.</p><p>He wears that number as a badge of honour.</p><p>Why?</p><p>Because he knows that maybe if he was not rejected that amount of times, then maybe he would not even be able to achieve those other numbers.</p><p></p><p>And in case you are still wondering who this player is...</p><p>His name is Tom Brady.. and he plays in the NFL.. a very famous sport in the USA.</p><div

for a lot of people... the answer would actually be <em>yes.</em></p><p>Because that kid had no idea how difficult life was going to become.</p><p>He just wanted to grow up.</p><p>He wanted to do something meaningful.</p><p>He had dreams that probably sounded stupid to everyone else.</p><p>He didn&#8217;t want success.. he just wanted to see what can happen when you try.</p><p>And yet somehow.. you are here.</p><p>You survived things that you once thought you couldn&#8217;t.</p><p>You achieved more than he could ever imagine.</p><p>You probably became the person that little guy once dreamed of.</p><p>And sometimes.. I think we forget to give ourselves credit for all these achievements.</p><p>We are so focused on what we haven&#8217;t achieved yet&#8230; that we completely ignore the fact that we are already living the moment which we once dreamed of.</p><p></p><p>But here is where things get interesting&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>Now imagine your 80-year-old self could see you.</p><p>And honestly.. I think that version of you might have a completely different reaction.</p><p>They might look at the life you&#8217;re currently living right now and say..</p><p><strong>&#8220;Why the hell is he playing it so small?&#8221;</strong></p><p>Because the 80-year-old version of you has something you don&#8217;t.</p><p>Do you know what that is? <em><strong>Perspective.</strong></em></p><p>They already know how quickly the years go.</p><p>They know that the things you&#8217;re stressing about today probably won&#8217;t matter nearly as much as you think they do.</p><p>They know that the opportunity you&#8217;re scared to take might actually be the one that changes your entire life.</p><p>They know that the person you keep telling yourself you&#8217;ll become &#8220;later&#8221; might never f*cking exist if you keep waiting.</p><p>And that&#8217;s what makes this whole thing so interesting.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Your 8-year-old self is looking at you thinking&#8230;</p><p><strong>&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe we made it this far.&#8221;</strong></p><p>While your 80-year-old self is looking at you thinking&#8230;</p><p><strong>&#8220;You still have so much more in you.&#8221;</strong></p><p>And I think both of them are right.</p><p></p><p>Because you should be proud of yourself&#8230; but you should also expect more from yourself.</p><p>You should be grateful for where you are.. without becoming comfortable with staying there forever.</p><p>And I think this is something ambitious people especially struggle with.</p><p>Because when you&#8217;re always chasing the next thing&#8230; you start believing that you can only be proud of yourself after you achieve it. But there is always going to be another thing.</p><p>You reach one goal and then suddenly there is another one sitting right in front of you.</p><p>One moment you are extremely happy because you achieved something you have been thinking about for years and five minutes later you&#8217;re stressing already about what&#8217;s next.</p><p>And let&#8217;s be honest here&#8230;</p><p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that because that&#8217;s what <strong>ambition</strong> does.</p><p></p><p>But the problem is&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>If you&#8217;re not careful.. you can spend your entire life chasing a future version of yourself while completely ignoring the person you are right now and trust me&#8230; that&#8217;s a terrible way to live.</p><p>Because one day.. you are going to be that exact 80-year-old version of yourself, you are going to look back&#8230; and you&#8217;re going to remember all those years where you thought you weren&#8217;t doing enough.</p><p>All those nights where you felt behind. All those moments where you couldn&#8217;t enjoy something because you were already thinking about the next goal.</p><p>And maybe you will realize that you were actually doing pretty f*cking well. Maybe the life you were so desperate to escape from was actually a life you should have appreciated more.</p><p>And you know what?</p><p>That&#8217;s why I think we need both sides.</p><p></p><p>You need the 8-year-old version of you to remind you how far you&#8217;ve come.</p><p>And you need the 80-year-old version of you to remind you how much time you actually have left.</p><p></p><p>The 8-year-old says..</p><p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m proud of you.&#8221;</strong></p><p>The 80-year-old says..</p><p><strong>&#8220;Now don&#8217;t waste what you have left.&#8221;</strong></p><p>And somewhere between those two voices.. I think you find the right way to live.</p><p></p><p>You can look at yourself today and genuinely say, <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m enough.&#8221;</strong></p><p>And then wake up tomorrow and say.. <strong>&#8220;But I can still become better.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Those two things can certainly exist at the same time.</p><p>The Internet has you believe&#8230; you have to hate yourself to want more.. but that is <em>not true.</em></p><p>You don&#8217;t have to hate yourself to want more.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to feel like a failure to become successful.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to be unhappy with your life just because you want to change it.</p><p></p><p>The best athletes in the world can win something they&#8217;ve spent their entire life chasing.. celebrate it.. and then go back to training.</p><p>Does that mean they don&#8217;t appreciate the win? NO.</p><p>They do appreciate the win.. but they don&#8217;t stop there.</p><p>They understand that being proud of what you&#8217;ve done doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re finished.. and maybe that&#8217;s how we should look at our own lives too.</p><p>Celebrate the f*cking win even if it&#8217;s small.</p><p>Look back sometimes and realise that the person you are today was once the person you were desperately trying to become&#8230; and then look infront and keep going.</p><p>Because there is still so much more that you can do.</p><p>There are still things you have never tried. Places where you&#8217;ve never been. People you&#8217;ve never met. Skills you&#8217;ve never learned.</p><p>And most importantly.. there is still a version of you that you haven&#8217;t met yet.</p><p>So don&#8217;t become so obsessed with becoming that person&#8230; that you forget to appreciate who you are right now.</p><p>And in the same way.. don&#8217;t become so comfortable with who you are right now that you never become that person.</p><p></p><p>Be proud of yourself but don&#8217;t stop.</p><p>Be grateful but stay hungry.</p><p>Know that you&#8217;re already enough and still have the courage and hunger to become more anyway because maybe the goal isn&#8217;t to finally arrive at some so called &#8220;perfect version&#8221; of yourself.</p><p>Maybe the goal is to keep becoming someone your 8-year-old self would be proud of.. while making sure your 80-year-old self doesn&#8217;t look back and wonder why you played it safe.</p><p>And if you can do that..

(Eg. Score 95% in exams, Lose 10 kg, Earn &#8377;1 lakh per month)</p><p>When we are setting a goal we are focusing on the &#8220;outcome&#8221; which is outside of our control.</p><p>But, a system is the daily process you will follow which will produce the outcome you want. (Daily actions, habits, structure, etc.)</p><p>Creating and following a proven system for your goals can&#8230;.increase your chances of achieving your goals by 95%</p><p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with setting goals.</p><p>But&#8230;setting goals without a &#8220;PROVEN&#8221; daily system to follow never ends well.</p><p>Here is a 4-step framework to BUILD a proven system for your goals:-</p><ol><li><p><strong>Define The Direction (Goal)</strong></p></li></ol><p>Setting a goal is the most important part in the system building process. It can help you to give you a clear direction.</p><p>Without a clear goal the system will have no specific direction&#8230;..and ultimately FAIL.</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;What is a clear goal?&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>Example:</p><ul><li><p>Vague: <em>&#8220;I want to make money online.&#8221;</em></p></li><li><p>Clear: <em>&#8220;I want to make $2500 per month online.&#8221;</em></p></li></ul><p>A system needs a clear &#8220;direction&#8221; to work towards&#8230;.and having a clear goal provides direction, meaning and creates long term consistency.</p><p><strong>Without Direction, Effort Becomes Noise And Time Becomes Loss.</strong></p><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Find The Daily Process</strong></p></li></ol><p>After you have defined the goal (direction).....you must discover the repeatable daily &#8220;actions&#8221; which will help you achieve your goal in the first place.</p><p><strong>A Goal Without Action Slowly Turns Into Disappointment.</strong></p><p>This is one of the most important reasons why 99% of new year&#8217;s resolutions fail.</p><p>Most people set goals for the year and feel really motivated for a few days&#8230;.and the moment when the motivation &#8220;fades&#8221; away the goal DISAPPEARS</p><p>Because they never spent enough time thinking about the daily ACTIONS&#8230;.which will help them achieve the goal.</p><p>Example:</p><p><strong>Goal:</strong> Lose 10KG</p><p><strong>Action:</strong> Exercise for 5x a week</p><p>             Control your food</p><p>             Sleep right</p><p>The repeated behaviour is the foundation of your system&#8230;.and a path to your goals.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Your actions should be small and easy enough to repeat daily</p><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Fix The Routine  (Time + Place + Exact Action)</strong></p></li></ol><p>After you have defined the exact actions needed to &#8220;achieve&#8221; your goal</p><p>Now you have to CREATE a fix routine for your goal (Time + Place + Exact actions)</p><p>Example: (Fitness system)</p><p>Exercise:-</p><p>Time: 7AM-8.30AM</p><p>Place: GYM</p><p>Exact actions:</p><p>Diet:-</p><p>Breakfast: (6AM-6.30AM)</p><ul><li><p>One Protein source (Egg/meat/fish)</p></li><li><p>Carb source (Rice/bread/oats)</p></li></ul><p>Lunch &amp; dinner: (2PM-3PM) (7PM-8PM)</p><ul><li><p>Half plate vegetables</p></li><li><p>One protein source (dal/eggs/paneer)</p></li><li><p>Limit fried &amp; sugar</p></li></ul><h3>Sleep</h3><ul><li><p>Sleep: before 10 PM</p></li><li><p>Phone off: 30 min before bed</p></li></ul><p>This is called a fixed ROUTINE for a specific goal.</p><p>A fixed routine:</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>Removes decision making &amp; saves mental energy</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>The brain avoids procrastination when it is placed under a fixed routine</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Builds habits through repetition</strong></em></p></li></ul><p><strong> A Fixed Routine Turns Good Intentions Into Automatic Behavior.</strong></p><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Track &amp; Repeat (Consistency)</strong></p></li></ol><p>This is one of the most important steps to build &#8220;consistency&#8221; in your actions</p><p>Most people fail to achieve their goal&#8230;.because they look at their &#8220;progress&#8221; for motivation</p><p>And, when they don&#8217;t see any progress they GIVE UP&#8230;</p><p>But, Tracking daily actions keeps motivation alive in the long run because you are focusing on something that is within your control.</p><p>Tracking shifts your FOCUS from perfectionism to progress.</p><p><strong>Success Is Not Built By Intensity.

Internal locus of control fuels motivations, builds resilience, strengths discipline, and reduces powerlessness in bad situations.</p><p>People with a strong locus of control believes</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;My habits shape my future.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;Effort increases my chances of success.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;I may not control events, but I control my response.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;If the results are bad, I can change my strategy.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>This is the belief system that fuels &#8220;self-discipline&#8221;. Internal locus of control focuses on the things&#8212;you could control which makes your mind more and more motivated to work harder.</p><p>Every successful person you &#8220;admire&#8221; has an internal locus of control. I have never seen someone succeed without having an internal locus of control.</p><p><strong>Discipline Is Believing That Today&#8217;s Effort Changes Tomorrow.</strong></p><p>Here are some litmus test questions for internal locus of control:</p><p><em><strong>1. Do you believe your daily actions shape your future?<br>2. When you fail, do you look for what you can improve?<br>3. Do you act even when you don&#8217;t feel motivated?</strong></em></p><p>If your answer <strong>YES</strong> to all 3 questions &#8212;you have an internal locus of control. </p><p><strong>2. External Locus Of control:</strong> External locus of control is a quiet belief that nothing you do will matter&#8212;so ultimately you give up. It is a belief that outcomes in life are controlled by forces outside of your control such as luck, fate, other people, or circumstances. </p><p>External Locus of control leads to low levels of motivation, helplessness, giving up quickly, higher stress &amp; anxiety and ultimately poor long term achievement.</p><p>People with an external locus of control believes: </p><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;Successful people are just lucky.&#8221; </strong></em></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;It failed because of bad luck.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;Hard work doesn&#8217;t guarantee results.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;My future depends on circumstances.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>This belief system is totally &#8220;dangerous&#8221;. </p><p>People with an external locus of control always believe that life happens to them, not because of them. This type of belief system never ends well. </p><p>Here are some litmus test questions for external locus of control: </p><ol><li><p><em><strong>Do you feel that luck plays a bigger role in success than hard work?</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>When something goes wrong, do you mostly blame circumstances or other people?</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Do you believe many outcomes are beyond your personal control?</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Do you wait for the &#8220;right time&#8221; instead of starting now?</strong></em></p></li></ol><p>If your answer <strong>YES</strong> to all 3 questions&#8212;you have an external locus of control. </p><p>If you have an external locus of control and you want to develop internal locus of control. </p><p>Here is a 3-step framework to develop internal locus of control: </p><p><strong>The ACT Framework </strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>A &#8212; Acknowledge What You Can Control </strong></p></li></ol><p>Acknowledging what&#8217;s in your control is the &#8220;foundation&#8221; of shifting from an external to internal locus of control&#8212;If you nail this first step then everything becomes easy. </p><p>Acknowledging doesn&#8217;t mean </p><ul><li><p><em><strong>Pretending everything is under your control</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Blaming yourself for problems</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Ignoring unfair situations</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>Acknowledging means &#8220;seeing&#8221; the part of reality that is within your control. </p><p>Even in bad situations your focus should be on your next decision, your response, your effort levels, etc. Having an internal locus of control means your focus is always on what you can control rather than things you can&#8217;t control. </p><p><strong>Actionable Step:</strong> Spend 10 minutes acknowledging the things in your life that you can control.</p><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>C &#8211; Choose One Small Actions </strong></p></li></ol><p>Don&#8217;t focus on a big plan, start by doing actions that could help you gain &#8220;control&#8221; in your life. </p><p>Small actions rebuild internal locus of control by giving brain proof that efforts can actually change something. </p><p><strong>Our Brain Rewires Through Evidence And Proof, Not Ideas. </strong></p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Never end the day with zero intentional action.</p><p><strong>Focus On Consistency, Not Intensity. </strong></p><p><strong>Actionable Step:</strong> Start by doing small actions that will actually help you regain control over your life.

       The Power Of Letting Go</strong></p><p>One of the most key aspects of emotional detachment is letting go. Letting go is the ability to release emotional control over something or someone without &#8220;denying&#8221; it never happened.</p><p>Letting go is also classified as &#8220;moving on&#8221;. Sometimes in life we need to let go of things that hold us back. It could be anything past trauma, failures, mistakes, etc.</p><p><strong>Letting Go Isn&#8217;t Losing What Mattered; It&#8217;s Losing The Grip It Had On You.</strong></p><p><strong>One Of The Best Ways To Practice Letting Go Is The SFR Framework : -</strong></p><p><strong>Step 0 - Identifying The Attachment</strong></p><p>Before learning about the SFR framework, you first need to &#8220;identify&#8221; what bothers you the most.</p><p>Apply <strong>Pareto Principle</strong> (the 80/20 rule). According to the Pareto principle, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions&#8212;In this case, identify the 20% of the attachments that &#8220;cause&#8221; you 80% of the headaches.</p><p><strong>For Example</strong>: There is a person A and he doesn&#8217;t practice letting go. Whenever he gets a thought of a bad event that happened in his life, he feels sad and overwhelmed.</p><p>One day, he notices that there are only 1-2 past events that &#8220;bothers&#8221; him the most&#8212;and he starts working on letting go of those 1-2 events. After working on those 1-2 past events most of his emotional &#8220;trauma&#8221; is gone.</p><p><strong>Step 1 - Stop Feeding The Attachment</strong></p><p>After you have identified the attachment that gives you the most headache, It&#8217;s time to stop the behaviour that keeps it alive.</p><p>Attachment to a bad event stays alive in your mind through small and repeated actions you perform on a daily basis&#8212;replaying conversations in your head, checking messages, profiles, or updates, Imagining future scenarios, Seeking reassurance from others, etc.</p><p>When you perform any action that feeds the attachment, your brain sees it as important and keeps the attachment alive.</p><p><strong>Step 2 - Feel Without Acting</strong></p><p>This is one of the core emotional skills of letting go. Most people fail to let go of something because they act to &#8220;escape&#8221; the feeling (Checking reassurance-seeking, Numbing, Overthinking, etc.), instead of letting the emotion be present and accepting it.</p><p>Acting on the emotions makes them grow stronger and stronger&#8212;Practice the art of feeling emotions without becoming a victim to it.</p><p><strong>Step 3 - Redirect Energy To Self Control</strong></p><p>Everything in life is about &#8220;energy&#8221;. When you feel emotions related to bad events&#8212;shift it towards something meaningful and productive (Exercise, Work, Study, etc.)</p><p>Shifting your energy towards something meaningful and productive&#8212;lead to a good life and make the emotions fade away with time.</p><p><strong>Letting Go Completes When The Emotional Energy Is Converted Into Self-Control.</strong></p><p>                                    <strong>         Chapter - 3</strong></p><p>                             <strong>Cultivating Emotional Detachment</strong></p><p>Remember,</p><p><strong>Self-Destruction Begins When Emotions Dictate Actions; Emotional Detachment Begins When Awareness Does.</strong></p><p>This is the final and most important part of this series. In this part, I will give you the practical ways to cultivate emotional detachment like a pro-athlete. You will get everything you need to become emotionally detached.</p><p><strong>Emotional Detachment Is The Space Between Feeling And Self-Destruction.</strong></p><p>One Of The Best Ways To Practice Emotional Detachment Is The<strong> O-D-A-R</strong> Framework :-</p><p><strong>Step 1 - Observe</strong></p><p>Observe means noticing emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensation as they rise&#8212;without judgement, interpretation and immediate reactions. i.e, you watch what&#8217;s happening inside you without becoming it.</p><p>Observing helps to experience emotions without judging them, suppressing them or acting on them.</p><p><strong>Observe Means Seeing The Emotion Clearly Before It Turns Into Action.</strong></p><p><strong>Step 2 - Detach</strong></p><p>Detachment is the deliberate release of emotional attachment to outcomes, future expectations, beliefs, and the need to control&#8212;while remaining fully present and responsible for one&#8217;s actions. i.e, you stop gripping what you can&#8217;t control.</p><p>Detachment helps to separate our feelings from actions and future outcomes which results in taking back control of our life.</p><p><strong>Detachment Is Letting Go Of Control Without Letting Go Of Responsibility.</strong></p><p><strong>Step 3 - Anchor</strong></p><p>Anchoring is the act of tying yourself to principles, values, and pre-decided rules so your actions are guided by clarity rather than emotions. i.e you tie your behaviour to something stable when emotions are unstable.</p><p>Anchoring means your actions are tied to principles and rules, not your mood. Anchoring removes decision making under emotions, shifts power from feelings to principles and turns detachment into action.</p><p><strong>Step 4 - Respond</strong></p><p>Responding is the deliberate choice of action&#8212;or non-action&#8212;made after observation, detachment, and anchoring, based on clarity rather than emotional impulse.

You need to understand the different kinds of attachment styles and how it affects you emotionally.</p><p>There Are Mainly 3 Attachment Styles :-</p><p><strong>1. Secure Attachment Style</strong></p><p>People with a secure attachment style &#8220;connect&#8221; deeply with others without losing their independence. A securely attached person is emotionally available, but not emotionally dependent on someone.</p><p>They value closeness, yet they are comfortable with being alone. They never expect someone to fill their void; they are complete without anyone in their life.</p><p><strong>            Securely Attached People Are Like A Tree With Deep Roots.</strong></p><p><strong>Here Are Some Litmus Test Question For Secure Attachment Style :-</strong></p><ol><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;When I feel upset, can I calm myself without needing someone else to fix it?&#8221;</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;Do strong emotions pass without hijacking my decisions?&#8221;</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;Can I sit with discomfort without immediately escaping it?&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ol><p>If your answer <strong>YES</strong> to all 3 questions&#8212;you have a secure attachment style.</p><p><strong>2. Anxious Attachment Style</strong></p><p>People with an anxious attachment style feel connection is necessary for emotional survival, but once they get it&#8212;the fear of &#8220;losing&#8221; it hijacks their mind.</p><p>Safety for anxious attachment style people doesn&#8217;t come from inside&#8212;it comes from the &#8220;connection&#8221; with others. Anxious attachment style is a nervous system pattern and not a personality flaw.</p><p><strong>     A Person With An Anxious Attachment Style Is Like A Guard On High Alert.</strong></p><p>Here Are Some Litmus Test Questions For Anxious Attachment Style :-</p><ol><li><p><em><strong>Do my emotions settle mainly when someone reassures me, not on their own?</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Do I feel emotionally &#8220;unsteady&#8221; when I&#8217;m not connected to someone?</strong></em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Does uncertainty feel almost unbearable to me?</strong></em></p></li></ol><p>If your answer is <strong>YES</strong> to all 3 questions&#8212;you have a secure attachment style.</p><p><strong>3. Avoidant Attachment Style</strong></p><p>People with an avoidant attachment style see &#8220;independence&#8221; as a form of safety. Their mind believes that the price of closeness is safety. Closeness feels threatening and risky&#8212;even if it&#8217;s with someone they like or care about.</p><p>They treat connection as a &#8220;medicine&#8221;. It&#8217;s better when taken a few times a week or month &#8212;But, when it becomes regular they hate it.</p><p><strong>                   A House With The Lights On But The Doors Locked.</strong></p><p><strong>Here Are Some Litmus Test Questions For Avoidant Attachment Style :-</strong></p><p><em><strong>1. When someone gets emotionally close to me, do I feel an automatic urge to pull back, get busy, or create distance&#8212;even if I like them?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>2. Do I feel calmer, clearer, or more like myself when I&#8217;m alone than when someone needs emotional closeness from me?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>3. When conflict or emotional intensity arises, is my instinct to minimize it, shut down, or think &#8220;this isn&#8217;t a big deal&#8221; rather than stay emotionally.</strong></em></p><p>If your answer is <strong>YES</strong> to all 3 questions&#8212;you have an avoidant attachment style.</p><p>In this email, you learned about the different kinds of attachment styles and how it &#8220;affects&#8221; us emotionally.</p><p>In the next email, we will learn about the power of letting go and emotional detachment.</p><p>See ya,</p><ul><li><p>Bishal (Founder of GOAT MINDSET)

day.&#8221;</strong></em></p><p>Most people believe that living long depends on luck and genetics</p><p>But, that could be further from the truth&#8230;&#8230;.</p><p>Yes! Genetics plays a huge role in longevity and there are many genetically blessed people who live past 100 years without doing anything.</p><p>However, If you&#8217;re not genetically blessed then you can also live past 100 years by following some simple and effective habits.</p><p>Here are the 3 simple and effective habits for longevity and health : -</p><ol><li><p><strong>Sleep</strong> - Sleep is the most important habit to live a long and healthy life. Sleep helps to repair, protect and reset your body. Sleep also decreases 10-15% risk of early death and adds 3-7 more years in your life.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Here are some practical tips to improve your sleep by 50% : -</p></blockquote><ol><li><p>Set a fixed bed time (Be realistic) (Choose a bed time that is suitable for you)</p></li><li><p>Eat earlier and lighter before sleep (About 2-3 hours earlier before sleep)</p></li><li><p>Add a wind down routine before sleep (It helps to go body and mind in a calm and relaxed state)</p></li><li><p>No screens before bed</p></li><li><p>Staying consistent (Consistency is the key) (Keep doing these habits for a long time and you will see result for sure)</p></li></ol><p>2. <strong>Exercise </strong>- Exercise is one of the most crucial habits for longevity. Exercise slows aging, protects the heart and keeps the brain sharp for a long time. Exercise acts as an indication to the body that it&#8217;s still needed.</p><p>Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind.</p><p>Here are some daily habits to add to your daily life : -</p><ol><li><p>30 minutes of daily exercise</p></li><li><p>Move throughout the day (Add 10 minutes of walk after every meal)</p></li></ol><p>3. <strong>Diet</strong> - This is the most crucial and complicated part. Different people have different opinions and views on diet but I will give you practical steps to improve your diet in real time.</p><ol><li><p>Focus on real food (90% of your diet should come from whole food)</p></li><li><p>Avoid overeating</p></li><li><p>Control your sugar intake</p></li><li><p>Be consistent</p></li></ol><p>These are the three pillars of health and longevity.</p><p>If any one of these pillars are broken then your health will deteriorate and your life span will decrease by 20-30%.</p><p><strong>&#8220;Longevity is built quietly&#8212;through restraint, consistency, and respect for tomorrow.&#8221;</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Embrace GOD</p></li></ul><p>Sexual sin can be a tough enemy to defeat and It looks different for different individuals</p><p>But, Sexual sin does a common thing of deviating us from <strong>GOD</strong></p><p>Even highly successful people struggles with sexual sin and lust</p><p>However, If you want to become a highly successful individual then you have to conquer lust.</p><p>One day, I was sitting on my table and researching about sexual sin</p><p>After a few hours I discovered a 5-step framework that could help you conquer lust and sexual sin</p><p>Here is the 5-step framework : -</p><ol><li><p><strong>Eliminate Easy Access</strong> - Victory in lust starts with changing your environment. Create your environment in such a way that it&#8217;s easy to win and hard to lose.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p><strong>Example</strong>. Delete trigger app (Instagram, twitter, tiktok, etc.)</p><p>                Installs a site blocker</p><p>                Change your physical habits (Keep your phone outside</p></blockquote><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Impulse Control</strong>- Sexual sin doesn&#8217;t occur at an instance, It starts from some kind of impulse or trigger. Most people fail because they let the impulse drive them to the action, Instead of distracting themselves with something else.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Next time when some lustful thought appears instead of letting it grow freely, start doing something else (Stand up immediately, Do 10 pushups, etc.) This stops the urge from growing.</p></blockquote><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Redirect Sexual Energy</strong> - One of the most effective ways to defeat lust is by redirecting sexual energy into something that makes our lives better (Lift heavy, Run hard, take cold showers, etc.) This is also called Transmutation of sexual energy.</p></li></ol><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Build Discipline Into Your Nights </strong>- Most failures happen during the night time. You need to build a routine and system for the night time (Sleeping early, plan evening, No phone during bed time)</p></li></ol><ol start="5"><li><p><strong>Set Yourself a High Standard</strong> - Start seeing yourself as someone who rejects lust and sexual sin, instead of seeing yourself as someone who resists it.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>It will help you to end the war completely because you see yourself as a person who doesn&#8217;t get involved in these activities.</p><p>Change your identity and change your life.</p></blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Every time you say no to lust, you say yes to God&#8212;and that choice slowly turns weakness into worship.&#8221;</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

discipline and hardwork</p><p>We can learn a lot of things from ronaldo</p><p>But, The ONE thing that we all should absolutely learn from him is his DISCIPLINE</p><p>So, I want to share 4 things Ronaldo taught me about DISCIPLINE</p><ol><li><p><strong>Consistency Over Time</strong>: True discipline is about doing the same habits every single day for the rest of your life.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Ronaldo&#8217;s performance has only increased over the years and never been down once. Ronaldo is 40 years old and still he is giving tough competition to 20 year olds. This shows Ronaldo&#8217;s discipline and dedication to the sport.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Discipline isn&#8217;t about doing the hard work for one day, It&#8217;s about constantly repeating good habits for a long period of time</p></blockquote><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Control Over Instant Gratifications</strong>: While other players indulge on late nights, unhealthy foods and girls. Ronaldo avoids those instant gratification activities for his long term goals and performance in the field. That&#8217;s what made Ronaldo the greatest player of all time.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Discipline is about saying no to everything which doesn&#8217;t push towards your goals and working on your goals relentlessly.</p></blockquote><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Structured Routine</strong>: Ronaldo follows a strict training, diet and sleep routine which allows him to avoid laziness and room for excuses.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Most importantly a structured routine strengths willpower and reduces procrastination.</p><p>In a world full of distractions, a structured routine makes it easy to stay disciplined on your goals.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: A structured routine acts like an autopilot for discipline, with a structured routine you stop relying on motivation to take actions.</p></blockquote><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Resilience &amp; Recovery</strong>: No one is perfect. Everyone has faced or will face setbacks in their life and how you deal with setbacks represents you as a person.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Ronaldo has faced many setbacks in the past (Injuries, criticism or bad matches) but instead of breaking down and falling apart he bounces back stronger. This is a different type of mental discipline you need to succeed in life.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Setbacks are a part of life, it will come and go but what matters most is how you deal with it. Build a strong mental foundation to deal with setbacks.</p></blockquote><p>Applied knowledge is power. <br><br>Focus on implementing the value in your life to become the best version of yourself.</p><p>See ya,</p><ul><li><p><strong>BISHAL</strong> (Founder of GOAT MINDSET)</p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

<strong>MENTALITY</strong>.</p><p>I believe anyone can achieve anything in life by adopting Ronaldo&#8217;s mentality and beliefs</p><p>Here are 4 things which makes his mentality totally &#8220;unstoppable&#8221;</p><ol><li><p><strong>Obsession With Growth </strong>- Ronaldo never allows himself to be comfortable. Even though he is the best player in the world, he constantly finds areas to improve.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Ronaldo understands that success is not a finish line, It&#8217;s an ongoing process.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Never stop working on yourself. Always look for areas which can be improved.</p></blockquote><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Relentless Discipline</strong> - Ronaldo is known for his super-disciplined life. DISCIPLINE is the one thing that separates Ronaldo from every other athlete.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Ronaldo follows a strict routine and structure for his daily life. Ronaldo doesn&#8217;t drink, doesn&#8217;t stay up late and doesn&#8217;t skip training sessions</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Success isn&#8217;t about talent, it&#8217;s about discipline and consistency for a long period of time.</p></blockquote><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Outwork Everyone</strong> - Ronaldo is a symbol of hardwork and dedication.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Ronaldo believes that hard work will always beat talent, when talent doesn&#8217;t work hard and he proved it with his performance.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: One of the best ways to become word class at anything is by outworking everyone in that field.</p></blockquote><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Unshakable Confidence </strong>- Ronaldo is known for his confidence in himself, sometimes people call it arrogance.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>But, that&#8217;s the secret behind his performance in the field.</p><p>Ronaldo&#8217;s confidence comes from his hours of preparation, relentless discipline and hard work outside the field.</p><p><strong>Takeaway</strong>: Believe in yourself fully even when others don&#8217;t.</p></blockquote><p>Ronaldo&#8217;s mentality can&#8217;t be achieved in months, it will take years.</p><p>But,</p><p>Have patience, work on yourself and everything will come at the right time.</p><p><strong>GREAT THINGS TAKES TIME.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://goatmindset.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

not with us and we feel purposeless during this time</p><p>But, God is always with us</p><p>Sometimes we just can&#8217;t feel it.</p><p>Here are 4 lessons to become closer to GOD: </p><ol><li><p><strong>Read any Religious Scriptures</strong> - Religious scriptures contain teachings and wisdoms which were given directly by GOD and passed down by his mentees. Reading a religious scripture means you are listening to God&#8217;s thoughts and words.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Reading religious scripture also helps you to strengthen your faith and connection with God.</p><p><strong>Actionable Step</strong>: Read 10 pages of any religious scripture (DAILY)</p></blockquote><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Pray</strong> - Praying is a form of direct communication with GOD. Praying deepens our understanding and trust with God.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Praying also helps us to open our hearts, get closer to God and experience his presence.</p><p><strong>Actionable Step</strong>: Add 15 minutes of praying on your daily routine</p></blockquote><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Listening To Worship Music</strong> - Worship music often contains words which are about praising God, his greatness, love and trust in him. It shifts our focus from daily worries to God&#8217;s love and presence.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Worship music is not just sound, it is a spiritual tool that helps you align your heart and soul to God.</p><p><strong>Actionable Step</strong>: Add 10 minutes of listening to worship music in your daily routine</p></blockquote><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Have a Friend To Talk About GOD</strong>: When you talk about GOD, you constantly remind each other about his love and gifts.

because you don&#8217;t have the right information</p><p>And if you don&#8217;t have the right information you will stay stuck in the same place forever</p><p>Here is a 4 step framework to overcome RUTS:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Identify The Root Cause</strong> - You need to have a clear understanding about the situation and you need to figure out what&#8217;s causing the problem</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Note: Laziness and lack of motivation is a symptom and not a problem.</p><p>Example: Nick has been stuck in a rut for a long time and he is struggling to get motivated and overcome laziness.</p><p>One day he decided to take responsibility for his situation and he found out that the reason behind his lack of motivation and laziness was bad physical health.</p><p>Actionable Step: Ask yourself what is the reason behind your laziness and lack of motivation (RUT)</p></blockquote><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Break The Pattern With Small Wins</strong> - Rut is an endless cycle of losing and disappointment. In order to escape from rut you have to break the pattern of losing with small wins</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Example: Nick has a goal to lose 10 Kg before 2026 but he is stuck in a rut for more than a month. He is constantly eating junk food and not doing any exercise.</p><p>One day he decided to do 5 pushups every day for a week</p><p>And slowly things were starting to get better</p><p>After a few months, he fixed his diet and started going to the gym.</p><p>Nick perfectly implemented the principle of small wins to overcome rut.</p><p>Actionable step: Choose a small win that you can get</p></blockquote><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Change Your Environment </strong>- Changing your environment is the first step towards self development.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>However, It can also help you to escape ruts.</p><p>Your Environment influences your actions more than anything and actions determine the result you will get in life.</p><p>Example: Nick implemented the first 2 steps and he got a fair amount of result in life but he always got back to the same place he was in the first place. The problem is not Nick but the environment he is in which is keeping him stuck.</p></blockquote><ol start="4"><li><p><strong>Create a Break The Rut Ritual</strong> - Break the rut ritual is a quick go routine whenever you feel low.</p></li></ol><blockquote><p>Example: Nick realized that ruts are a part of self development journey. Nick decided to create a routine which will help him to get out of a rut.</p><p>Break Rut Ritual (Nick) -</p><p>Do 5 Pushups</p><p>Do 5 minutes work</p><p>do 1 minute of meditation</p><p>Actionable Step: Create your own break rut ritual for yourself</p></blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;God Doesn&#8217;t Gives You Battles To Weaken You, But To Shape You Into The Person You Were Meant To Become&#8221;</strong></p><p>Don&#8217;t treat ruts as a bad thing</p><p>Ruts helps us to become stronger and build resilience</p><p>Mindset: Ruts are a part of the self development journey.</p><p
