Self Improvement Thread-John Cena Edition

[JohnCena]

I am in a similar situation, all I can say is: do not let the words of others get to you brother, because as long as you are alive, InshaaAllah you can change your situation

Thanks dude, that means a lot. You should make your own thread as well, it'll help keep track of your goals!

There are multiple things I want to improve on especially as I'm nearing 30 years old(turning 27 this year)

1) I need to get my driving license

2) Need to make 50k+ in my field and hopefully 100k by 30

3) Need to achieve 10% bodyfat and get down to my goal weight of 150-155lbs(Currently at 165 at around 16-17%)

4) Eat more healthier

In hindsight everyone of us has a milestone or two that they would have loved to achieve earlier but don't worry sxb, there is no universal schedule to keep your gaze fixed upon, most biographies have slight twists and turns, be it in terms of time, location, interest, calling/passion or whatever other in-/outward variable
+ you have accomplished a lot so far and you are still going for more achievements within your potential which is highly commendable and the most important lesson to be learned

Learn to understand that this world is temporary short-lived hype which can burst any minute.

Then you will be content with where you currently are and can work towards your goals at your own pace.

Thank you bro. I love all the support from this thread. I will make sure I reach all my goals.

Just wanna update and say that I passed my full G driving test today! I have officially achieved one of my personal goals.

Time to work on the others. Hoping to accomplish and complete all these goals by the end of the year.

I got a job interview later with a really good bank(RBC), hope that goes well.

Grind never stops.

Very good that you're setting goals for yourself. I would advice you not to put a price tag on your happiness i.e. having a certain income at a certain age. Seek fulfilment from tangible things, perhaps qualifications that will enable you to earn a certain income. Give yourself more time to ease the pressure and avoid disappointment. As Gary Vee says 'it's about the process, don't chase the end result'.

I have doubled my bruto salary in two years time but i am still facing the same life issues as before. Salary is overrated.

Though it's good to have ambitions, the highest of ambitions is paradise. Don't chase this wordly life.

Thanks for this great message and I agree strongly with your message. Honestly bettering myself though through these goals can help me achieve my true paradise(marriage, kids, house, help m family if they have issues etc)

Exactly, I ticked most of these things by the time I was 19, except the salary one which is a milestone I've reached at 25. Not sure if I should feel like shit for feeling good about myself at OPs expense.

Everyone is different. Have some empathy.

I have been getting leaner as of late thanks to working out and staying consistent and it's amazing. I got about 10 more pounds left and I'll have achieved my goal.


To any of the lifters out there, don't ever bulk past 15% bodyfat. Being muscular yet fat is shit compared to being lean muscular and fit. Always stay at around 10-15%.

Once I hit my goal weight of 150lbs, I am going to recomp and forever stay around this weight. Never going past 160 ever again. Thankfully I was blessed with good shoulder and arm genetics so I look much bigger than what my weight is.
