1 Book Summary

Choose Your Enemies Wisely by Patrick Bet Davidson.

Why was it so powerful?

It unlocks the secret to sustained motivation.

Many people have asked me: How can I be motivated in life?

The most motivated people in the world are the ones who have enemies.

An enemy could be:

• Fear of failure

• Perception of failure

• Someone you hate

• A childhood trauma

• A failure & bad memories that give you drive

• A person who laughed at you

• Professional obstacles

• The pain of betrayal

• The weight of detrimental relationships

The most unmotivated people in life are the ones who don’t have enemies.

So to ignite motivation, you need to choose the right enemies.

By recognizing and engaging with our chosen battles, we unlock a wellspring of motivation and resilience, propelling us toward our greatest achievements.

So, how can you get motivated in 90 seconds or less?

I want you to close your eyes for a moment, and visualise an enemy. A person who laughed at you. Someone who said that you CAN’T accomplish a task. A friend who didn’t believe in you. Visualise the moment they were laughing.

How do you feel? Can you feel that anger within you that wants to prove the world wrong?

Right. Do you feel more motivated now? Do you feel ready to climb a mountain, to write an essay, to become a millionaire, to crush your competition?

I DO. And I bet you do too.

Let’s accomplish it together. This is just the beginning.

No one will recognise you in 1000 days. You are a different breed.

2 Ideas From Me:

1. Have you tried to go on a long walk while listening to an audiobook?

It’s truly incredible.

Within 1 hour, you get your daily steps in, and you’ve listened to a quarter of a book.

2. Have you tried to take 30-50g of protein every morning? Do you notice a difference in your concentration?

For myself, I’ve noticed a massive increase in cognitive function, and I can get a lot more done.

5 Great Quotes:
