Time is not your friend

Time is not your friend


The 20s are over, the boy must now become a man, 

Stop mucking about and get to it,

Time is more thin. 

Before you know it, another 5, 10 years will have passed. 

Thus, the only solice is satisfaction, and that comes from progression. 

Not in mere words and thoughts. 

But visible progression, measured over a certain time span. 

Regret is not an option. 




Why you must wake up now 

We often take life for granted. We live as if we have endless time, not realising it could all end in an instant. At the same time, as we grow older, we regret missed opportunities, especially when time speeds up, and youth slips away. These feelings usually bubble up during personal crises—like a health scare or a family loss.

We need to realise that time is limited. If you have goals, dreams, or aspirations, pursue them now.

There is no tomorrow.

Keep sleeping through life, and the heavy hand of regret will hit you hard, maybe leaving you unable to recover. How great would it be to turn that weighty regret into a firm handshake with success?

Wake up—right now.


Time is all you have 

We don’t know how much time we have left, so it’s wise to make something of it. Too often, we view free time as something to “kill.” But why waste the one thing that could heal your problems?

Of course, time needs to be paired with effort and direction; otherwise, it’s wasted. But remember, time can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

So, what will you do with your time? I know I need to be smart about it—giving time away like I did in my 20s is no longer an option. I can blink, and suddenly I’ll be 40—or worse. The margins are thin, time is thin, but time is all I truly have.

Failing the 300kg Deadlift - before I even got there

Failing the 300kg Deadlift - Before I even got there The goal was always to get to 300kg, and despite the advances in strength, I ultimately failed at 280kg, without giving 300 a real good go. Deadlifting 220kgx6 in December 2023 Context The goal to pull 300kg really took shape after the strength gains of 2023/24. I managed to take my deadlift from a 1RM of 220kg all the way up to 260kg. The following year (2024–25), I added another 15kg, getting to 275kg. I even managed a 280kg pull in December 2024. This was achieved by pushing my bodyweight from around 80–82kg all the way up to over 105kg. 80kg vs 105kg How it started The first big weight gain began in 2023 as I steadily increased my calories and finally broke past 200lbs (July 2023). After that, my weight — and deadlift — exploded. In a few weeks, the progression looked like this: Early July 2023: First time hitting 220kg in 3 years. Following week: 220kg x 2 reps. Early August 2023: 230kg x 2 (new PR — first time eve...

This will all mean something - if you're willing to work

 "These times will all mean something - but only if you are willing to work - right now, doing the MOST you can." HIGHER SELF It's happening for a reason What is happening right now is meant to be, and deep down, you knew this would come. The problem many of us have is that we avoid situations for as long as possible – but they always come around in the end – in some way, shape, or form. Rather than avoiding them, we should be actively trying to experience, and eventually solve, these situations. I know it sucks, but it’s here now, so we must learn to live with it. Reframe the narrative around the story. What’s happening is a life lesson and something that must be experienced. Better to resolve it now than in the future – when things could be ten times worse. Everything happens for a reason Do it NOW With every precarious situation we face, there is an opportunity to take action, and we mustn’t delay. To do it now, or even earlier, is to succeed. To delay is to inevitably...

Cultivate your inner warrior

 Cultivate your inner warrior spirit "We all have that warrior spirit within - unleash it and let it out - do not cower and run - instead face life head on. Become unstoppable ".  Porthcuro Beach, Cornwall - May 2025 The Inner Warrior As men, we all have that inner warrior. The problem is, quite often it has been dampened and left to die. We must revive it – but a word of caution: it won't be easy. The inner warrior needs fuel to come to the surface – and stay there. Years of neglect, of listening to others, bending to society’s will and ultimately becoming a shadow of the man you could be, have led to the present scenario – the inner warrior is dying. But he is not dead yet. Our inner warrior always comes to the rescue in times of peril, anguish and danger. But he should actually be the heartbeat of life – here for even the most menial of tasks. Inner warrior = masculinity. Where has yours gone? Where has your inner warrior gone? Cultivating your Warrior Spirit  It ...
