Master discipline, identity, and independence before you merge paths with someone else.
Committing to someone before you commit to yourself and your goals is absolutely insane. Period.
You only get one life — and limited hours in that lifetime.
To commit to another person before committing to your purpose is to willingly limit your own potential. You cut off access to your highest self before you even meet them.
Too many people chase the one before they even find and chase themselves. They want to build with someone before learning how to build alone.
Partnership is powerful. The right one can elevate you astronomically.
But it should never replace your personal drive to become something — or someone — on your own.
The first person you should ever commit to is yourself.
Commit to discipline.
Commit to health.
Commit to self-control.
Commit to financial independence.
Commit to personal development.
Commit to understanding and attacking your weak areas.
Commit to becoming the type of person who can stand alone — so that when you do meet a partner, you’re equally yoked, not equally dependent.
Because when you commit to someone before you even know who you are, you risk losing yourself completely or never finding your highest self.
And when you lose yourself, you lose the very thing that could’ve taken you farther than any relationship ever could.
You can go farther with someone — but only if you start with yourself.
