You will never succeed, as long as you think you don’t matter. You’re not important, even if that allows you to enjoy life more, because you don’t care, or you don’t give a damn anymore. 

You must think to yourself, I wanna succeed at the highest level, in order to attain the bare minimum. 

If you are not important enough, you will have no reason to succeed, to not settle, to not accept the bare minimum in life.

If you’re not important, if you don’t matter, why even try?

Your energy will naturally get drained and depleted, because of such beliefs. And you will never have enough energy to fix your life, much less attain anything extraordinary, if you don’t think you are important enough to deserve what you’re aiming for or trying to accomplish.

Self-esteem is essential for success. You can’t have anything in life without it, even if you wanted to.

Making slow, small, even tiny little progress, consistently on a regular basis, regardless of the quantity, amount, or quality, will always be more than enough. It’s not about getting somewhere because of that. It’s about consistently and continuously making progress, on a regular basis, no matter the outcome. This fixes your mental health, sharpens your abilities, and keeps you in shape, enough to make the big moves, that actually make the big changes happen. 

Most of you think that you need to stay consistent because the overall progress you make over a prolonged period of time as a result of consistently showing up and making tiny little progress on a consistent and regular basis will get you there and make you succeed.

That might be true in some instances, but it’s not the whole picture.

At some point, you’re going to need to make huge leaps and big moves in order to make change happen. In order to make a difference. In order to make serious everlasting progress and significant advancement forward.

That requires a ton of energy and focus. This requires momentum. And you build that momentum, by consistently showing up and making progress, regardless of the quantity or quality of that progress.

You will not have that if you’re inconsistent. You will be out of shape. You will not have what it takes to make those big moves.

It is not about building the habit of consistently showing up on a regular basis. It’s not about slowly getting there steadily over time without even trying, in order to not burn yourself out.

It’s about building enough momentum of progress and change that gives you and provides you with enough reward to be able to operate and perform at your highest level and full potential. You are no longer sand-bagged or slowed down by lack of progress or momentum, and now you have no problem with working longer and harder without getting exhausted, because you no longer feel like no matter how hard or long you work or try, you will never make enough progress to make a difference or see significant impact, improvement, or change in what you’re trying to accomplish or reach.

You have to understand that lack of outcome, progress, significant achievement or accomplishment in and of itself is draining to your motivation and energy, and makes you think, why bother, no matter what I do, it’s too late, I’ll never amount to anything, and I’ll never get there, and I’ll never make it, and I’ll always end up nowhere. Because even if you work at maximum capacity for a whole month or even a whole year, you’ll feel you still have nothing, and still have accomplished nothing, and you’ll never make it, and you’ll never get there.

Momentum and progress, even if attained extremely slowly over a prolonged period of time, will cure and end all of that, and will make trying to make more progress feel like a normal thing to do, that does not drain you, but in fact energizes you, and eliminates the feeling that the tiniest of tasks will always feel like moving mountains in terms of difficulty and challenge. It will end the perpetual belief and sense that no matter what you do or how hard you try, it’ll always be in vain, and you’ll never get anywhere.

All you need is consistent momentum of progress from consistently showing up, regardless of how how you feel, until that happens. And now, you no longer have to settle for breadcrumbs of progress or achievement every session or time you try to work on anything, because you already have the energy, fuel, momentum, motivation, sense of accomplishment, success, reward, and achievement, and intelligence and cognitive abilities to accomplish anything, in one day.

How to deal with players with main character syndrome on your team.

Keep playing as if they don’t exist. As long as they are not dying, they will win you the game at some point. 

Your job is to prepare on the side for when that happens. Make sure they never die in team fights. They will then get ultra kills and end the game. 

Unless intentionally hard griefing the game, these people are your winning condition. They are VERY strong and know what they’re doing, but they are not high immortal or all-knowing. 

I used to think I’ll always lose because of them. Until I saw they delay until they become unkillable. 

You need others to be strong in order to win games. Do not solo carry every single game. Let others do it, and modify the outcome of fights from afar on a carry hero that can step in and still 1 v 9 if your team couldn’t a hundred percent do it on their own. 

I noticed the games that I win have two characteristics. I tend to average 40 to 60 kills and assists with less than 5 deaths, and I have teammates who are all good and strong, even if the enemy team is still better. 

You can’t 1 v 9 with bad teammates. It’s extremely hard and very rare and you must have no counters and space created. Since Crusader, you need all teammates to be good at the game, except maybe the supports. Do not tilt your cores no matter what. 

I’ve seen my cores play 1 billion plus their normal performance the second they think I’m smurfing from top 100. Do not judge until you stomp and reassure them that you have their backs. (As opposed to a clinkz with random kills that lead to nowhere and protects none of your teammates). 

Tip of the day: Always stay behind one of your cores, and ask one of the supports to be with you both at all times. Do not farm miles away from your team and then tp to fights. Unless you have boots of Travel 2, you will always arrive too late. The dead lane concept is everything. Jenkins has an old video about it. It’s the reason why you’re losing in low MMR.
