There were two friends that grew up together.

However after they were done with their education, they went their separate ways.

One friend became extremely successful in every aspect.

The other friend however, became the exact opposite.

But no matter how different their lives became, those two friends still kept in touch.

In fact, they talked to each other every day.

That's because those two friends were actually the same person.

The first friend was that person's best and ideal version, while the second one was his worst version.

You and me both have those two friends inside of us. All of us do.

And we have the potential to become either one of them.

Which one we end up becoming though, is determined by the choices we make each and every day.

I bet you have many goals in life. I know I do.

It's good to have them.

But when you focus on your goals too much, you can actually decrease your chances of achieving them.

In this video I'll explain why that happens and why instead of focusing your goals, you should focus on creating a system.

You might have noticed that sometimes when the afternoon rolls around you become less productive. From roughly 1pm to 4pm, to be more precise.

During that time, you're not as motivated to do the work, you have a harder time focusing, and even the work that you do, is of lower quality.

A lot of people around the globe experience this exact phenomenon every single day.

And it has a name: the afternoon slump.
