Inner Rival – Motivation to Succeed
One of the main lessons I have learned in life is that without work, there are no rewards.
It has been more than a decade since I started diving deeply into spiritual topics, manifestation, energetic tools, and more.
At that time, when I was starting out, I felt like I had discovered a new world (and indeed I did) — a world where magic exists, everything can be achieved just by changing one’s mindset, and the tools I discovered (such as subliminals, frequencies, and later morphic fields) are omnipotent and will fulfill everything for me in the blink of an eye.
I was fortunate enough to have a background in sports and to work closely with top athletes and successful people, which also gives me perspective from the other side.
Motivation, discipline, daily routine, and working on one’s goals — in the “hustle world,” that is the path to success, health, money, and more.
Over the years and through experience, I found that matter and mind are one, they complement each other, and for real, tangible, and lasting changes, it is necessary to work on both sides of the polarity — body, mind. Matter and thought. Motivation and manifestation.
The problem I see with a large portion of members in “spiritual communities” is that they can get stuck too much in that pole of the mind. It’s not bad; the mind creates our reality. But at the same time, we live in a physical world and our results simply cost time, cost effort, and we have to earn them.
That is one of the operating parameters of this game.
And that is also the reason why someone who is consistent day in and day out, has a routine, a vision, and goes after what they want can achieve it much faster and better than someone who merely listens to fields or meditates, but doesn’t take the necessary action steps.
This brings us to the main part.
Motivation.
From experience, it is very difficult to maintain a routine and strive for growth in life day after day when comfort and relaxation are so easy.
Throughout my life, one thing has been repeatedly confirmed to me.
The most progress in life, the greatest growth I ever achieved, was when I was competing with someone, trying to surpass someone.
Whether it was in sports or in business. But at the same time, it had to be someone who had the same or similar conditions as me. The same background, the same opportunities, the same chance of winning.
And I see this even among the best UFC fighters in the world. When a fight is announced and they know that their opponent is definitely doing their utmost every day to win, there is no room to do anything half-heartedly — not a single workout, not a single day.
Every day, I have my opponent.
I call him Filip.
I imagine myself in a parallel reality as my opponent.
Filip in the parallel reality has the same background, opportunities, and abilities as I do — but he has one key trait: he does everything at 100%.
When he doesn’t feel like waking up early in the morning and going to work out — he gets up and goes.
When he doesn’t feel like working after lunch — he still goes and does what needs to be done.
Day after day.
If my opponent operated like this, he would surely achieve all his goals sooner or later. Failure does not exist where there is discipline, vision, and direction.
When I look at him through different eyes, what actually makes him different from me? When he achieves everything, the only difference will be that he does everything consistently, has a vision of where he is heading, fulfills what is necessary every day, and tries to squeeze maximum potential out of every day of the game of life.
Success is then a combination of 2 things — vision and perseverance.
Discipline, but one that is generated every day when I don’t feel like doing what I’m supposed to by telling myself, “Well, Filip will do it and beat me.”
And the only chance to beat him is to do everything 100% like him and move forward in life myself.
Creating your “alter ego,” with whom you playfully compete every day for success, is great motivation for every day.
Doing everything to the fullest, utilizing your potential and the potential of what the whole game (life) has to offer. At least for me, it works amazingly well.
Every evening I write down the goals I have for the next day, and during the day I simply fulfill them, and I’m done.
With every single task I complete that I set for myself, every day, I build momentum.
Every small success feeds the energy and appetite for the next ones.
With every small step forward, I am closer to the goal and have a greater desire to keep going.
And it works the same way in reverse — with every piece of procrastination, laziness, or weakness, we build negative momentum. And it is entirely up to us which path we choose to take.
Life is too short not to make the most of it.
This game is about growth.
Growth is fun and fills every day with a zest for life.
What can you do right now?
Create your “alter ego opponent”
Set a clear vision of where you are heading
Every evening, write down the steps you will take the next day.
And every day?
Meditation? 
Fields?
Visualization?
4 hours of work on my business?
Healthy food?
Workout?
Family?
In a year, you will be unrecognizable.
Fields are great tools, but they aren’t magic; they cannot replace consistency, regularity, action taking, and discipline.
Demand more from yourself, and from life. Life is great.

A beautiful message and very apropos.
I will begin setting small goals for myself and contemplating the version of me that is in it 100%.
This gave me a new vision of the path. Thanks, Filip!

I have to add, this gives me a great boost for work, too. The subject matter there is vast and ever-changing and I’m sure there’s a me that takes that bull by the horns! This is especially good because it is unlike how I have thought about it before when contemplating identity and core concepts.

Yes, for everything.
Your current “identity” is also just a accumulation of everything you do daily. All small action steps, all decisions, reactions, etc.
Everything builds up - positive and negative.
When you start building positive momentum, its easier each day as you continue doing it. Every small success builds self-respect, self-love, etc.
When you look back at the things you have achieved in your life - they rarely come out of thin air, rather by momentum of action + change of your inner self.
