Leo parvum caniculam dum latrat constupro.
The lion rapes the small dog when it barks.
Harsh? Yes.
Appropriate? Absolutely.
It’s not about violence. It’s about focus. When the noise gets loud — distractions, group chats, guilt trips from people who don’t train, don’t build, don’t push — the lion doesn’t turn around and bark back.
He finishes the hunt.
That’s the motto I live by. I start every morning with CrossFit or strength training. I run my business like a fighter’s camp. And I keep my phone off more often than not — because I don’t have time for notifications from people who don’t even own a calendar.
❌ Cut the Slackers Loose
Let me say this as clearly as possible:
If you have important work to do and people in your life keep inviting you out, dragging you into distractions, complaining that you’re “too intense” — cancel them.
If you hang around with five lazy people, you’ll become the sixth.
And the world has enough weak-willed time-wasters.
Hangouts can wait. Your mission can’t.
🔕 Turn the Damn Phone Off
If you’re behind on schedule, your phone is not a tool — it’s a parasite.
Turn it off. Not for an hour.
Try three days.
No stories. No reels. No memes. No DMs.
Just you, your grind, and a little silence for once.
Slackers get anxious when they’re not constantly checking their phone. High-achievers get anxious when they’re not making progress.
Which one are you?
🕒 We All Have 24 Hours — You’re Not Special
Every person you admire — every elite performer, athlete, entrepreneur — has the exact same number of hours in a day that you do.
The difference?
-
They don’t waste five of them texting.
-
They don’t skip gym because someone begged for brunch.
-
They don’t get distracted because someone’s feelings might get hurt.
If your slacker friends think you’re “too busy”, GOOD.
That means you’re finally working on something real.
📧 Asynchronous Communication is King
Productive people don’t live in the replies.
They live in the results.
Email is the communication style of clarity, hierarchy, and priority. It respects schedules. It forces thought. It builds businesses.
Incessant texting, on the other hand, is for unproductive losers who don’t have anything else going on.
If they cared about your time, they’d respect the delay.
If you cared about your future, you’d stop replying to nonsense in real time.
🦁 Final Word: Be the Lion. Ignore the Barking.
You’re not here to please.
You’re here to build, train, and win.
Next time someone sends you a “why are you so busy” text, send them this article. Or better — say nothing at all.
Because silence is how champions answer distractions.
