My friend was always looking at old pictures and videos of him and his girl.
Doing that would always remind him of the good times and made him forget about all the lies, cheats, and arguments.

2. BACK TO THE BASICS
Anyone who’s ever played sports got this drilled into their head:

It was in watching one by David Goggins that I realized:
I wasn& #39;t happy with who I saw staring back at me in the mirror.

The most common advise you see on Twitter,
Whether you want to be a high value man or have a sense of mental clarity,

My advise is no different.
However, it wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I realized,
And this is the most important lesson here:

And this is the most important lesson here:
I went back to what I was doing before I got into the relationship.
