Let me ask you something a little uncomfortable…

Are you a drifter?

Now, before you go full defense mode, hear me out.

I used to be one.

And not in the “I take naps and eat cookies all day” kind of way. I’m talking full-blown directionless hustle. Waking up, getting “busy,” but somehow ending the day wondering what the hell I actually accomplished.

It’s like being stuck on a treadmill with Instagram reels playing on loop in your head.

Then I read a book that punched me straight in the soul. Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil. And no, it’s not about pitchforks and hellfire—it’s about YOU getting in your own way. About this sneaky little trap, Hill calls “drifting.”

A drifter is someone who’s always “doing” but never going anywhere.

Scrolling endlessly. Watching the news. Complaining about the economy, government, or why Facebook ads just aren’t working anymore, bro.

Hill calls this the devil’s playground. I call it the ultimate self-sabotage.

And here’s where it gets personal…

Years ago, I knew I had to leave Israel. Things were getting dangerous. But I sat on my hands. For six months, I had the paperwork ready to move to Canada, and I still didn’t do it.

You know why?

Because I was drifting. Not out of fear. Out of foggy indecision. I needed clarity. I needed fire under my ass.

So I did something radical.

My mentor told me, “Write down 100 reasons why you MUST move.”

I got to 67. That’s it. But by that point, I was on fire. The fog lifted. It became impossible not to act.

That’s when I stopped drifting. Cold turkey. Action. Movement. Progress.

Since then? I live with intention. I race cars. Shoot guns. Rock out at concerts. Fly in military helicopters (yes, for real). I build moments worth remembering instead of numbing myself with ones I’ll forget.

You either design your life or distract yourself from it.

So… what’s it going to be for you?

Are you going to let the devil win?

Or are you going to start writing your own list—your 67 reasons—to do what you’ve been putting off finally?

You’re either drifting or driving. There is no middle lane.
