People tend to say that perseverance is the key. But what they're often missing is, that in many cases, perseverance is the result of a lack of other options...

April 2023
Just noise..
The only thing that really matters is the thing that pushes you to change things and to take action. Try to figure out what that is and do more of that. Everything else is just noise...
| |
|
It's never the right time...
When things are going well, you're busy making sure they continue to go well. And when things aren't going so well, you're busy improving things and making sure that things don't get worse...
| |
|
So difficult...
We're taught to know things. And not to understand things. That's what makes it so difficult...
| |
|
Looking for answers
Most people aren't looking for answers. And instead, they're looking for confirmation. Try to keep that in mind...
| |
|
The hard way...
Life lessons can't really be taught. Unfortunately, most of the really important stuff can only be learned the hard way...
| |
|
Convinced of it...
If you're not 100% convinced of it yourself, you'll never be able to convince anybody else...
| |
|
Yourself first...
Before you'll be able to convince anyone else, you've gotta convince yourself first...
| |
|
What everybody else is doing
The problem is that no one is going to tell you to do the stuff that only you can do. Because only you can figure out what that stuff even is. And if you don't figure it out, you'll end up where everybody else ends up, doing what everybody else is doing...
| |
|
The next step...
Certainty, stability, comfort, convenience and a lack of volatility hold you back from the next step...
| |
|
A blank canvas...
Failure sets you free. From fear. From pressure. And from expectations. From your own expectations. And from other people's expectations. It's a fresh start. A blank canvas...
| |
|
A new thing...
If your new thing has to be better than your old thing right from the very start, then there'll never be a new thing...
| |
|
Before you're forced to...
The best time to start reinventing yourself is before you're forced to reinvent yourself...
| |
|
The best and probably only way...
The best and probably the only way to really learn from mistakes and understand something is when you're losing your own money. And not someone else's...
| |
|
It never stops...
The same things that pushed you to start something new, are the exact same things that'll push you to keep starting something new. It never stops. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
What's stopping us...
We stopped asking questions because we're too afraid of the answers and their potentially uncomfortable consequences for our lives...
| |
|
Never forget that...
The media amplifies the exceptions and ignores the rule. Never forget that...
| |
|
Do more...
You'll rarely remember the things you've read, listened to, or watched. On the other hand, you'll always remember the things you've done...
| |
|
Life changing jobs...
The job that will change your life the most is the job you create yourself...
| |
|
This gives you freedom...
Most people know what to do. Some people know what to do and how to do it. But just a few people know what to do, how to do it, and are actually really doing it. Mastering all three of them will give you freedom...
| |
|
Already too late
Most opportunities don't look like opportunities at first. And instead, they often look like uncertainties, threats and risks. And once it becomes obvious and they do look like opportunities, it's usually already too late...
| |
|
Play when no one else is...
If you only play when everybody else is playing, you'll never be able to win...
| |
|
How much do you have?
It'll always take as much time as you have. No matter how much or how little you have. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
Experience...
It doesn't really matter how many years of experience you have. After all, most people just experienced the same year over and over again...
| |
|
Quickly and unexpectedly...
We usually overestimate how quickly good things can happen to us, while at the same time, we underestimate how quickly and unexpectedly bad things can happen to us...
