It's torture...
It's hard to do the work that no one told you to do. It's torture. But it's the only work worth doing. Because it's the only work that only you can do...
| |
|
It must be...
The greater your expectations, the greater your patience, perseverance and discipline must be...
| |
|
Nothing at all...
It's probably not good enough. Fast enough. Nice enough. Or detailed enough. But it's still better than nothing at all....
| |
|
The initial problem...
By trying to avoid problems we usually end up creating even more problems. Problems that are often much bigger than the intial problem ever will be...
| |
|
No one else...
If you're not passionate about the things you do, no one else will be passionate about the things you do...
| |
|
More of that...
Figure out what the thing is that pushes you to take action and to keep taking action. And then try to do more of that...
| |
|
What do you do next?
What you do next matters a lot more than what you did in the past. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
Education gets you a job...
Education gets you a job. But a job rarely gets you freedom. Only being able to build something out of nothing gets you freedom. So how do you learn that? Only by doing...
| |
|
The result...
The result of doing things you don't believe in for too long is that you'll sooner or later also stop believing in yourself...
| |
|
Never been wrong...
If you've never been wrong, you'll never know for sure if you were really right...
| |
|
Your decisions...
In the long run, the content of your decisions is far less important than to stick to them, to not second guess them and to not change course over and over again...
| |
|
In the future...
The things you've achieved in the past are in the way of the things you're capable of achiving in the future...
| |
|
Let's get it...
The difference between what you want and what you have depends on the things you're willing to sacrifice to get it...
| |
|
Enjoy it...
It's very hard to succeed at the things you don't enjoy doing. Because there'll always be people that enjoy doing it. And it's just really hard to compete with someone who's really good at something and actually really enjoys doing it...
| |
|
The opposite
In the long run, our need for safety, stability and predictability leads to the exact opposite...
| |
|
On your terms
You can start today. Or you can wait until you're forced to. But if you wait until you're forced to, it'll rarely be on your terms...
| |
|
What you're looking for..?
If you're too busy searching you might be end up not seeing and missing the things you're looking for that are actually right in front of you...
| |
|
Along the way...
You can spend your whole life trying to find the right recipes. Or you can just start cooking and figure it all out along the way...
| |
|
Afraid of failure...
If you're afraid of failure you're probably not giving it all you've got...
| |
|
How many times?
It doesn't really matter where you are right now. What matters is how many times you can get back up again to reach your destination...
| |
|
Stories...
The best stories are rarely the ones where everything goes right. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
It's you...
The only thing that can ever destroy your dreams is you. Because you're the one who isn't working on them...
| |
|
Playing that game...
To be able to change the game, you've gotta know its rules inside out. And you've gotta understand how to really play that game...
| |
|
Beginner's mind...
Everything you're good at today is something you were not so good at in the past. Keep that in mind when starting something new...
