18 lessons I had to learn the hard way:
(I wish I’d figured these out way sooner)
bookmark + save for later
1. There is a strong correlation between willingness to look stupid and likelihood of success.
2. You don’t need more time… You need more focus.
3. WHEN you begin matters more than WHERE you begin.
4. Your beliefs limit you more than reality.
5. Inaction is the only thing that produces guaranteed results.
6. You are the only person standing in your way.
7. Cheap dopamine is the most expensive dopamine of all.
8. The world wants you to work harder for a paycheck than for your dreams.
9. You cannot consume your way to fulfillment. It can only be created.
10. If you’re waiting to be told what to do, you’ll never be free.
11. The universe doesn’t care how you feel. It cares what you do.
12. Failure is the most information rich dataset in the world. Seek it out and use it.
13. You can’t slay the dragons you refuse to acknowledge.
14. Most any belief held with sufficient conviction can be made true.
15. People connect more with your failures than your successes.
16. A good night’s sleep solves many of modern life’s problems.
17. You can’t win if you don’t start. And you can’t lose if you don’t quit.
18. The gap between where you are and where you’re going never closes.
The gap between where you are and where you were only ever grows.
Frustration occurs when you only ever focus on the first.
Gratitude when you focus on the second.
