A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi:
“The single greatest skill you can develop is the ability to stay in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about.”
Until it happens to you, you think you're too careful to make that mistake, too smart to fall for traps, too mature to lose control, too private to be exposed, too religious to drift, too responsible to collapse. Life dismantles every identity built on certainty.
Never ever judge people’s decisions in situations you’ve never been in. Keep your judgment to yourself until it’s your turn to experience what they went through.
Having a good manager really changes your work ethic. You start doing your job better, coming to work early and happy. Some managers don’t realize how much their actions affect their employees’ performance.
Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.
Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it as the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.
Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you’ll regret. Slow down to speed up.
Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.
In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.
There is a Japanese Legend that says:
"Whether it's a machine, a house, or a relationship... Maintenance is always cheaper than repairing." What you don't maintain, you eventually lose.
A friend of mine used to say: “Show up on time, with a good attitude, and do what you said you’d do. That’s it. That’s 90% of winning in life." The older I get, the more I realize just how right he was.
One thing I've realized is that, you don't need to vent to your friends about everything that you're going through. Sometimes it's okay to just pray about it and move on. Let it be between you and God.
