Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.
Most ultra successful people have a very low need for social approval, although society tends to label this incorrectly as a red flag.
The average person is terrified of looking like a fool or bothering people. I’ve met CEOs that will send ten follow-up emails to a dream hire or pitch their idea to a stranger in an elevator without a second thought. This personality type means they can bypass the politeness instinct that slows down everyone else’s career.
Hesitation to ask for help or feedback is a common bottleneck in most professions; someone who isn't slowed by the fear of being annoying can squeeze a year’s worth of progress into a week.
There are very few things in life that shameless persistence won’t give you.
the dumbest way to live is to keep getting dragged down by losers and toxic family. everyone who’s ever clawed their way from zero to millions knows the drill,go quiet and cut the dead weight when you're down,link up with the big players when you're rising,and only keep the real ones when you’ve made it.
there’s a saying: don’t try to be the hero for the broke. they don’t want your advice they want your cash and they’re just waiting for you to fail. it sounds harsh, but it’s real.
you want to get in the room with the pros? you’ve either got to bring game-changing value or show you’ve got the guts to go all in. add a little thick-skinned friendliness, and you can break through any wall. the only real shortcut to turning your life around is simple: change your zip code metaphorically. stop hanging out with the bottom-feeders. get around people who are ahead of you, and watch how fast your entire reality opens up.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
True #Peace begins in a heart that loves. It is witnessed to by lips that speak words of reconciliation. It is reflected in eyes that look upon the world with gentleness and wisdom. Only the strength of truth and love is true strength. Whoever trusts in God understands this proclamation of peace and becomes an instrument of peace, building it with their own hands.
