Bro to bro: We’re not failures, and we’re not broke. We just started with nothing. No daddy’s money. No rich relatives. No easy connections. Everything we have, we’ll build with our own hands, and that will make it worth more.
Seeing stars play terrible in the finals makes you realize how great MJ’s legacy was.
6-0 in the finals. Dominated and won every finals he played in. Didn’t have a single bad finals performance.
MJ was different.
When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.
For f*ck sake. Be optimistic. Be extreme. Be relentless. The world is waiting for you to raise the bar and finally go all in. Execute. Inspire. Show us what’s possible.
You will become rich if you genuinely focus for 6 months. Not half committing to three different ideas at once. Actual locked in, tunnel vision, one thing focus for six months straight. Most people have never genuinely done this even once in their life. They think they have but they have not.
