I’m convinced that hard things are good for the soul. Because there’s nothing better than a hard-earned win. The pain. The struggle. The adaptation. And then the reward. The feeling of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Do hard things.
@SahilBloom The good life is built in boring reps. One walk. One page. One meal. One hard talk. One focused hour. You don’t change your life in one move. You change it by becoming the kind of person who keeps showing up
Your entire life will change when you learn to love what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in life is the willingness to change your mind. Certainty isn't strength. The most impressive people change their minds often in response to new information. It’s a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
There is clear scientific evidence that the people you surround yourself with determine your outcomes.
The Pygmalion Effect is the name of the behavioral phenomenon where we rise to the level of expectations of those around us.
So, if you surround yourself with people who push you to think bigger, who believe you are capable of more, you will rise to the level of those expectations.
But conversely, if you surround yourself with people who tell you to be realistic, who belittle your ambitions, you will fall to the level of those expectations.
Be deliberate about the people to whom you gift your precious time, energy, and attention. Your environment determines your outcomes.
Choose wisely.
Nobody told you this about success: Rent is due every single day. A lot of people seem to think that after you make it you can coast in the idyllic land of success. This is wrong. Every single day, you have to fight to earn your seat at the table. And that fight gets more intense as you have more success. You have more to lose. More mouths to feed. More people counting on you. More expectations. There's an old saying that I love: Every morning in the savannah, the gazelle wakes up and knows it must outrun the lion or be killed. The lion wakes up and knows it must outrun the gazelle or starve. Whether you're the gazelle or the lion, when you wake up in the morning, you'd better start running. Rent is due daily. Pay it with pride.
Life advice nobody told you: Talent and intelligence are overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.
Be boring in the right ways. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Eat simple foods. Save money. Exercise. Read old books. Avoid drama. Boring is seriously underrated.
