The Parable of the Farmer and the Horse:

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

“PSA: 20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your kids.”

I am of two minds on this:

1. Being present and spending time with those you love is the most important thing in the end.

2. Having the people you love see you work hard on things you care about is a principle they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Understanding, navigating, and balancing the tension across these two minds is how I believe you ultimately "win" the game.

My father’s ability to balance the two minds is something I will always remember.

He would come home for dinner, play catch with me outside, then work late once I went to bed.

Much of my own discipline came from seeing him work hard on things that lit him up intellectually, while never allowing it to get in the way of what was most important to him (his family).

Importantly, I always felt connected to his work because he took the time to explain the things he was excited about—why he was working hard on them and what he hoped to achieve with them.

Perhaps the debate is less about one or the other—about work or life—and more about how they come together—about how your work can flourish within the context of your entire life.

Just as we reject the default setting, I would argue we needn't accept the false dichotomy of work or life, of resume virtues or eulogy virtues.

We can have both...

One thing I’ve learned in the last year: Your entire life can change with one year of focused daily effort.

If you bring the energy every single day, there are quite literally no limits to what you can achieve.

Never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The greatest prizes in life are the result of delayed gratification.

The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment found children who delayed gratification went on to have better life outcomes, such as educational attainment, body mass index, and more.

Delayed gratification is the key.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The idea that we have to wait for luck to strike is one of the most significant lies we’ve been told.

If you want to get lucky, start increasing your luck surface area.

It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home.

It’s much easier to get lucky when you step out into the arena.

Your entire life can change with one year of focused daily effort.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Reminder: Closed mouths don’t get fed.

If you want something—and you’ve done the work to deserve it—ask for it.

Worst case—you’re told no.

Best case—it’s yours.

Don't sit back and wait for good things to happen. A little push goes a long way.

The Surfer Mentality

When a surfer gets up on a wave, they enjoy the moment, even though they know the wave will eventually end (and maybe crash on them).

They enjoy the ride—knowing that there are always more waves coming.

A powerful mentality for riding the waves of life.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The person who loves to climb is going to go so much higher than the person who just loves the view from the summit.

I challenge u for the New Year to take time out for urself.
Quiet the noise. Reflect. Find what u truly want in life.
Stop starting things u know u are going to stop anyway. Make sure all of ur time is spent w/ the proper people & on the path leading to ur ultimate destination.
