Notes and lessons to self

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

Action is the catalyst for progression
Progression implies comfort
However comfort may lead to entropy
Be careful

~Is what I’ve learned

If one wants a rainbow, one should first deal with rain. People want the finer things in life, but to acquire them, one should be willing to put themselves through pain. One should be willing to suffer

~Is what I've learned

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

Stasis and comfort scare me
They've been creeping up on me these past few weeks
Ambition calls
And yet I find myself falling back into baseline desires and comforts.
Why do I only feel like pushing once entropy ensues?

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

Setting your dreams aside for the pressures of life is quite annoying but sometimes necessary.

What one shouldn't do is forget those dreams for the monotonous certainty of continuous comfort.

~ Is what I've learned

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

The mind craves order
Order creates certainty
Certainty results in clarity
Clarity leads to action
Action is the catalyst for progression
Progression implies comfort
However comfort may lead to entropy
Be careful

If you have a vision, Plan
Often the only reason we don’t attain our goals and vision is because the necessary steps towards them lack clarity
Once you have clarity, it’s about consistent action
It’s nothing you haven’t heard before
So take the necessary steps

" Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim "
" Be patient and tough, someday this PAIN will be useful to you "

Just keep going
Take it one day at a time
We all have to

Incremental progress
Refers to the small steps that improve the decided area of life

5 things one can do:
Setting Clear goals
Starting small
Tracking progress
Seeking feedback
Being patient

[Naval @naval]

The great ones don’t do it for money or fame or power.

Or to build an institution, or to help others, or to save the world.

Like a child tinkering, they create it for its own sake.

Free of the burden of ambition.

Deaf to the demands of the world.

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

If you have a vision: Plan
Plans give clarity
Clarity certifies goals
Goals present a path
Paths change and that's fine
Because if you lack a vision, you will live someone else's

"TRULY, THOUGHTS ARE THINGS—and powerful things at that when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches or other material objects". - Napoleon Hill

[Iman Gadzhi @GadzhiIman]

My first million took 4 years.

The second took 8 months.

Making a million dollars isn’t the hard part.

Becoming the guy who makes $1M is.

If you're starting out,

Don't focus on money.

Focus on character development.

Focus on skills.

The money will come.

I promise you.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Create a vision for your future.

Break it down into:

- Yearly goals
- Monthly goals
- Weekly goals

Then, forget about the goals. They are only there for direction.

Focus on 2-4 lever-moving tasks every single day and you won’t have to worry about your future.

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

Happiness should not be chased due to it's fleeting nature
Chase all, feel all, even the bad
Chase to experience life in it's entirety
What finer thing could be asked for?
~ Is what I learned

[Don Makon @DonMakon]

Imperfect action is better than delayed action

The latency between what one does today and the rewards they reap in the future is often overlooked

@LeilaHormozi Understandable

At the end of the day regardless of how you feel,the outcome will be the outcome.

So focus on input, focus on action
