Beliefs can support us, and help advance us forward.
But soo too can they limit us, and can prevent you from living the life that you know deep down... you are very capable of living.
If you, right now, are being held back by beliefs (of any kind)?
I want to encourage you to seek evidence of the contrary, and allow yourself to realise; your resistance was nothing other than a narrative.
The only thing truly holding you back, was the story you were telling yourself, and the limitations you accepted as a result of listening to it.
The most important thing is what you tell yourself.
And you have the power to begin telling yourself a different story.
On any day of your choosing.
Namaste.
This goes hard af
Napoleon Hill on poverty/money consciousness:
“POVERTY is attracted to the one whose mind is favorable to it, as money is attracted to him whose mind has been deliberately prepared to attract it, and through the same laws.
POVERTY CONSCIOUSNESS WILL VOLUNTARILY SEIZE THE MIND WHICH IS NOT OCCUPIED WITH THE MONEY CONSCIOUSNESS.
A poverty consciousness develops without conscious application of habits favorable to it. The money consciousness must be created to order, unless one is born with such a consciousness.”
Focus.
Focus is MOAT - one of the fastest ways to get ahead and separate yourself leagues above everyone else.
Micro focus and macro focus.
Micro = Most people cannot sit down and focus on one thing for 30 minutes uninterrupted. Most people’s brains are fried, and attention spans are cooked. Basic, simple, tasks are a challenge for them. No real gains are ever made as a result of sporadic effort. Genuine work ethic is getting rarer and rarer. Being able to concentrate your attention on one task to the exclusion of everything else is moat.
Macro = People waste so much time it’s crazy. They fill their life with bullshit. Their conversations centre around meaningless bullshit. “Killing time” is killing your life. Hardly anyone even knows what they want out of life, because they’ve never sat down and actually thought about it. This makes long term progress across what actually matters…. Impossible. It is imperative that you fixate on a long-term vision and channel your energy into getting closer to it every single day.
You need to get focused, and stay focused.
Stop wasting your time, energy, and attention on trivial, fleeting, meaningless bullshit.
SNAP OUT OF IT.
WAKE UP.
“All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.”
― Napoleon
raw confidence + gentleman like charisma + unshakable discipline + strong willpower + burning obsession + childlike creativity
you can have it all. this is the real cheat code to being one of the 0.01%
Your life will get better in direct proportion to the degree to which you stop expecting people to read your mind,
And instead, clearly communicate your expectations, needs, wants, boundaries. Etc
You will have the MOST ENERGY when you walk through the world as if you are PASSIONATELY making love to everything in it
Choose to see the BEAUTY, AWE, and WONDER, hidden behind the mundane and ordinary… that everybody else seems to mindlessly sleepwalk through.
And watch what happens.
Few will understand.
This isn’t a man worth becoming.
You’ve traded the things that are important for some cash.
You’re proud of the income, but the man and soul are lacking.
Resist.
The world really is your playground
You create your own video game
You can choose the characters
Pick your environment
Craft your environment
Choose what skills to level up
What story to write
You make it whenever you want
That’s the fun part about life once you realize how much power you really have over it
You aren’t God but you are the main character in your own world of your own creation
