By tracking EVERY hour of his life.

Here's a breakdown of his system:

Here's an example of mass low agency:

We put a man on the moon before we put wheels on luggage

Everyone accepted suitcases without wheels as the best practice - because everyone else did

The greatest minds of their generation used to carry their suitcases until the 1970s

2. The Rise Of Negative Media

Since 2010, the media massively increased headlines that use fear, anger, disgust, and sadness.

It's no surprise the media isn't covering this 😅

Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player on the planet.

While talented but he's been using a forgotten system of goal setting since he’s been in high school.

It's called the Harada Method & here's how it will help you achieve your biggest goals:

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

Step 1 is to answer questions based on self reliance.

It's a gauge to see how self reliant you are and gives you a baseline with which to work with.

Once you find your baseline your goal is to improve upon them.

The questions can be accessed at the images below:

School bus driver has a heart attack. This is what a hero looks like. There are 20 souls on this bus. 19 of them didn’t move. One young man immediately jumps into action. This is what real masculinity looks like. This is a young man saving everyone’s lives on this bus.

Empty Success

***

In 1985, Jim Carrey wrote himself a $10 million check.

He dated it 10 years in the future for “acting services rendered.”

Carrey was 23 years old then.

A fledgling actor struggling to find work.

He carried the check in his wallet everywhere he went.

If acting didn’t work out, he was likely headed for a Canadian steel mill.

But it did.

10 years after writing that check, Carrey got his big break.

In 1995, he got the role for “Dumb and Dumber.”

***

There’s a famous Carrey quote on success.

After making it big in the movie business, Carrey said:

“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of, so they can see that it’s not the answer.”

You can roll your eyes at the quote.

It’s easy when you’re rich to say being rich “is not the answer.”

But there’s a powerful lesson in that quote.

It’s the lesson of empty success.

***

All of us pursue a superficial version of success at some point in life.

Money. Fame. Power. Status. Whatever.

Author @nytdavidbrooks calls this the “First Mountain.”

Then through wisdom and growth we find our “Second Mountain.”

The version of success that’s not empty.

The version that’s fulfilling.

***

Here’s my main takeaway from this:

We must define “success” for ourselves.

Everyone else’s definition will leave us empty.

There’s nothing wrong with being rich and famous.

But if we spend our lives chasing the world’s scoreboard, we will lose.
