“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time… Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come.”
— Habakkuk 2:2–3
If you cannot commit to do the same thing over and over again.
You'll not succeed in most things.
You'll not succeed in your passions, 9-5, entrepreneurship, leading yourself, leading people, friendships and romantic relationships.
The boring stuff is what makes life worth it.
be delusional. no one ever changed the world by being reasonable. don't be reasonable, that's for lifelong employees at jobs they don't like.
you need to be delusional to win. like unhinged, like the world is on fire and you'll still win.
that is simply what it takes.
The people who win, in big ways, are the people who ignore most of society's messaging...
"You can't tackle that" "You're too old" "It's impossible"
Most people would greatly benefit from shutting off their eyes & ears to what the majority have to say.
if you want to collapse the timeline between where you are and where you want to be, the 'how' is actually incredibly simple. it takes three steps: 1. align your identity with your desire, 2. create a non negotiable routine that locks that identity in, 3. commit to that routine until your physical reality catches up.
never underestimate the power of the right information at the right time. perfect timing and the right books, blogs, and videos can have such a deep impact that they can change your life. there is nothing more important than information you can't stop thinking about months later
You are not born with value, you build it. If you're a man, you either succeed or get erased. Study your personality, master a single domain, then dominate. The world respects output, not potential. Play the success game like your life depends on it, because it does.
The fastest way to detect manipulation is to watch for people who push urgency without giving you time to think, so build a rule where you never agree to important decisions in the same moment they are presented, because time pressure is often used to bypass your judgment.
"Unsuccessful people believe the game is rigged.
Successful people *know* the game is rigged, and learn how to play."
Truest statement you'll read today...
Play the game you're in.
Be civil to everyone. Be close to almost no one. Access to you should be earned slowly and revoked quickly. That's the price of having standards. In your entire life, the amount people can be trusted without a doubt can be counted on a single hand.
