🔆Learning is the no.1 tool to escape the grasp of the matrix.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

It’s never easy, fast, or works the first time.
Get over it.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

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.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Nobody cares.

When you’re winning, nobody cares. When you’re losing, nobody cares. Stop fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about you. Nobody is thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. Go do the thing.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Simple mindset shifts:

– I'm not hurt, I'm healing.

– I'm not losing, I'm learning.

– I was not rejected, I was redirected.

Negative things happen. Negative mindsets make them harder.

It takes everyone a different amount of time to realize that all suffering is self inflicted.

A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi:

“Your life will get better the moment you stop waiting for it to get better and force yourself to get better.”

@Carlos_ROcelote Is that gods plan Carlos? such strange phenomenon only had this feeling a few times in my life.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You don't need to chant how amazing you are, or feel inspired by the person you are to win.

You just need to repeat successful actions longer and more diligently than any reasonable person would. And that - thankfully - has nothing to do with how you feel today.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You can boil success into:
Focus + Patience

And they’re so hard because they’re so anti human.

We want new stuff—>unfocused
We want stuff now—>impatient

People fail from poor self control more than poor work ethic or intellect.

You’re not too dumb, you’re too undisciplined.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

The people who succeed most in life can do one thing for extraordinary amounts of time without needing immediate reward.

You don't lack self-esteem, you lack self-control.

[Skyler Higley @skyler_higley]

you’re dumb if you didn’t know this already God literally said it right after making Earth

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

People who cannot create value often try to create emotional debt. They remind you what they suffered, what they gave, what they meant, what they hoped you would notice. Be careful. Guilt is often the currency of people who have no leverage left.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Your entire life will change when you learn to love what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

No amount of living life in your twenties...

Will make up for being broke in your 30's and 40's.

Tell your friends to f!ck off. Cancel your back packing trip. Learn to print first dear child.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

My grandfather told me this: "You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary." You can get pretty damn far in life by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work. I'll never forget that.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

The easiest way to trap a man is to make him proud of enduring what he should have left. Call his suffering loyalty, call his silence maturity, call his exploitation responsibility, and he will stay long after the arrangement has started feeding on him. Pride can become a leash.

[Adrian Mac @mradrianmac]

Having courage means facing your emotions.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

What happens when you die:

They divide up your shit.

They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.

People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.

Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.

Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.

You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.

Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
