Keep it Simple

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”

[James Clear @JamesClear]

A Monday morning question for you:

You may want the result, but do you want the lifestyle?

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Confidence and fear both require believing in something that hasn’t happened yet. Why would you choose fear?

[Noam.OU @ou_noam]

Always make the harder choice.⏳

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money.

3 things nobody told you:

1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.

No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.

Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus.

This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way.

It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing.

And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution.

That's how you make money.

2. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do.

Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate.

Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing.

Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things.

If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare.

If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it.

3. You don't need passion, you need energy.

I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion.

You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them.

Passion is usually a byproduct of energy.

When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win.

***

And remember: Nobody is coming to save you. It’s just you. There’s a power in that.

Go do the thing.

You control your:

• Time
• Effort
• Habits
• Beliefs
• Mindset
• Attitude
• Spending
• Thoughts

Stop blaming outside forces for where you are in life.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

If you wait for anything to be "ready," you will not win. It is never ready, you are never ready, you never will be ready. Just do the thing anyway.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

What you avoid controls you; what you face frees you.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

There are at least 4 types of wealth:

- Financial wealth (money)

- Social wealth (status)

- Time wealth (freedom)

- Physical wealth (health)

Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Challenge yourself when life is easy, so you'll be ready when life is hard.

🚨 Crypto: Bronze Age of Scams (Richard Heart)

Controversial founder of crypto currency Hex, Richard Heart, created a new layer-one blockchain called PulseChain which raised $2 Billion dollars in it's sacrifice phase.

Is it a scam, a cult, or something worse?

This video exposes Cabal groups, hackers, and networks of influencers using social engineering in cryptocurrency. Felony charges are pending and it’s time to expose the truth.

Nobody is rooting for you to fail.

Maybe you’ll succeed. Maybe you’ll fail. For the most part, nobody cares one way or the other.

This is a good thing! The world is big and you are small, and that means you can chase your dreams with little worry for what people think.

Nobody tells you this: Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It’s the dopamine from reading, planning, or learning, but never doing. Stop looking for more information and start acting on the information you already have. Get your dopamine from action.

Call me old fashioned, but I think you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.

Metabolism is “burning calories.”

Uh… sure…

and chess is just “moving pieces.”

Ask yourself this question three times and try to refine and improve your answer each time:

What do I really want?
