If you need perfect conditions to start it means your success is conditional. If you want unconditional success, then be willing to start in under any circumstance. That includes the one you’re in right now.
You don’t become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self-doubt
Outcome over ego. Velocity over speed. Quality over quantity. Effective over efficient."Ability over experience. Progress over perfection.
Consistency over intensity. Competence over charisma. Environment over willpower. Long-term over the short-term.
Correctness over consensus.
Mastery requires both impatience and patience.
The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time and to work with a sense of urgency each day.
The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate and to trust the process.
It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to obtain it.
If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.
Allow yourself to be bored. Write with nothing to prove and walk with nowhere to go. See where your ideas take you as you think like a builder instead of a consumer. If you scroll, do it with intention, do it to connect, do it to explore. But don't do it if you're bored.
Merely believing you deserve something doesn't make it a reality... but believing you don't deserve something will prevent you from trying.
Most people are capable of more than they believe. Confidence won't automatically get you results, but self- doubt sets your limits.
You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are. On the other hand if you don't change how you are, you'll always have what you got. Happy new year 2023!
Hard work is not always something you can see. It is not always physical effort.
In fact, the most powerful form of hard work is thinking clearly. Designing a winning strategy may not look very active, but make no mistake: it is very hard work.
Strategy outperforms beats sweat.
Not everyone 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 very convenient! The world is big and that means you can chase your dreams with little to no worry for what people think.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Being yourself is a continuous effort.
There is always another expectation placed upon you, another person pulling you toward their preferences, another nudge from society to act a certain way.
It's a daily battle to be yourself, not merely what the world wants you to be.
Many people are not ready for their lucky break when it comes to them.
Develop your skills. Study your craft. Build a network before you need it. Lay the ground work.
The prepared person is positioned to benefit from unexpected opportunities.
