Major cheat code for life: Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true. It’s a mindset of active optimism. Earned faith. It creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate the uncertainty of life better than anything else.
The easiest way to avoid looking bad is to do nothing, but if you do nothing, you look bad too.
So if you're going to look bad either way, you as well do that thing you want.
Aristotle was right when he said we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act. It is a habit. Your daily routine is your future on autopilot.
There is no such thing as a "transformation", only transmutation...
...Taking something and creating something entirely new and better out of it.
Only what appears to most has been transformed, but underneath it all, it has been transmuted.
And as such, the best way to transmute your life into what you've ever wanted is to simply transmute the building blocks of life and the world into the right building blocks to build your business, life, and anything else...
...And the best way of doing this is to take everything and anything that happens and find a reason as to why this is good for you...
...Ah, the economy sucks...good, more people will need help figuring out how to make this online thing work.
...Ah, GLP1s are eating away the weight loss market, no more customers...good, that means most of your competition is gone, and now a small number of very focused customers who don't want to touch GLP1s will come to you.
...Ah, A.I. is eating away everything...good, because one thing A.I. sucks at is making decisions, and businesses can't move forward without making decisions, so the more they use A.I., the more they'll get stuck and need even more help.
...Ah, you've got no money, and you're broke? Good, because that means you've got all the time and freedom to learn and grow and build your life exactly how you've always wanted.
So on and so forth...
...Keep transmutating everything that's bad into good, and then suddenly one day you'll wake up and realize...
...That, nothing is happening TO YOU, it's all happening FOR YOU...
...You just couldn't see it, but now you can, and that's when everything suddenly changes.
Use this thought to crush it this week, and every week after.
