A secret to happiness is doing hard things.
Because nothing feels better than a hard earned win. Nothing.
The pain. The struggle. The resilience. The grit. And then, the reward. The thrill of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve.
Hard things are good for the soul.
Banks treat you nicely when you’re rich.
People treat you nicely when you’re in shape.
Companies treat you nicely when you’re skilled.
Don’t hate the game; Accept it and play accordingly.
Don’t fuck up your progress trying to rush the process. Brick by brick. Day by day. Step by step. That’s how you build. You can’t rush greatness!
The most important financial decisions you’ll ever make have nothing to do with money. They are:
Nothing is more expensive than bad habits and bad company.
If you have to force yourself to do hard things, you’re not going to make it. I can’t think of one successful person who hated their entire way to the top. Their desire to succeed was so much stronger than their desire for comfort that they couldn’t help but do the hard thing.
Command your subconscious daily to shatter limiting beliefs and ignite your unstoppable power.
One of my favourite Naval Ravikant quotes is “you are a story that you tell yourself”. For better or worse, you get what you think about. You could be the hardest working person on the planet but if the story you tell yourself is that you’re average, then you’ll live an average life. This is why the most successful people are often described as “delusional”. The stories they tell themselves are incomprehensible to the average mind. If you want a better life, tell yourself better stories.
Every second you spend is molding who you are as a person.
Are you proud of how you spent your time today?
Are those the actions that will turn you into a superhero?
Without discipline, emotions rule you. With discipline, you act beyond feeling. And in that mastery—freedom begins.
