This year be willing to look embarrassed if you want to achieve your new goals. Anything you start new, you will suck at. You will be embarrassed. But you will survive.
Then you will realize that looking like a fool lasts a moment, being one that never started lasts a lifetime.
You feel behind because you’re in a rush.
You’re in a rush because you feel behind.
You feel behind because you're in a different season than the people you're comparing yourself to.
You're not behind.
You're just early.
You're on your own timeline.
Your success in life will boil down to your ability to tolerate difficulty without changing your course of action.
Everything is hard and no one cares.
Anything you start, you will suck at. You will be embarrassing. But you will survive.
Then you will realize that looking like a fool lasts a moment, being one that never started lasts a lifetime.
No one can convince me otherwise but I feel anything and everything has a formula that works but people just haven't figured it out.
for example, you could become a better more profitable trader or a better writer or a better whatever, you just haven't hacked it out.

If you want to live an exceptional life, then you can’t expect to take the same actions, live the same lifestyle, or tolerate the same standards as everyone else. By definition, you must be the exception.
Get sunlight and move outside
Sunlight boosts vitamin D.
Vitamin D supports testosterone.
Also, being outside regulates dopamine naturally.
Walk.
Stretch.
Breathe fresh air.
Your body was not designed for constant indoor living.
Replace stimulation with challenge
Dopamine should follow struggle, not precede it.
Examples:
• Work before entertainment
• Exercise before social media
• Reading before videos
This retrains your brain to enjoy effort again.
That is power.
Hard work only pays when it’s on the right things
Many people work hard but on the wrong tasks.
If you can make $15 per hour, stop doing chores that waste your time.
Delegate low-value work so you can focus on activities that grow your income.
Focus is the real advantage.
It’s never been easier to succeed or to get distracted.
If you can stay consistent with one thing long enough, success becomes almost certain.
Unpopular opinion that should not be unpopular:
People who obsess about work life balance are typically mediocre at both.
Obsessed people apply their obsession to everything and just call it life.
If you want something, YOU need to go get it.
You have to be willing to be extreme to have extreme results.
Nature didn’t give you intelligence at birth.
It gave you a system that becomes intelligent when trained.
You were not born with a fixed capacity. You were born with “adaptability”.
The human brain is a learning system. It rewires itself based on:
1. What you focus on
2. What you repeat
3. What you practice under pressure
This is why two people with similar backgrounds can produce radically different outcomes.
One trains their system. The other runs on default.
