Always think in terms of how things serve you.
Your mental space is much more limited than you think.
If you fill your mind with unnecessary thoughts, it will wander and get nowhere.
The key to focus is keeping priorities in sight and assessing situations depending on how they serve you both long and short term.
You don’t want to be a victim of your own distraction.
You don’t want to waste your time and energy on things that do not add anything to your life.
Does it serve your short-term interest?
No: Forget about it.
Yes: Does it serve your long term interest?
No: Forget about it.
Yes: Go for it.
If your actions serve both long and short term?
You’re winning in life.
Anything else is a waste of time.
And time is the one thing you don’t have.
Your life is ending one second at a time; make the most of it.

Guys once again, don’t click any links in the comments.

Old ways don't open new doors.
You cannot expect different results by making the same mistakes over and over again.
At some point you must change your ways.
You must acknowledge what you do wrong, learn the lesson and head toward a new direction with your newfound knowledge.
You can learn from your own mistakes.
You can learn from the mistakes of others.
You can learn from your own successes.
You can learn from the successes of others.
The lessons are abundant and everywhere if you simply pay more attention.
You won't break the cycle if you refuse to do things differently.
One of the definitions of intelligence is actually being able to adapt to different situations.
And those different situations?
That's every day.
If your days feel like copies of each other?
You're going down the road of regrets and unfulfillment.
You don't want that and I don't want that for you.
I'll tell you exactly how to break these cycles on my next email.

“A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”
Understand this.
On the deepest of levels.
You do not need to be accepted by others, they need to understand the importance or the danger you represent.
The importance in terms of potential you can bring out of them.
The danger in terms of detriment you can bring upon them.
Warmth is a good thing.
It feels good.
It feels comfortable.
Burning down is the complete opposite.
It’s the end.
It’s a slow death.
Once you understand this.
You understand the world needs you more than you do.
You control it.
It’s all in your control.
More than you think.

HOW TO FORCE YOURSELF TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
MEGA THREAD
MEGA THREAD
You will regret not being aggressive enough.
You will look back and see all the opportunities you missed out on because you hesitated, doubted yourself or simply held yourself back.
I say aggressive and not violent.
Aggressive in the pursuit of what you want.
Aggressive in your action-taking process.
Aggressive in your decision-making.
I say aggressive in the sense of active.
As in fast, intense and action driven.
You'll learn much more from this than passively waiting for things to happen.
You either make things happen or things happen to you.
You either make life happen or life happens to you.
You do not get where you want by endlessly scheming, observing and noticing.
There is a time for that.
But it's marginal.
Most of your time should be allocated to doing, building and creating.
The faster you move, the faster you get there.
The more passive you are, the more you miss out.
Be open to more experiences.
Be open to taking a little more risks.
Instead of worrying about consequences, do the thing then handle the consequences.
One of my favorite ways of handling my worries is simply telling myself this:
"It's not a problem yet, so I'll think about it when it becomes one."
And guess what?
Most of what you worry about never happens.
Be pragmatic.
Stop overthinking and over worrying.
Handle what's at hand not what you think MAY OR MAY NOT happen.

The biggest misconception and misleading lesson we're taught at a young age is that we should avoid conflict.
We're raised into thinking that nothing good comes from conflict.
It's partly true; nobody wants trouble or at least most people don't.
But there are a few bad apples out there who thrive on conflict; and that makes conflict unavoidable.
And even if everyone was as good as they get, people would still have diverging interests.
Which again makes conflict unavoidable.
The idea that you can get through life without any sort of collateral damage or unpleasant encounters is simply delusional.
Yet, we were all taught to think that it was the way to live life.
The result is that good and honest people like yourself end up with the short end of the stick.
Because you avoid conflict, because you think you're better off that way and because you're too genuine... you end up compromising on what's best for you.
For the name of peace and conflict avoidance.
The harsh reality is that you need to get thicker skin and stop avoid the unavoidable.
For as long as you'll fear conflict, it will chase you and you will lose.
But if you stand up and decide to welcome it... you'll soon see that it's sometimes the only way to get what you want.
Do not be a coward.
Fight for what's yours if necessary.
Yes, you should avoid getting in unnecessary conflicts where you have nothing to gain or too much to lose.
Yes, you won't always come out on top if you decide to be more confrontational.
But at least, and this might be more important than anything else...
You'll know that you didn't just cower and be a victim of the will of other people.
You'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror knowing that you gave it your all.
Regardless of the outcomes.

Here is the big problem for most people:
You’re running after a vague idea.
Your goals, your future, your ideal life.. they’re not:
1. Precise
2. Chosen
And most importantly, you’re perceiving them as something to get to.
It’s a step and it looks far every time you want to take it.
And every time you do take it, there is a next one.
You get tired endlessly chasing.
When what you should be looking for is alignment.
Aligned beliefs, aligned goals, aligned lifestyle.
Not achieved.
Aligned with who you truly and intimately are.
Once you make this shift, you’re no longer chasing.
Just fine tuning and calibrating.
Once you understand that life is a game of balance; alignment becomes easier.
And the endless race stops.
You still take down milestones one after the other.
You’re still highly competent and ambitious.
But it comes from a place of feeling and knowing yourself to be able to do what you set your mind to.
You start to truly appreciate the journey, the outcomes and everything that comes along the way.
Nuanced idea.
You hopefully get it.

If you shy away from fighting for what’s yours, you’re signaling to yourself that you’re a coward,
Consciously, you’ll rationalize it and you’ll try to make sense of you picking to flee instead of fighting.
But subconsciously?
Oh my…
You internalize the idea that you’re a coward.
You normalize flight as defense mechanism.
Fly away.
Hide away.
But here is the thing….
Some things chase you forever.
And unless you face them?
They keep eating out parts of your soul.
Man up.
It’s time to take the boogeyman down.
Fear is the enemy.
