- Living your life on autopilot - sleep, eat, work an unfulfilling 9-5 job and repeat 5 days a week for 40+ years. Retire, do the few things you can do as an old person and that's it.
Isn't it scary when you think about it?
If you think this lifestyle is fine, you can stop reading here, but if you want to achieve your dreams, keep on reading.
- Just remember:
- "Hard choices, easy life
Easy choices, hard life"
- Jerzy Gregorich
- Make hard choices so your life is easy. Fearing these choices and avoiding them by all costs only makes your life harder.
- Here's some actionable steps to get started:
- Summary:
- Be the "main character"
- Work on your mindset and take action
- Prioritize the things that fuel progress
- Cut out people dragging you down
- Be consistent even if it's boring

- Key aspects:
- Be the "main character"
- Treat yourself as a character in a game you can win. Strip back emotions and anything else that can stop you.
Go ahead and ask yourself some questions like:
"What purpose do I want my character (myself) to have in life?"
"What skills do I want them to learn?"
Write down a clear set of character traits and achievements and immerse yourself in the role of that character.
To make it easier to overcome internal obstacles, you could use an already existent fictional character you want to identify with.
The key to success with this process is just going in the right direction, making mistakes is human and you can always correct your course.
- Be ready to brainwash yourself
- Your mindset is essential:
Without belief, there's no action
But without action, you won't make that belief a reality
These two go hand in hand and you cannot waive one.
Bias yourself toward action and take small steps daily, they make the biggest difference.
- Be prepared to ruthlessly disappoint people
- Cut out anything which is not a do-or-die obligation and hinders your progress.
By working on your own goals and achieving your priorities, you can also help others achieve theirs.
Don't be a prick but set priorites correctly to be a better person overall.
Disappoint others than disappointing yourself. You have to be "dead" to other people for your dreams to live.
- Be prepared to cut people out of your life
- Cut out people if you have to filter or lower yourself for them.
Stop sharing your wins with those who male you feel bad or guilty about them.
Not everyone is supportive, especially the people who believe your wins take away from theirs (which is false).
There's no need to carry the weight of other (negative) people pulling you down in your uphill battle.
Let go or prepare to be dragged down.
- Be prepared to love the boring
- Consistency is key. Achievements are just the visible tip of the iceberg, behind that is sometimes boring but the consistent work which brings you forward more than just talent.
Stop focusing on achievements and focus on the process.
If you can’t do the boring as a part of the process, don’t ever expect to achieve the exciting.
- Common mistakes:
- Most are not intentional
- Most don't work on their mindset
- Most are not consistent with the execution
- Most are not self-aware of their environment
- Most don't design their lives according to their values
