Uncommon opinion: Outcome often matters more than the intention. I'll give you an example. Let's say someone broke a promise they made to you. You can either assume their intentions as good or bad or you can focus on the outcome. If you assume their intention to be good (or in other words, they had a valid reason)... you might fall for the trap of letting others break their promises more often to you. If you assume their intention to be bad (or in other words, they didn't have a valid reason)... you'll fill yourself with negativity. Instead, focus on the outcome - they broke a promise. Your response - reduce the responsibility you give them, temporarily. If they break it again, reduce more. If they don't break it again, bring it back up. I know what you're thinking: "But shouldn't I ask them for their intention blah blah blah" Understand this my friend... The chances of them sharing their true intention is fucking low. We all lie. If you base your response on a lie, you're gonna be fucked. Instead, base your response on the outcome. And never give a drastic reaction. Take it step by step. Easy as that. Stop overcomplicating it.

Life is never black or white. There's always nuance. There's always grey. But grey hates action. It can't give you a clear direction to act. Use it to zoom out and understand your mistakes. But when it's time to act, you have to choose an extreme. Don't try to always live with the nuances. You'll never gain clarity. As Chesterton says: "The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits."

Never put yourself in a box. It destroys your ability to think clearly. It creates biases. You'll have trouble separating yourself from the box. Or in other words, you'll always learn the lessons too late. Be free from as many biases, boxes, and categories as you can. Always be ready to change your path.

If everyone around you complains, odds are you're a complainer. If everyone arounds you feels helpless, odds are you're helpless. If everyone around you is pursuing big dreams, odd are you are pursuing big dreams. Choose your company wisely.

🚨 Announcement 🚨 In a few weeks, I am gonna launch a 25 day course: The Map Of Superiority - Create your life’s compass that gets more effective with use and leads to a profitable future, pleasant present, and fulfillment. Yes, too long of a sub-name. I'll shorten it. But here's what you need to know: For the past 2 years, I have been building systems to reach my goals faster without having to live a life full of suffering. And I'll share everything you need inside the course. The course is divided into 2 parts: First, a self-correcting system to fix your life at points of failure. Second, specific systems I have made using the self-correcting system. And you're the only people who know about this. So, why am I posting this here? Because I have a gift and a request. I want to get on a short 15 min call with you to understand what you would like to see in the course. As a gift, if you show up for the call, you'll get a 70-100% discount once the course releases. No one except those who show up will get such a massive discount. I'll cap it at 20 calls. To book your spot, message me @based_realist

I am having a conversation with a guy in the comment section of this channel. And there's something I want to point you. I want to share a massive reason why most people never get their life together. They are stuck in "should" and "shouldn't". They have been programmed with what should happen, and what shouldn't happen. For instance - you shouldn't be bothered by what other people think. Well, here's the thing - if their opinion is a problem to you, then it is bothering you. Simple as that. Whether it should happen or shouldn't happen is out of question. It is happening and that's a fact. Just by realizing that something is wrong won't fix it. Of course, it's important. But it's not enough to solve your problems. If you want to solve your problems, you have to go deep within yourself. Find why certain things like other people's opinion matters to you so much. Understand how it makes you feel and find a way to either reduce that feeling or replace it.

STOP TAKING PERSONALITY TESTS You'll take it and get your results and be thinking: "Woaaah it's literally me!" You idiot just gave them the answers. You literally spoonfed the results, of course they'll feel relatable. "But isn't that the point of a quiz? Synthesizing?" Sure. But the results are supposed to be absolute and correct forever. Which they cannot be. Personality quiz are based on your feeling and experiences at the moment you took the test. It might be true for that specific moment, day, week and even months. But the thing is, our personalities are shaped by the experiences we go through and how we react to them. Which can often be completely random. It only takes one realization for your whole thought processes to change. Your personalit keeps changing throughout time. Haven't you ever met someone you thought you knew, but with time have become a completely different person. Well that happens to all of us, we just don't realize it because it's not measurable. And that, is exactly why personality tests are not reliable. You cannot measure personality. It might be useful for criminal profiling, makes the job easy. But when it comes to enhancing your own self-awareness, do not count on external tools to tell you who you are. You literally program yourself to be what you believe yourself to be. You implant an idea of what you are in your mind and you try subconsciously to live up to that expectation every single moment. That shit is far more impactful than you would think. It's like in that movie Inception where they implant ideas in people's mind. Well you do that to yourself constantly. And looking to put yourself in a box (through personality tests or other ways) limits your potential and your ability to change and adapt. Because that's what intelligence is, the ability to adapt. And unless you accept that you are ever changing, you will forever limit yourself to whatever ideas you have accepted as true. This is dangerous. Adopt the growth mindset.
