We all want to become the best in our field but that will only happen if you experiment like crazy, learn, grow and continue executing.

Just like a small amount of light removes darkness in a room. A small amount of good addiction overcomes all your bad addictions.

Broken finances, broken diet, broken relationships, broken jobs. These are not things you can get rid of. These are things you have to foresee and solve.

Time management is more about knowing your priorities clearly than finding balance.

The biggest mistake most people make in life is not setting goals high enough.

The conscious mind is not the one driving the boat.

Avoid these vanity metrics: 1) Sleeping < 5 hours: Sleep deprivation has long-term consequences. Focus on becoming more effective in your waking hours. 2) Reading hundreds of books: No book is as powerful as the wisdom from your own self reflections. Seek your inner guide...

Don't focus on being the best in the world. Focus on being the best FOR the world.

Ideas are just a multiplier of execution. The most brilliant idea is worthless with no execution.

Your emotional energy is your greatest power. Here's how you harness it to 10x the quality of your work: =》The purest, most potent form of creative energy you have access to is emotional. You like to think you're a thought-based being first, but you're not. You’re a feeling being first. And it is through feeling, through emotion, that you take all action and make all decisions. =》Thought tempers, refines, and directs action, but emotion ignites it. Thought is the forge, but emotion is the fire. And learning to channel that fire will 10x your creative ability. The quality of your work (and results) will be amplified, multiplied, and expanded. =》The 3 biggest problems you'll face when it comes to effectively using your emotional energy are: 1. Reactive instead of responsive 2. No awareness of how to creatively direct it 3. Inability to activate desired emotional states at will Overcoming these = MASSIVE edge in life. =》Asking yourself this question is the EASIEST way to start mastering your emotional energy: ”When I experience a strong emotional charge, be it negative or positive, how do I channel it?” Learning to respond to your emotions starts by understanding how you react to them. =》The goal is to channel your emotions CREATIVELY. Think of the incredible works born from emotion: • A hit ballad born of sadness • A master painting born of wonder • A 7-figure biz born of courageous purpose Emotional energy + mental direction + action = SUPERB RESULTS. =》The next time you experience a strong emotional charge, ask yourself: ”How can I use this energy to create something of value for myself and/or for others?” Even starting with something simple, like transferring anger into a great workout, is a big step in the right direction. @UpskillYourlife

Atlas has this thing he says that you should always remember: Husbands reveal their true nature when the wife is sick. Wives reveal their true nature when the husband is poor. Friends reveal their true nature when you lend them. Brothers reveal their true nature when the matter of inheritance is discussed. I highlighted the middle part because that is what I want to talk about... Forget about your personal experiences, people are vile. It'll shock you over what amount a person would throw away the friendship you 'think' you have. Not saying that they are not your friends, but most people cannot overcome their nature. I've had friends who have borrowed from me and repaid, I've had those that disappeared immediately they got their hands on the money. People are funny, but it is more sad than laughable. Do not be surprised if your friend of 10 years suddenly becomes unreachable because of a few thousand $$, hell less than a thousand dollars. The reason to avoid borrowing friends money is to keep the relationship, not because you'll lose the money. Some people are unreliable, and will fuck the two of you over. If you love your friend, learn to say 'no.'

Persistence is an action. Perseverance is a matter of will. One is energy. The other is endurance.

If you’d like to follow your passion but haven’t yet fostered one, You must begin at the beginning: DISCOVERY. Ask yourself these: - What do I like to think about? - Where does my mind wander? - What do I really care about? - What matters most to me? - How do I enjoy spending my time? And, in contrast, what do I find absolutely unbearable?

Interests are not discovered through introspection. Interests are triggered by interactions with the outside world.

The single greatest obstacle to progress is failing to learn from mistakes.

Most people waste the best years of their life waiting for an adventure to come to them instead of going out and finding one.

Everything that happens in your future is a direct result of what you do today.

Developing self-discipline is a better way of doing things than looking for motivation and shortcuts.

If you want to be successful, you need to study success, not hate it or be envious of it. If you are envious, then you will distance yourself from success and make it that much harder to get there.

You don’t have to come up with new, new things. Just do the old, old thing slightly better than everyone else.
