My Five Weekly Lessons in Under a Minute.
1. The Rule of 36
People like instant gratification.
They like seeing instant results.
Quick money. Fast money. And the likes.
If you achieve those in that short timeframe, consider yourself lucky.
But from what I've seen, the real magic happens at around month 36.
36 straight months of focused daily consistent effort toward actualizing your dreams. Worst case: A (bi)weekly cadence.
But the shorter the difference in iteration, the quicker your feedback loops, and the more metrics you can track your progress toward your goals.
And by 36 months, it's not a habit anymore - it's a lifestyle.
It takes one day to take action.
It takes seven days to create momentum.
It takes 14 days to create consistency.
It takes 30 days to build a habit.
It takes 60 days to build a character.
It takes 90 days to build a lifestyle.
You already have a lifestyle in three months.
What about 36?
2. You attract your own kind
You attract your character.
If you're a good person, you attract other good people.
And the converse is also true: If you're a bad person, you attract bad people.
But here's the kicker - you don't just attract people; you attract characteristics.
You attract values.
You attract vibes.
If you do good unto the world, you attract good people who also do good unto you.
Similarly, if you do bad to the world, you also attract bad people who also do bad stuff...and they do it to you too, and that hurts.
Be yourself.
Be a good person.
Be a person of value.
And you'll attract the right people.
Because you attract your own kind.
3. You are stronger than you imagine.
There will be setbacks,
Mishaps
Inconveniences
Tragedies
Setbacks
Traumas
And other perils along your way.
You will feel devastated.
Lost.
Uncertain.
Hopeless.
Guilt.
Like you don't know what you're doing.
You will feel many things.
But one thing for sure is that you will rise up above it, no matter what.
You will rise up again, more formidable than before, and more concrete than ever.
And the fact that the setback still didn't stop you is a testament to your strength.
You're stronger than you think you are
Give yourself credit for that.
You're stronger than you imagine.
4. You have so much potential it's scary.
I wish people knew how much potential they possess in their minds - it's not even funny.
I'm currently penning something on how the secret to success begins in the mind.
And the good thing about human beings is that we all possess it—our own innate minds to cultivate our grounds for success.
"If you're human, you have a mind." ~Carerra.
However, it's sad that many people are trudging through life for life's sake.
Wake up
Go to school for school's sake
Go to work for work's sake
Return home for home's sake
Eat
Sleep
Repeat
It's sad, to be honest.
It's like a pot that simmers but never boils. Living...but not really living.
If only people knew how much potential they had, then life would be much more meaningful.
Just know that however much you have of it, it's scary...in a good way.
And if you do realize it, good.
Use it.
5. Luck doesn't exist. You create your own.
I'm starting to believe that luck in the presence of hard work doesn't exist.
If you work hard enough to get guaranteed results - which, in many cases, you do - then luck is not a factor.
Rather than being lucky, you were well prepared for the right opportunity and skillfully maneuvered it with the resources you had to your advantage.
It's not luck when you put in 10,000 hours throwing 10,000 career shots, 300 of which won you games. It was all sheer hard work and intense preparation.
"The harder you work, the luckier you become." ~Carl Karcher
Successful people master this.
They work hard enough to increase their luck surface area.
They work hard.
And thus, produce their own luck.
They create their own luck.
