“From this moment on you are a rock. You absorb nothing, you say nothing, and nothing breaks you.”

“Freedom obviously isn’t free. It requires extreme self-honesty, commitment, and courage. It requires peeling away the layers of fear and attachment that would keep you 2x and living a life based on need, not want. It takes owning the consequences of your wins and losses, as well as the consequences of not being understood by many of those around you.”
Dr. Benjamin Hardy, 10x Is Easier Than 2x
In life there’s a price to pay for anything. You just have to decide if it’s worth it and if you can commit to it.

“Action is faith in the present moment”
Kyle Eschenroeder, The Pocket Guide to Action
Every second you don’t trust your ability to execute is another moment you struggle to take action. Don’t look for the reason you’re not acting, look for why you don’t trust the action to produce the long term expected result.

“no one cares about what your life is like when they’re not watching.”

Learn to manage the perception and expectation of you that other people have. If you don’t create one they will do it for you.
