Your single greatest 21st-century superpower:
Pursuing the inconvenient truth over the comforting life (and lie)
So here are 19 inconvenient truths I don't want to forget:
--
1. Working 12-hour days may be a comfortable place to be but that’s not LIFE. I call it the default living.
--
2. It’s easier to burnout than it is to have the courage to realize your potential.
--
3. Success starts on the inside but we chase in on the outside.
--
4. Money is not evil but money alone doesn’t create happiness. Money solves problems. You have different problems when you have money but you still have problems.
--
5. You know exactly what you should be doing, so stop chasing shiny objects. Focus your attention on the things that matter and forget the rest. Oftentimes, these are the scariest things.
--
6. You can solve almost every stress, burnout, and anxiety with 7 easy things: eat well, sleep about 8 hours, move often, meditate, breathe, get some sunlight and connect with people IRL.
--
7. If you spend more time thinking and less time doing, you’ll be in a much better place.
--
8. Stop falling for the cult of productivity and busyness and instead focus on well-being, relationships, and creative living.
--
9. If you are looking for productivity hacks and time management hacks, you’re looking in the wrong place. The only hack is you. Not even bulletproof coffee can give you the clarity you’ll get from time alone.
--
10. If you’re choosing material stuff instead of experiences, you don’t understand the principles of happiness.
--
11. It’s never too late to redesign your life for more simplicity, purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
--
12. Time, energy, health, and attention are your biggest assets. Not the size of your bank account or your title.
--
13. You can complain about the game, or you can break the rules and write yours.
--
14. Your work is not your identity. It’s just something you do. Hopefully, you find it interesting and challenging.
--
15. If you're afraid to do what your soul desires, you have an unhealthy ego.
--
16. If you can replace FOMO (fear of missing out) with JOMO (joy of missing out) you will be happier, even purely by definition.
--
17. The really successful people don’t have a personal brand. They have a business. They don’t want to be found. They are happily creating in solitude, not on social media.
--
18. Being "busy" is a sign of stupidity, not a badge of honor.
--
19. 99% of people would rather be uncomfortable and unhappy than have the courage to shine a light on the dark.
--
That's it. Most people spend their lives avoiding these truths (and end up in a spot they don't want to be because of it).
Start pursuing these truths and watch your results accelerate overnight.
