INSIGHT

Quit Hoping For A Finish Line

Stop living for a future finish line and start engaging fully in the present moment instead of chasing completion fantasies.
Success fantasies delay action because imagining the end feels easier than doing the work now.

ADVICE

Lean Just Beyond Your Edge

Locate your real edge and lean just beyond it to optimize growth without injury or stagnation.
Incremental pushes (one rep more, one step further) compound into meaningful progress across your days.

ADVICE

Keep Your Decisions Your Own

Trust your own decisions and avoid changing your mind just to please others, because that robs you of feedback and confidence.
Let successes and failures return to your ownership so you can learn and build trust in yourself.

★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★

(2:00) 1. POLARITY Polarity - Masculine and Feminine - Night / day. - Black + white / color - Up / down - hot / cold - east / west - moon / sun This is what creates ATTRACTION - magnets.

(0:00) 2. Stop Hoping For Completion If you're not doing it right now - probably won't ever do it. Success fantasies - can be the REASON you hurt and the reason you don't take action.

(0:00) 3. Live At Your (REAL) Edge (don't fake it) 32,850 - number of days from birth to 90 y.o. Lean just beyond edge. Small gains. Gym - increase slowly. Safety path (educate 20 / work 40 / retire 20) vs. Danger path (risk it all)

(0:00) 4. Never Change Your Mind to Please Your Woman Or anyone for that matter Safety mechanism - b/c if your idea fails = ALL on you. If change mind = safety of blaming someone else. BUT if it succeeds = you DON'T feel confident (not your idea). Add stock to your own decision making skills, not others.

(0:00) 5. Discover Your Purpose Today Know Thyself - True North - You and Only You Can Do! Discover your STRENGTHS today! Martin Seligman "Know your strengths, use them often" Authentichappiness.com - strengths finder (24 sig. strengths)

(0:00) 6. Enjoy Your Friends Criticism "You are the AVG of top 5 people you hang around most" We can be too close to ourselves / need objective perspective Someone who knows you WELL - willing to call you out.

(0:00) 7. Do Not Use Your Family As An Excuse S.E.A. - travel saw people from EVERYWHERE. Hostel. People who "didn't fit mold" (eat pray love / infinity sign tattoo / granola hippie whole foods) Are you willing to give up excuses? Everyone has eliminated the excuses traveling = why people get along so well! Never going to get easier. NEED to start TODAY.

(0:00) 8. Praise Her #17 - Praise Her Freely Men grow throw challenge (jump fence / lift weight / dare you to X) Women grow through praise (X looks great on you / so pretty) Both superficial - deeper in relationships. She NEEDS praise form you. NO MR. FIX IT. Just wants to be listened to and encouraged - not fixed. Speaking to your woman, call glass half full not half empty. Praise qualities you want to see GROW

(0:00) 9. Live As If Your Father Was Dead Baggage from dad - Kid who looked to others of what to do. "What we should do" - get rid of those expectations

(0:00) 10. Hear Her Complaints As Warning Bells #31 Her Complaint is Content Free When a woman "nags" should be taken as "get it together" Trying to make you better. Deeper issue. Not that you didn't clean the garage when you said you would 2 weeks ago - that she can't trust you + you don't keep word. No follow through - flake. Lack of integrity. Your word is your bond - your masculine core - your integrity - the polarity that's attractive!
