Thread - The 2 Pillars of the Good Life:
- Pillar 1 -

Iteration - a procedure in which repetition of a sequence of operations yields results successively closer to a desired result.

Iteration is evolution. Constant improvement.

When things go wrong, try something else.

When something works, repeat it.
Lifting weights = iteration

You are repeating the same process week by week, year by year, to build and maintain your health. (And look sexy)

Morning routines = iteration

Find a routine that gets you up, clears your head, and pushes you to create. Repeat for consistent mood.
Dating = iteration

You approach, get rejected, build confidence, repeat. You date, learn what you want, and repeat until you achieve the desired result.

Skill = iteration

You will suck at first, you will practice, you will get closer to mastery each day.
Business = iteration

The common theme is to fail multiple times before you find what works. Once you do, you repeat and adapt until you reach your desired income.

ANYTHING good requires iteration

In a better spot than you were last year? It is because of 100s of iterations.
- Pillar 2 -

Awareness - the state of being conscious of something. More specifically, it is the ability to directly know and perceive, to feel, or to be cognizant of events.

Awareness and iteration go hand in hand.

You will try and fail - but how will that affect you?
Projecting into the future = lack of awareness

Worrying about something not working out. Stressing over upcoming events.

You are experiencing negative feelings because you are uncertain.

Ultimately this is a waste of time + energy and doesn't need to affect you much.
Dwelling on the past = lack of awareness

No matter how much you think about the past, it isn't going to change it.

Bad breakup? Be aware of that energy and channel it into something better.

Broke? Channel the pain into fixing your situation.
Increasing your awareness through meditation, journaling, conscious practice, and reflection will 10x the quality of your life.

Lows won't be as low.

Highs will be more enjoyable.

Twitter won't make you as angry (haha)
Combine awareness and iteration and you become an unstoppable force of nature.

The perfect formula for "falling in love with the process," enjoying the journey.

No need to explain this further, so I will end the thread here.

Practice and implement my friends.

Happy Monday

The Hierarchy of Getting Shit Done

(How to set big goals and actually achieve them)

*THREAD*
1) Top of the pyramid: Vision

In order to become the person you want to become

You need to KNOW who you want to become, right?

You need to know what kind of lifestyle you want to live.

4 hour work weeks living in a beach house?

Huge plot of land + farm + family?
Take 20 minutes

Sit down with a paper and pen

Write out what YOU would like to see as your future lifestyle

What climate do you want to live in?

How much money do you want to make?

How does your fitness/physique look?

Do you want a family? How big?

Thread - 8 habits of people that are going to accomplish anything they want:
1. Managing your energy, not your time

Motivation/discipline stems from having the energy to do something

Eat better, move more, and consume less mindless entertainment

Line up your most important tasks in the morning when your energy is highest
2. Spending time with winners

If you spend time with corporate drones you will become one

If you spend time with the opposite you will become one

There is a bit more to it, but you get the point

How I went from being a broke college student making $1000/month to making multiple 6 figures online

Buckle in, it gets bumpy

My story - a thread:
Let's start way back

When I was 16 I was super into fitness

After school weights

Would sneak into the community 18+ gym

Had a garage bench press where my buddy and I would blast music and max out every day (lol)

This leads into my first online biz venture
2 years later, freshman year of college my other friend and I started a YouTube channel

We shot vids in the gym, did talking head vids on different topics, and did eating challenges

The most notable was a 10k calorie challenge that I have unlisted on my account

People go to college to find their purpose but end up getting indoctrinated instead
Just saw a sign for a college here that said

“Find your purpose”

More like find “find where you fit as a cog in the machine”
College isn’t bad

Just see it for what it is
