Obsession, explained

Obsession is the time when time disappears.
Obsession is the work that feels like play.

Obsession is the work that takes over your life.

And you wouldn’t want life any other way.

paulgraham.com/own.html
Obsession is what you were born to do.

Not what the world tells you to do.
Obsession is the rabbit hole you never want to climb out of.
Obsession is when ‘work-life balance’ becomes irrelevant.
Obsession is a gift.

Those without it, will tell you to relax. To be well-rounded. To stop taking things so seriously.

Whatever you do, don't listen.

Follow obsession.
Keep looking until you find it.
It's the only way to achieve what most consider impossible.

Don’t use social media to create content

Use it to create yourself
In college, at a really low point when I was lost and confused, I did one thing right.

I took out a piece a paper.

And drew a picture of “Zach, 25 y/o"
I need to find the drawing, but it was sort of like the character creation part of a game

He was muscular (skinny soccer player back then)
He was social & outgoing
He was an entrepreneur
He had a following online
He travelled the world (still need to work on this one especially Image

@naval on what separates the "successful" from the unsuccessful

[Clubhouse 3-10-21]

"I think that in general in life, we spend a lot of time procrastinating by learning.

And it's by reading books, it's by reading tweets, it's by asking people. Because we're sort of kind of deciding how committed we want to be to something."
"But when we're finally committed, then we take action.

There’s nothing with trying to get the data to decide whether you want to commit to something or not."
