Your future will be determined by 3 things:
1) One big decision to go all in.
This takes time.
You need to expose yourself to experience (not distraction) to find the thing you are obsessed with.
You don't have an obsession because you haven't made forward progress to become aware of it.
You may not know it exists.

Start by adopting the problem-solver mindset.
That's what all successful people do.
They dedicate their life to solving problems.
So, start with the biggest problem in your life.
If you've never done this, you have to start with shallow problems.
Be honest with yourself.

Find the burning problem in your life:
- Are you overweight?
- Do you hate your job?
- Are you tired all the time?
- Did you just go through a breakup?
- Are you plagued with negative emotions?
Sit with the discomfort, don't avoid it.

2) Repetitive-focused action.
Once you have a goal (a problem to solve) you need to learn how to solve it.
This is obvious, but most people just adopt the victim mindset and hide behind their static identity.
Scour the internet, buy books, and fill your mind with learning.

While you are learning, you will gather:
- The fundamentals
- Clarity on what to do
- Motivation to execute
Motivation isn't bad.
You are hunting for intrinsic motivation here.
You will find a "why" for changing your life that hits you at your core.

Motivation is great, but clarity will turbo boost your results beyond reasonable expectation.
When you are lost, learn.
When you have clarity, act.
With time, you will develop a habit of results-generating actions.
Your default state will be progress, even when you feel bad.

3) The ability to persist and iterate.
We don't want to always rely on motivation.
Motivation is a feeling, and you can act regardless of how you feel.
Because you can guarantee one thing:
It will be difficult.
You will be tested.
It isn't "supposed" to be any other way.

You have to be a failure.
Approach the girl and get rejected. Look like an idiot in the gym. Start the business and watch people criticize your first moves.
Everyone else did it.
Invest in your portfolio of failures until you can afford to succeed.
