4 Genius Mental Models That Will Completely Change The Way You Approach Success.

THREAD.

MODEL 1.;
“Validation of God > Validation of Men”

Kanye.

How can you lose by following God?

Understand that most people live their entire lives, shackled, as slaves.

Plagued, imprisoned, by the idea of what others might think of them.

Most people orient their entire lives around approval the approval of others.

In direct contrast to seeking the validation of men, Kanye lives by, and orients his reality around the idea of:

“I could care less what mere mortals think.”

He measures his actions against one metric and one metric only.

“Is this what God wants?”

He could care less how many people attack him.

He could care less of the consequences of [Pursuing ONLY the validation of God].

☝️ That’s the only thing that matters.
The whole world could go against you.

“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

“Validation of God > Validation of Men”

MODEL 2;
“Discipline + Purpose > Motivation”

Tate.

Many people are under the illusion that success only comes to those who are perpetually motivated.

This is not the case.

Delete the idea of needing to be “motivated” from your head.

It’s a scam.

You must rise above “feeling” like you want to do it. You are never going to be permanently motivated to do ANYTHING.

The superior model instead is, as Tate put it:

“Simply decide who it is you want to become. (A winner) And recognise what it is you must do. And do it.”

Take emotion out of the equation.

You have to wake up and say, “I don’t feel like training, but I must train.”

HOW YOU FEEL IS UNIMPORTANT.

DO WHAT YOU NEED, IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW YOU FEEL.

“The man who goes to the gym regardless of how he feels, will always beat the man who goes to the gym only when he feels like going.”

While fighting, Tate would train for 5 hours a day, 6 days a week… and only *felt* like going, 25% of the time.

Are you a winner or not? CHOOSE

“Discipline + Purpose > Motivation”

MODEL 3;
“Either increase sacrifice, or reduce desire.”

Me.

Listen: Most people are completely delusional in their aims and goals.

They *say* they want something.

But if you look at the actions they are currently taking..

It becomes obvious that they will NEVER get what they want.

You need to be honest with yourself.

The action (or lack thereof) that you took this week. Does that set you upon the trajectory to reach the finish line?

For the vast majority of people: the answer is categorically NO.

They are genuinely not trying anywhere near hard enough.

If this is you - you really only have two options.

You can INCREASE sacrifice, giving more of your time, energy, cutting out more distractions etc

OR

You can REDUCE desire, admit that you don’t really want it that bad. And save yourself the heartache.

Either is fine. CHOOSE.

“Either increase sacrifice, or reduce desire.”

MODEL 4;
“What the FUCK does this have to with Chess?”

Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer is arguably one of the greatest chess players of all time.

On September 11th, 2001

Bobby was asked,

“Mr. Fischer, what are your thoughts on the 9/11 attacks?”

He paused for a moment before replying sternly with, “What the FUCK has this got to do with chess?”

In order to become the best at what you do, it must consume your every thought.

Nothing but laser-like focus, and complete tunnel vision, will get you there.

Here is one of the greatest American tragedies of all time, and Bobby remains uninterested due to its lack of relevance.

Some may criticise the above as cold or heartless, and they would be correct, but you cannot deny his brutal effectiveness.

Bobby Fischer became the best of his time due to his utterly unrelenting focus.

Imagine if you applied just 10% of that.

So hbu? What’s your “Chess”?

“What the FUCK has this got to do with chess?”

RECAP:

- God’s validation > Man’s Validation
- Purpose + Discipline > Motivation
- Either Increase Sacrifice or Reduce Desire
- What the Fuck Has This Got to Do With Chess?
