3 STEP BLUEPRINT TO GROW RICH

It seems to me that people have a hard time living authentically. We rush to hide behind group labels. We curate our social media…
I’m not sure which part made you feel that way. What Pressfield meant is that amateurs — those who are inexperienced and just starting out — feel that their art is representative of them. They feel paralysed as a result, and are afraid of making mistakes. It’s a problem because this fear holds them back from growth and doing creative work.
I have a rather long story to share, however I will start in the present and go backwards only when inspired to do so.
Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult

That’s the answer. Change your mindset. Change your behaviors. There’s creativity in all of us.

Phán câu này thì thật tình là rộng quá, vì có người nọ người kia, đánh đồng lại thì rất ư là sai sách.
Thôi xét về mặt khoa học, thì sẽ nhìn từ 2 góc nhìn: Trung bình cộng và trên từng cá nhân.
I think there’s something else going on as well. There’s a principle called chunking, where you can perceive larges sets of information (like pieces on a chess board) in blocks, reducing the time needed to decide which pieces to move.
Learning computer code could also operate much the same way. As you invest in deliberate…
You are what you think about. Happiness is the way. Choose to be happy and success will follow.

Like most of us in life, we ‘want’ certain things, whether it is sentimental, material or immaterial it is human nature to long for something that affords us with self improvement. While personality certainly plays a role in our drive and ambition to reach those goals coupled with external factors…
And they give up after the first obstacle.
With every creative endeavor comes the initial harangue of our inner critic:
You’re confusing the order of events. You had a choice of whether to write this before you wrote it, and because you did I had a choice of whether to read it before I did. Once the choice is made (action) it necessarily follows that at every future moment of deliberation the action ultimately taken could not have been different if the causual nexus…

I’m Going to Tell on Myself.
I really enjoyed the post and it speaks about what everyone needs to take care of. The idea here resonates with Carl Newport’s argument in his book Deep Work.
He argued that the work we do deeply is usually the best. Distractions depletes the quality of the work we do. Getting enmeshed in the current online culture could be…
When I did my senior thesis on the residents of Hawaii’s views towards the local Japanese in 1937 for my second of five degrees, I read every single English version issue of the Hawaii Hochi, and came away with some very interesting articles on Amelia Earhart.
And the only person you should compare yourself to is yourself from yesterday.
Somewhere I once read that “people are not against you, they are for themselves” and as I learned more about…
I think there are a couple of important features that not only define a great entrepreneur but also a great leader.
One of them is, in a small team setting, the ability to find a solution and to execute it.
Recently I was telling someone about a friend who, in my experience, complains a lot, creates drama and problems, and sits squarely in…
Good stories are not remembered for the tales they tell of struggling characters who eventually find unknown abilities and use them to triumph over adversity. Good stories are remembered for how they are told. I’ve walked out of enough second-hand…
In today’s world, change is the only constant.
She was crying down the phone. I didn’t understand.
A few minutes earlier, she was with me. She was saying goodbye. She was saying how she needed new pants for work.
I’m currently going through what could be called a ‘career crisis’. I’m not sure if…

This one really got me thinking! I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a side hustle, but I always fizzle out at the last minute. I needed to hear this today; thank you!
People always complain there is never enough time in a day. I get it. There are too many errands to run…
There are so many things we read, learn or experience, but we’re unable to understand them…
You can also ask will it diminish your willpower. Steve Jobs used to wear the same set of cloths so he could make one fewer decision, saving his valuable willpower for more productive pursuits.
Of course, diminish the need for willpower with routines and habits, but you can squeeze out the most of your willpower when first…
Yes, I know, a very broad title. But that’s because I randomly have a lot of ideas about this.
Before I came out to Utah, I wrote a post about my goals. I think there were like 35 things on the list and I read over it recently. Most of it involved working out, eating…
Reading articles on the internet can be good but applying what you’ve learned is better.
Extremely innovative! In the era where self loathing is spread vastly than the self esteem, you’ve done a great job here. We people seek positivity all the time to keep pushing us towards our goals. You’ve aided it a lot with this :)
When I was in junior high, I had to give oral book reports. I’ll never forget the one time I got so worked up that I actually started…
My favorite line: “…in order for the recipe to work, it’s dependent upon the one thing that 99% of people can’t execute anyway.” Which is, of course: Repeat: Week after week, day after day. Thanks for a truly essential reminder: You have to want it badly enough, and you have to put in the time — every day.
Excellent advice. And the best comparison is between yourself today and yourself yesterday. Your growth is the only metric that counts.
Three takeaways…
First, by implication, several of the suggested traits of the successful person deal with overcoming fear and making oneself uncomfortable. This discomfort is job one as we move toward 9B persons sharing resources on a planet that may be in the last throws of providing a home for humans.
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
Every day is a battle but also an opportunity. What I mean by this is everyday you are faced with challenges but also opportunities to learn and improve.
Great post. I so agree that 1 size does not fit all when dieting!!! I’m 52, have always kept in shape for me, never to attract a guy or look like a barbie doll! I was a fitness instructor for nearly 30 years and never advised the same diet for everyone! Calories in V calories out should from a physics point of view work, if you expend more than you…
Willpower will get you started, but your routines and habits will carry you to the finish line.

One simple smile can open up worlds never thought of, but so can honesty too. If all that one…
Humanity only advances one step at a time. It is limited by how far the lower masses can rise. We are becoming more free all the time and life today has much more to offer the common person then life 200 years ago. Even though it sometimes doesn’t seem that way. Wise and true thoughts can move the…
Accountability and deadlines are two effective ways to kickstart your goals.
This is a surprising insight into chaos theory that most people don’t consider. Chaos theory involves infinite non repeating patterns. God and Goddess are infinite non repeating patterns that are beyond human comprehension.
The best person to compete with is yourself.

A post so good, I had to bookmark it.
I find the greatest amount of pseudoscience in this category, but there are nuggets to be found if you know where to look.
These are most of the biggest regrets I have had from travelling so far. I don’t know if I…
Change what you put in your mind and you change your life.

Happiness is the way.
I would refine that to say do the most important thing before 8 am. More specifically, do the most important thing for today that will get you where you want to go.
Taking risks happens at many levels. It means going outside of what is safe and exposing ourselves to something strange and unfamiliar. Most of the time we don’t do this of our own free will. Life has a way of forcing us into new and difficult situations. Once we are in those situations we try to…
Verb matching is something that professionals do when they really want to connect with other people. Everyone is a little bit different, but most people fall into three different categories, visual, auditory or kinesthetic. What this means is that these three groups of people…
