The pattern of an ambitious soul dying: Stuck -> Frustrated -> Settle -> Justify it.

in my experience, being stuck is rarely a discipline/agency problem, and usually a desire problem as in: you can’t articulate or even fully feel your true desires, so it’s impossible to move forward

You know those people who "expect the best" for themselves? The ones so many find obnoxious or egotistical... They often get exactly what they want. Not because they cheat or steal, but largely because they believe that it's what they deserve... - and they work to meet that.

"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp...or what is heaven for?" - Browning We are not meant to live with the boundaries of our abilities, but to challenge them. "Impossible" is where the ambitious thrive. The compulsion to never give up reaching, is our spark.

People spend too long worrying about the effort of changing a bad situation... ...and not enough time thinking about the life they could have on the other side.

If you truly like yourself, are proud of yourself, are excited about what you can do, and express that - Oh the hate that you will get. The people who will try to "put you in your place" or "tell you how it is." Never stop. Never listen. Keep getting excited about life.

If you are in a position to do something wonderful for another person....do it. It is a small thing for you, But it can change a person's whole life.

I suggest this high level recruiting tactic all the time. If you're a CEO - reaching out personally is a cheat code to great talent. It indicates deep seriousness, intentionality & personalization. I've seen people build incredible teams this way.

A psychology trick of successful politicians, media, and many businesses to steer public opinion: "The person who controls the narrative controls the outcome." The most powerful people don't win arguments - they decide what the argument is about.

Internal resistance works differently in your personal life vs work. Personally -> it's often a warning sign In Your Work -> It's often a doorway to better Most people blend these. When they feel resistance at work, it stops them. Better results = Kicking down the Door.

People will talk about "revolution" in societies, while their own lives could use a revolution. They will put energy into politics, without putting energy into improving their own circumstances. Society has tricked you to put energy into the wrong places - Don't fall for it.

People often lack patience and grind. That's why - if you are willing to work for *years & years* relentlessly, you will beat 95% of other people. Most who want to skip to the top, lack true commitment.

Fyi, a lot of people others assume are "talented" or “lucky” are just very, very hard workers.

If there is any work that you are "above doing" (or feel is beneath you) - that will be the thing that holds you back.

On X, if you find real people, doing real world things, who interact & you know aren't bots - hold onto them. AI is going to make it very hard to determine who is real and who isn't - know your circle! It's how you'll learn the most, and have the best network for the future.
