- Aim upwards (080)
How to improve yourself and your life
Follow the call to adventure. When you feel the pull in a certain direction, when life calls your number, step up.
You need goals. Positive emotion is always associated with a goal. The higher your goal the more positive the emotion. Thus, you need a goal, and you should pick the highest possible goal no matter how lofty.
Aim upwards towards the lofty goal you have set. Remind yourself daily of the goal you have set.
A serious transformation will probably be required to achieve it. Make the necessary sacrifices when its time. The sacrifices will get higher in value as the reach gets higher.
Put it all on the line no matter what and let go of what you need to let go of. You will transform.
What I’m Reading
Last week I read The Almanack of Naval. Here are a few of my favourite quotes from the book.
You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
[Wisdom is] understanding the long-term consequences of your actions.
There are basically three big decisions you will make in your early life: where you live, who you’re with, and what you do.
“Clear thinker” is a better compliment that “smart.”
This week I will be continuing The Mind of Napoleon by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Have a great week :)
