7) Fundamentals

  • You can place yourself in an environment where winning is easy, Simply overachieve where you’re above average

  • The key in life is to know what you DON’T want. Eliminate faster.

  • People with courage makes it easier for us to have courage too. Keep them around.

  • Pattern recognition is the MOST important life skill to grow. You’ll need awareness and observation for this.

  • Perception is Reality. You can bend reality.

  • You will never be perfect, but you are always good enough. Do not ever stop trying.

  • Cultivate a habit of impatience about the things you most want to do. Life is short.
