The majority of people are living bearable lives that are below their potential
Your ability to tolerate pain directly determines how successful you’ll be
Busyness is often a sign of weakness; a cluttered mind unable to set boundaries
The love of this busyness only leads to a life that feels short and ends quickly
The (modern, material) world sets you up for mediocrity
The world does not want you to succeed
The world has one agenda when it comes to you: It wants you to spend your money
The world wants to make money from your attention
If you follow all the rules, buy what everyone else buys, act the way everyone else acts, and live the life everyone else is living, you’re almost guaranteed to end up in mediocrity
The solution is to do what other people are unwilling to do
If you want what no one else has, you have to do what no one else does
Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do
